This was our 1st time being at this park. Spaces were of good size and well maintained.
I was doing some fishing and there was a good boat landing near by. The catching of
walleyes was a bit sparse when we were there how ever. My wife and I had a good stay

Quiet, clean, well spaced sites. Picnic area with fishing, boat launch & dam all within walking distance. We will be back!

The COE Campground at The Lake Winnie Dam is one of the nicer campgrounds I’ve stayed at during my full-time travels around the U.S. It’s close to some outstanding recreation areas, especially water sports. The campsites are nicely spaced so you have privacy and the grounds are well maintained. My site was perfectly level and the smell of the pines made for a memorable north woods experience. There are plenty of sights to see nearby and you absolutely have to stop by the Gosh Dam Bar nearby for a really good meal and great atmosphere. This is a pretty small campground with plenty of amenities. I highly recommend it.
