Spearhead Point is a beloved campground known for its beautiful natural setting, spacious sites, and opportunities for kayaking and fishing directly from campsites. While the campground lacks hookups and flush toilets, it is well-maintained and offers a quiet atmosphere for nature enthusiasts. Some visitors noted issues with noise and staff availability, but overall, the positive experiences of enjoying the outdoors and the friendly environment overshadowed the negatives.

Our family has been camping here for forty years now. We generally know what to expect and look forward to a couple visits each year. The outhouse is the cleanest of any campground that we've ever visited and the easy access to fresh water is great!

The only drawback is the same issue that campers have dealt with for years - generators. People drag generators to these peaceful campgrounds and make so much noise that many campers find it difficult to relax. The endless droning is terrible, plain & simple. We watched a man in the site next to us get told to turn down the volume on his radio, while the site next to him had a generator that was easily three times louder than his music...just crazy.

We had a great time at this sweet FS campground. There were very few people in the campground which always makes it more enjoyable. The only issue was the vet full smelly garbage dumpsters. It would have been nice to have a camp host that was actually there.

I stayed at Site 13 and it was probably the 'least nice' exterior site in the CG and it was still amazing. All sites along the exterior/flowage have a private pier! This is a paddlers dream campground. Roomy, mostly private, sites, all with good proximity to restrooms. No showers here; it's rustic, but the bathrooms were very clean and did not have an odor issue as I was there in October.

Hidden gem. Had a little trouble finding it, but was definitley worth it once we got there. Very spacious campsites and relatively private. Almost every campsite having its own dock is a huge bonus also.

Beautiful campground in the fall. Lake access was great to have and the swing top firepit was very helpful for warmth and cooking.

Very quiet campsite, and clean campsite. During the fall, the leaves are amazing. Would definitely go back.

The weather was cool, but the leaves were beautiful. Gorgeous setting.
Enjoyed having a private dock for my coffee : ) and kayak -- but note, it is down a flight of stairs. (I used a long rope to ease my kayak down and haul it back up, which worked out great for my recreation boat.)

Campground and bathrooms clean. Hosts are friendly. Our favorite place to hop off the grid and leave the rat race behind.

This is a quiet get-away -- possibly the quietest campground I have ever been in (save for the second night when some loud-voiced yahoos partied at the site diagonally from me). The sites are beautiful and very private.

My only two minor qualms:
- Although swimming is listed as an amenity, I could not find said swimming area which would have been nice given the lack of showers. But no biggie if you're prepared for it.
- This site is such a well-kept secret that you should not expect any signs to lead you there from the road. The Forest Service road sign that the directions indicate you to use is very small so you have to be on the lookout for it. No cell service out there so don't depend on your phone maps program to get you there. Fortunately, it is listed on Wisconsin state maps so you can go back to the old way of finding places that way (though the forest road you need is not shown so follow the instructions in the email you get). I

The directional issue is probably what saves this campground from being overrun by noisy visitors, though. So that might be a bonus and not a negative.
