Overview
The Westpoint Campground is a family-friendly campground with access to a beautiful northern Wisconsin recreation area, complete with hiking trails and a scenic lake.
Recreation
A boat ramp into the 411-acre Mondeaux Flowage is available not far from the campground. The lake, although rather shallow, is popular for swimming and fishing. Anglers can expect a catch of musky, pan fish, largemouth bass and pike, among other varieties.
A series of hiking trails is available in the area, including for the 1,200-mile Ice Age National Scenic Trail, which traces the edges of a historic glacier that once covered the state of Wisconsin and much of North America.
Facilities
The campground offers a dozen sites for tent or RV camping. No hookups are available.
Each site is equipped with tables and campfire rings with grills. Accessible vault toilets are provided. Drinking water is available at the campround or at Glacial Springs, located on Park Road (FR 1563). A picnic area is available at the nearby Mondeaux Picnic Area.
Natural Features
The campground sits within the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, near the city of Medford. Shady sites are nestled along the Mondeaux Flowage, with the Ice Age National Scenic Trail traversing the campground.
Nearby Attractions
The campground is just a couple miles from the popular Mondeaux Picnic Area at the Mondeaux Dam Recreation Area.
