🏕️🐾 Peaceful Forest Camping at Drummond Lake Campground – Drummond, WI

On this leg of our Life on Paws and Wheels journey, Simba the Adventure Pup and I found a cozy, quiet hideaway in Drummond, Wisconsin — the lovely and low-key Drummond Lake Campground. Nestled near the sprawling Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, this spot was just what we needed to reset, relax, and soak in some classic Northwoods peace and quiet. 🌲💚

🚐 First Impressions

The moment we pulled in, I knew this would be a peaceful stop. The lake shimmered in the late light, campsites were spaced out enough for comfort, and the sounds of wind through the trees instantly relaxed both of us. Whether you’re in an RV, tent, or campervan, this campground offers easy access to nature without the crowds.

🐶 Simba’s Campground Report

Simba had plenty of room to stretch his legs and sniff to his heart’s content! He loved:

• Wandering the lakefront path
• Watching loons from the shoreline
• Enjoying a quiet dinner under the pines

The campground is very dog-friendly (on-leash, of course), and the relaxed vibe made it one of Simba’s favorite low-key stops.

🌲 Outdoor Highlights

Besides the peaceful camping, Drummond Lake Campground is a perfect basecamp for outdoor fun:

• Hiking in the nearby Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest
• Fishing and paddling on Drummond Lake
• Birdwatching and nature photography along the water’s edge
• Campfires and stargazing with minimal light pollution

If you’re looking to reconnect with the basics — nature, stillness, and a comfy campsite — this one checks all the boxes.
