Our Story

A Century of Northwoods Tradition

Nestled along the quiet, tree-lined shores of Otter Lake in the Town of Skanawan, our campground has been a haven for outdoor enthusiasts for generations. What began as a modest family retreat has grown into one of the region's most treasured camping destinations — without ever sacrificing the intimacy and tranquility that first drew visitors here.

Whether you arrive with a fifth-wheel trailer, a compact tent, or just a sleeping bag and a sense of wonder, Otter Lake Campground offers the perfect basecamp for exploring Wisconsin's vast Northwoods. Kayak forgotten coves, cast a line from the dock at dawn, or simply sit on your site's fire ring and listen to the loon call across the water.

What Our Campers Say

We've been coming to Otter Lake for three summers now, and it just keeps getting better. The lakefront sites are unmatched — we wake up to loons calling and the water is glass every morning.

Finally, a campground that feels cared for. The sites are level, the hookups work perfectly, and the restrooms are cleaner than most hotels. The staff is friendly and genuinely helpful.

Brought the kids for their first real camping trip and it was magical. The trails are easy enough for them, the lake is safe, and there's something special about sleeping under those stars.
