Wanoka Lake Campground Host

The Washburn Ranger District of the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest is looking for a motivated volunteer to serve as a campground host at Wanoka Campground. The campground is located in Northwest Wisconsin between the towns of Iron River and Ashland.

If you are interested in a beautiful campground and great fishing, then Wanoka

campground is just the right place for you. The campground is accessed off Highway 2, so there is great access to amenities. Wanoka Campground is located on Wanoka Lake. The campsites are situated within mature white pines which produce great shade. There are trout, pan fish, etc.

Wanoka Campground is a primitive campground with no electric or water hook ups available. There are 18 campsites available, 12 of which are reservation sites. 

Sites can be used for tents and RV camping. Each site has a campfire ring and a picnic table. Vault toilets and drinking water are also available with the campground. The campground also has trash collection and a recycling container. 

The host site has a solar panel which assists the host with electricity, although the capacity is limited. There is also a holding tank for the host septic. There is no water in the host site, although there are two potable water pumps in the campground. 

Fuel, fishing supplies, firewood, ice and restaurants are within 7 miles on a main highway.
