About Fishing Campgrounds in Wisconsin
Wisconsin stands as one of America's premier fishing destinations, where more than 15,000 lakes and countless miles of rivers create an angler's paradise. From the legendary musky waters of the Northwoods to the productive walleye grounds of Lake Winnebago, and from the mighty Mississippi's catfish pools to pristine trout streams in the Driftless Area, the Badger State offers fishing diversity that rivals any in the nation.
