Best Time to Camp at Chippewa
Experience the dynamic beauty of Wisconsin's northwoods through changing seasons at Chippewa. Summer arrives with warm, languid days perfect for swimming and paddling, though temperatures can dance between crisp 40-degree mornings and balmy 85-degree afternoons. Pack your rain gear and bug spray for those occasional showers and mosquito-filled evenings that are part of the authentic woodland experience. As autumn approaches, the campground transforms into a quieter sanctuary, with cooler air bringing relief from summer's insects and painting the forest canopy in brilliant golds and crimsons.
Peak season for swimming, paddling and boating; reviews cite bugs and poorly maintained swim areas in summer.
Fall and early spring noted as ideal: fewer bugs and moderate weather, attractive foliage season in northwoods.
Late spring (after May 20) offers moderate weather and fewer bugs; limited season start delays some spring access.
Campground closed from Oct–May; winter camping not available at site.
Planning Tips
- Peak Season: May 20th to September 30th.. Book 2-3 months ahead.
- Operating Season: Open from May 20th through September 30th each year.
