GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 1,300 ft.
Want to get away from it all, then this is the place. The campground is
a single loop on the east shore of Moose Lake in a stand of maple and
birch trees. Most campsites are on the shoreline. Young deciduous trees
and shrub provide excellent privacy. Because the birch and maple trees
are so abundant, it suggests great Fall foliage. The 1,670-acre Moose Lake
features good fishing and boating opportunities.

The campground has two loops - North and South. They form a figure "8"

and fishing pier, the campground's focus is on water sports. Boats may
be tied up along the lake's rocky shoreline within the campground.
Campsites in the North Loop are closer together than in the South Loop
and with limited middlestory throughout the campground, privacy is fair
to poor. The campground shares the lake with a number of private
residences.

NOTE: The last 2.3 miles is on Park Rd.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 1,300 ft.
The campground, one of four in the Mondeaux Flowage Recreation Area,
is located along the western shore of Mondeaux Flowage (a.k.a. Lake)
on a peninsula known as Spearhead Point. The campsites are tucked
into a stand of mixed deciduous trees. The dense vegetation limits
views of the water but the natural shoreline of Mondeaux Flowage makes
it a lovely place to explore by canoe or kayak. The campground is a
large single loop with three small connected loops. The interior road
is tear-drop, making it difficult for some RVs to negotiate a second
run through. It has a primitive boat ramp but many sites have a place
that can be used for fishing or mooring a boat. These smaller adjacent
loops would be great for family or group camping. This campground is
the most popular in the Recreation Area. Nearby Mondeaux Dam Recreation
Area has a concession stand/snack bar, coin operated hot showers, boat
ramp, firewood, and public telephone . The Recreation Area was
originally built by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) and Work
Projects Administration (WPA) in 1938 and is on the National Register of
Historic Places. Examples of their quality workmanship are still evident.
With swimming, boating, fishing, hiking trails, and wildlife viewing
available, the Mondeaux Flowage Recreation Area is very family oriented.

GENERAL COMMENTS:
This rustic campground, one of four in the Mondeaux Flowage

(lake) on a thumb of land covered by a mix of hardwoods. The
campground is a single spur along the highest part of the peninsula
ending in a loop. The campsites in the loop have the best view of
the water. The sites have a groomed grass understory and separation,
rather than vegetation, provides good to excellent privacy between
campsites. Some campsites have under-maintained steps leading to the
water's edge. The variety of hardwood trees suggest nice fall foliage.
The nearby Mondeaux Dam Recreation Area has a concession stand/snack
bar, coin operated hot showers, boat ramp, firewood, and public
telephone . The Recreation Area was originally built by the Civilian
Conservation Corps (CCC) and Work Projects Administration (WPA) in 1938
