Camping near Prentice, Wisconsin
Prentice is a small village in Price County in Wisconsin's Northwoods, sitting at the intersection of US Highway 8 and Wisconsin Highway 13. The location makes it a practical staging point for RV travelers heading into the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, the Flambeau River watershed, and the lakes and flowages of north-central Wisconsin.
Camping options within reasonable driving distance range from full-service private resorts to remote, water-access sites. Named properties in the broader area include Brumley's Resort, Spirit Falls Camping, Moose Jaw Lodge and Resort, Willow's End Resort & Campground, and Cedar Falls Campground on the Tomahawk River just upstream of the Willow Flowage.
Beyond private grounds, the surrounding national forest, county forest, and Wisconsin Valley Improvement Company lands hold additional developed and rustic campgrounds. Most RV travelers use Prentice as a base for fishing, paddling, ATV riding, or exploring the Willow Flowage and nearby lake chains.
Things to do around Prentice
Water recreation drives most trips. Area lakes and the Willow Flowage support fishing for walleye, musky, smallmouth bass, and panfish, and both rivers and flowages support canoeing and kayaking. Cedar Falls Campground sits on the Tomahawk River with access to the roughly 7,000-acre Willow Flowage, one of the state's largest undeveloped flowages.
On land, Prentice connects to the Price County ATV and UTV trail network, with routes across county forest land and old logging roads. Riders can stage from town. Hiking and wildlife viewing are available throughout the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, and in winter the same corridors carry snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, and ice fishing traffic.

The core camping season in this part of Wisconsin runs from late April or early May through mid-October, with peak demand between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Most Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest campgrounds open and close on that schedule, and private resorts around Prentice generally follow a similar pattern.
Summer brings the warmest weather, the most reliable swimming and paddling, and heavy mosquito and biting-fly activity in June. Nights can drop below 50 degrees Fahrenheit even in mid-summer, so RV travelers should pack layers. Fall delivers color through late September and early October and thinner crowds, but overnight frosts are common.
Winter is long, cold, and snowy. Most developed campgrounds close, water systems are shut off, and travel shifts to snowmobiling, ice fishing, and cross-country skiing. A few private resorts keep cabins open through the snow season, but full-service RV camping is limited outside the warm months.
How to book a campsite
Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest campgrounds are booked through Recreation.gov, which handles reservations for the forest's developed sites. Some forest campgrounds also hold first-come, first-served sites, but reservations are recommended for weekends between Memorial Day and Labor Day.
Private resorts near Prentice, including Brumley's Resort, Spirit Falls Camping, Moose Jaw Lodge and Resort, and Willow's End Resort & Campground, take bookings directly by phone or through their own websites. Cedar Falls Campground, operated by the Wisconsin Valley Improvement Company, uses an online customer portal. Cancellations are accepted up to seven days before arrival for a full refund minus a cancellation fee, with a partial refund between two and seven days out and no refund inside two days.
For holiday weekends and prime fishing openers, book several weeks in advance.
What to expect on the ground
Sites around Prentice range from full-hookup RV pads at private resorts to rustic tent and small-rig sites on national forest land. Some private resorts offer full-hookup campsites alongside cabins, while national forest campgrounds tend to have limited or no electric hookups, so RV travelers should arrive with full fresh tanks and empty waste tanks.
Cell service is spotty across much of Price and Oneida counties, and many campsites in the national forest have no signal at all. Download maps and reservation confirmations before leaving pavement. Bears live throughout the area, so food should be stored inside the RV or in hard-sided containers. Buy firewood locally to avoid moving invasive pests, and check individual campground rules on generator hours, pets, and quiet hours.
