You looking for a place with hook ups, electricity, etc or actual camping ? Dispersed AKA primitive camping in Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest is our favorite. On this page you can click on various Ranger districts depending on what part of the forest you want to go to and download a map that shows dispersed camping sites. Usually you wont see anyone, the Forest Service roads to get to most of these are pretty smooth.
MAP LINKS Our last trip to Nicolet was to Farr Lake on Labor day weekend and we had the whole lake to ourselves all weekend.

If you're going this route, and I would recommend it also, just remember to keep a close watch on the dogs, don't let them wander off. Certain areas of the Nicolet now are infested with wolves, and coyotes are abundant also (a definite threat to ankle-biter size dogs also). So are bears abundant, so use precautions with food storage....they're all virtually no threat to people otherwise. But dogs are in serious shit if they wander off.
Camping is allowed just about anywhere on the Nicolet except boat landings and other designated parking areas. Also be aware that certain parking areas (mostly at trail heads) require a $10 yearly parking pass.
If you're in a remote area, you can target shoot also. It's legal, just don't leave anything behind, not even .22 shell casings. They are very free with 'littering' citations when it comes to that subject.
Late June is still prime tick season, and the Nicolet is no exception (deer ticks, the prime carriers of Lyme, are prevalent).
Sawyer brand permethrin, sold in the camping section at Walmart, works fantastic as a repellant.
