The Great Outdoors

Camping at Torch Lake Campground is a good base for exploring the Upper Bucktabon Springs State Natural Area, which features numerous softwater springs and ponds that drain into the Wisconsin River. The surrounding wetlands consist of shrubby shore fen, alder thicket, and northern sedge meadow. A network of trails wind through the natural area, and cross-country skiing is possible during the snowy winter months.Torch Lake Campground and RV Park is also on the doorstep of the Headwaters Wilderness, a 22,000-acre protected area within the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest. It encompasses the headwaters of the Pine River and large tracts of forested swampland, with some of the oldest and largest trees in the southwest Shelp Lake area. A series of primitive trails make it popular with adventurous hikers while Canada jays, boreal chickadees, and black-backed woodpeckers are among the regular bird sightings.Around an hour’s drive south of Torch Lake Campground is the Northern Highland American Legion State Forest, which encompasses more than 225,000 acres across three different counties. The Wisconsin, Flambeau, and Manitowish rivers all flow through its borders while several lakes dot the landscape. Aside from hiking and mountain biking, the Northern Highland American Legion State Forest is a popular fishing and boating destination, as well as being accessible to snowmobilers during the winter season. Hunting is permitted in designated areas, and Christmas trees are harvested here leading up to the festive season.

Exploring the City

Campsites at Torch Lake Campground and RV Park are just five minutes' drive from Conover where there’s a small supermarket if you need to stock up groceries. There’s also a gas station here if you need to fill up your RV rental and a handful of restaurants along the main highway.A 15-minute drive in the other direction, and you’ll arrive in the city of Eagle River, which has a wider choice of services, supermarkets, and restaurants. It was the first permanent Indian settlement in the Wisconsin Northwoods and is now a popular vacation and retirement destination, with condominiums and hunting cabins clustered in the city. Eagle River has been dubbed the “Snowmobile Capital of the World” as the location of the World Championship Snowmobile Derby, as well as being home to the Wisconsin Hockey Hall of Fame at Eagle River Stadium.If you’re traveling with the family, head to the Northwoods Children’s Museum to take advantage of its interactive exhibits. Get creative in the Art Center or hands-on with the science displays, then pick up a book to read in the treehouse. Also nearby is an amusement park that features an 18-hole adventure mini-golf course and a laser tag arena. The golf course is themed around a 1950's fishing camp, complete with its own bait shop, fishing dock, and cabin, not to mention waterfalls, lakes, and fountains. Alternatively, you can get your adrenaline pumping with a game of laser tag. The arena features a high-tech team or individual game set within a foggy wooded atmosphere.Just north of Eagle River’s city center, you can embark on a pirate-themed river tour to explore the connected lakes along the Eagle River Chain, with frequent wildlife sightings along the shores. Alternatively, you can grab an ice cream or just soak up the sights across Duck Lake from the bar where live music performances regularly take place before browsing the pirate-themed apparel and accessories at the on-site gift shop.Whether you want to explore the natural reserves of northern Wisconsin or discover the family-friendly attractions of Eagle River, book an RV rental in Vilas County and start planning your next vacation.

Questions about RVs?

Q.

What type of RV should I choose?

A.

Start by determining how many people are planning to travel with you. Going on a solo-journey? Choose a camper van or a teardrop trailer. Bringing the whole family along for the ride? Consider a spacious Class A or five-wheel.

You’ll also want to consider amenities. For example, if you’re planning to cook on the road, you’ll want a kitchenette. If your campground doesn’t have public restrooms, you’ll want to search RVs with bathrooms. Check out full descriptions of our models to help you decide here.


Q.

Do the RVs have bathrooms?

A.

Yes. Class A’s, Class B’s, and Class C’s and five-Wheels typically have bathrooms. Depending on where you plan on camping, you’ll want to double-check the availability of restrooms if selecting a rig without a bathroom. Nervous about renting an RV with a bathroom? Owners can help show you how to clean the tank or will offer to do it for you for a fee.


Q.

How does check-in work?

A.

Once an Owner approves your RV reservation, you can coordinate a time to pick up your rig or have it delivered to your doorstep or campsite. At that point, the owner will do a key exchange with you and walk you through the RV and answer any questions you might have.
