The lake is spring fed with all sandy beach all around with plenty of area's to have family time and relax. We love this beach everytime we go up north.

The staff was friendly, the bathrooms were clean, and the location was great. We liked having…read moreaccess to the lake, but were bummed that we had to cross the street to get to the pier. The sites are super tiny and not at all private. We came during the week in June, so it wasn't super packed and we had empty sites on either side of us. If it had been busier our experience would have been much different. We're spoiled by the private campgrounds that we visited in Door County. This one is very much not that. However, everyone was nice and we were fortunate enough to have had a decent enough time.

We had an excellent experience at Arbor Vitae Campground! They're location is perfect. You are just…read moreacross from a gorgeous lake, Plenty of places to go on nature walks, clean bathroom and shower facilities, just minutes from Minocqua with plenty to do. My favorite part was the sweet little Creek that runs from the lake through the campground. The kids played in the Creek while we would BBQ dinner each night. Everyone was very friendly and helpful! We will certainly be going back!

An update to my first posting. Holiday weekend and close of…read moresummer. Got that. Lots of family activities which are nice. We are quite taken back on how camping has changed over the years. MUCH more crowded MUCH closer to neighbors MUCH more expensive MUCH to many large trees with canopies that shade the sites AND provide ample amounts of tree sap on everything. WAY to many people making way to much noise without regard for neighbors. WAY to many people on a site. Rarely did anyone express a "hello" or any common civility. Camping sure isn't what it used to be..!

However we will not come back. We are Seniors and Thank gosh first 2 nights we had Quiet Peace. Come Friday we were ready to leave. Why on earth would a Campground have so many big rigs amongst the Popups, Tents practically on top of each other. The roads are not wide, curves everywhere. The trees need trimming big time. Into the night Campers driving in, lots of noise, car doors. If you want Peace and Quiet and Serene atmosphere "DON'T COME TO INDIAN SHORES" An Airstrip so close the planes are coming and going into the dark. Very Expensive and No Dump station. Lots of Improvements needed!!! Over 250 sites. DONE. DONE. DONE

DO NOT rent the campers they have for rentals. They are disgusting. Dirty, smelly, broken blinds,…read morebroken screens on the windows. You couldn't even sit in it for fear of what you may be sitting on. The outside of the camper was just as disgusting. I guess it never occurred to the campground owners to power wash it. I spent at least two hours cleaning and disinfecting the camper that we were told was new. Lies. If I was on this trip alone, I would have left immediately. Reluctantly I paid my bill - almost $200 a night! I still feel like disputing with my charge card company because we were lied to and taken advantage of. Not sure how they live with themselves renting this camper to people. When I went to the office to complain, they had the nerve to tell me it was cleaned. I am not an idiot.

The camp map needs a lot to be desired since the sited are placed among the trees. We stayed three nights and should have stayed longer. Boulder Junction 10 miles away and Walmart 17 miles away. Very very quiet at night. Highly recommend.

We stayed here for Six nights while we were in the area for a reunion with friends. We spent most…read moreof our time at our friends lake house, but we did get a little bit of time to walk around the campground and enjoy some of the Lakeside views. We opted to Moveto a full hookup sore which is further from the lake. The sites by the lake only have water and electric and we would've had to unhook and visit the dump station unfortunately so a full hook up site was way more convenient. We were insight 62 which is nice because it has a large grassy area. We paid $70/nite- I know they have better rates for longer stays We did have a picnic table and a fire pit and had a little bit of time to sit outside and enjoy it There is a really nice camp store and they do have some frozen items for warm-up along with s'mores and toys and shirts, and such Out in front of the office in store is a Beautiful lakefront area- they have Adirondack chairs sit here so you can avoid the views as well as as a beach with a swimming area although they do have assigned warning you that swimmers itch may be present- I had to look that one up since we're not from around here They also had a really nice basketball court and a bounce pad for the kids. This is definitely a family campground and many families were having gatherings while we were there. While I don't have any complaints for the campground. I will say that for all six nights we were here, not many people adhered to the quiet hours policy. We just turned the overhead fan on to douse out the noise as we didn't feel like disrupting anyone's family parties, but just be prepared for that. We did not use the laundry facilities or shower houses

With the new ownership of this campground, they appear to be going above and beyond to be sure their campground is updated. We chose this campground in 2015 and are so pleased that we did. The host is easy to work with but assures that all the campers are treated well and the owner continues to improve the campground. We love having the entire Chain O'Lakes at our disposal. The golf course is just down the road, so when we have guests they an golf also. Several of their docks are new and improved. Also, having the Tiki Bar so close offers food and a fun place to hang out if you just need something different. It was absolutely the right choice for us.

Absolutely terrible experience! My family reserved a campsite for Labor Day weekend, but we had to…read morecancel and contacted the campground at the beginning of July--well over a month in advance. We completely understand the no-refund policy if the site were to remain vacant, but that is not what happened. They re-rented our site to another family and still refused to refund us a single penny. In other words, they collected over $300 from us AND another $300 from the next family for the exact same site and dates. This is nothing short of dishonest and greedy. I could have accepted losing my money if the spot went unused, but profiting twice off the same campsite is unethical and unfair. I will NEVER visit this campground again and will warn everyone I know to avoid it.

It is 95% seasonals including many mobile homes. Owners are never around and seldom is anyone in or at the office. Upon checking out, they never asked how our stay was. The sites are all sand like a beach. In fact, there was more sand at our sites than at the beach which is very small. The lake is cute but when you're in the north woods, that's not hard to find. The shoreline (grass area) hasn't been mowed in weeks. The bathroom was disgusting- moldy and mildewy with mice and all. Yet you have to pay for showers? We showered in our camper and avoided the bathroom. Never once did we see anyone come clean it either. Quiet hour- no such thing here. People get loud after 10 and nobody cares.
