About
Day Lake is an electric motor-only lake located south of North Creek Road between Highways M and H in Vilas County.
There are two camp sites on this lake, approximately 150 yards apart. Each site has a tent pad large enough for two small tents and a picnic table. Open-air toilets are located nearby. The motor restriction and distance from a paved road make these sites quiet and isolated.
2 reservable boat-in campsites, reached by water only. In Northern Highland-American Legion State Forest.
Fees
Nightly rates vary by site and season and are shown when you pick a site on the reservation system; campers from outside Wisconsin pay $15 a night more; $9.30 reservation fee per booking. A vehicle admission pass is required: $13 a day ($16 with out-of-state plates) or $28 for 12 months ($50 out-of-state).
