About the campground

A grounded place to pause

East Lake Arbutus Campground sits along the quiet shores of East Lake Arbutus, just outside Merrillan in northwestern Wisconsin. It is a working campground — not a resort, not a theme park. Just a well-kept stretch of ground where you can park your rig, pitch your tent, and let the pace slow down.

Whether you are passing through on a road trip, returning for a weekend of fishing, or looking for a regular spot to Unplug, this is a place that does not try to be anything other than what it is: a good, honest campground on the water.

What is here

Amenities & Site Options

RV Sites

Pull-through and back-in sites accommodating a range of rig sizes. Clear access, level ground, and room to spread out.

Tent Sites

Designated tent spots among the trees, close enough to the lake to fall asleep to the sound of water lapping at the shore.

Potable Water

Clean drinking water available on-site. No need to stock extra — fill up your containers and move on.

Lake Access

Direct access to East Lake Arbutus for fishing, kayaking, or simply sitting by the water with a morning coffee.

Quiet Atmosphere

No loud music, no late-night crowds. This is a place for people who come to rest, not to be entertained.

Year-Round Access

The road is maintained through all seasons. Spring wildflowers, summer green, fall color, winter silence — come whenever calls to you.

The experience

What a stay here actually feels like

01

Wake to still water

No alarm clock needed. The sun comes up slowly over the lake, and the only sound is wind moving through the pines.

02

Unplug without trying

There is no Wi-Fi to check, no TV to default to. Your phone dies by afternoon and you stop noticing.

03

Come back to the same quiet

Whether it is your first visit or your tenth, the campground does not change in ways that matter. It stays exactly what you need it to be.
