FREE rustic camping at Pioneer Park in Ogema, Price County, north-central Wisconsin -- please DROP A DONATION in the box at the kiosk as you enter (the park runs on it). Wisconsin's own state tourism site lists it as 'no fee required, no reservations, first come first served,' with room for about seven units (tents, trailers, RVs). It sits at the Highway 13 / Highway 86 junction on the edge of town, right on the 26-mile Pine Line Rail Trail, and has flush toilets, a shelter/pavilion, fire rings, and a playground; it's equestrian-friendly with a horse hitching post. This is the honest camp-free (pay the donation), shop-and-eat-local deal that pulls travelers off Hwy 13 into town. Please confirm the current rules (any night limit, hookups) with the park (715-767-5586) before you rely on it, leave a donation, and leave the site better than you found it.

How it was placed
Source: Travel Wisconsin -- the STATE's own tourism site -- travelwisconsin.com/stay/campgrounds-rv-parks/pioneer-park-campground (read 2026-07-27): 'no fee required' + 'no reservations - first come, first served' + 'an open area large enough for seven camping units.' Corroborated by The Dyrt / Campendium (read 2026-07-27): 'no fee required and no reservations ... they do have a donation box at the kiosk when entering the camping area' (7 units, flush toilets, shelter/pavilion, on the 26-mi Pine Line Rail Trail, at the Hwy-13/Hwy-86 junction into Ogema; 715-767-5586). Coordinate 45.443089,-90.289776 = interior centroid of OSM way/958338776 'Pioneer Park & Campground' tourism=camp_site fee=no addr:city=Ogema (20-node polygon, api.openstreetmap.org, read 2026-07-27). Nominatim reverse -> Ogema, Price County, WI. fee=0 (donation requested), dispersed=0, camp_type NULL, water='yes' (flush toilets/park water), status pending.
