Known for world-class musky fishing, the Birkebeiner ski trail, and the famous Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame, Hayward draws a steady stream of RVers from spring through fall.

Highway 63 and Highway 27 bring you right into town, and the roads are well-suited for large rigs. The northwoods setting means you're surrounded by hundreds of lakes, rivers, and miles of forest trails -- making it easy to extend your stay for a week or more of fishing, hiking, and relaxing. Many RVers use Hayward as a base camp for exploring the broader Sawyer County area, including popular lakes like Lac Courte Oreilles, Round Lake, and the Namekagon River system. If you're boondocking on nearby forest land or dry camping at one of the area's many lakeside spots, you'll appreciate having reliable sanitary dump station access close by. The community here is accustomed to RV traffic and the local businesses cater to campers with everything from bait shops to laundromats. During peak summer months, the dump stations can see moderate to heavy traffic on weekend mornings, so planning your visit for a weekday or early in the day is a smart move.

Hayward's sanitary dump station facilities can get busy during the musky fishing opener in May and Birkebeiner events in February.
