Camp Ambush Shawano Lake

About this shack

Sweet Sunrises, Tight Lines & Shawano Lake Sunsets

There’s something special about a day on Shawano Lake: the first light spreading across the ice, a rattle reel breaking the quiet, and nowhere you need to be except right there.

Camp Ambush puts you in the middle of that experience. Located on Wisconsin’s famous Shawano Lake in the Town of Washington, this 6.5′ × 10′ Ambush Slayer skid house combines a lightweight design with a warm, comfortable place to settle in and fish.

Shawano Lake has a longstanding ice-fishing tradition, with northern pike and panfish drawing anglers onto its frozen waters winter after winter. Camp Ambush is set up for multispecies fishing—whether you love working a jig, watching for a flag, or introducing someone new to life on the hardwater.

And the views? Bring your camera. From soft morning colors to fiery sunsets stretching across the open lake, the fishing isn’t the only thing worth coming for.
