Notes
Campground Creek suffers from habitat degradation and low levels of dissolved oxygen due to suspended solids in the creek. Phosphorus and temperature listings were added in the 2018 cycle. This water is covered by the Upper Fox & Wolf River Basins TMDL, approved by the US EPA on February 27, 2020. New water quality data reviewed in the 2024 cycle indicated no additional pollutants.

Impaired Water Notes
All of the following keep most of the Campground Subwatershed Main Stem and tributaries from reaching their Use Potential:
1.) Sediment runoff and deposition (particularly in the Origin Subwatershed)
2.) Unnatural increases in temperature (Main Wetland Complex Subwatershed and Middle-Stem Subwatershed)
3.) Habitat degradation through ditching, peat mining, erosion from excess runoff and ditching, creation of connected enlargements
4.) Anoxic conditions and D.O. not meeting water quality standards (Main Wetland Complex Subwatershed and Middle-Stem Subwatershed) due to man-made degradation of the Main Wetland and ditching.
