Anyone know of any good backpacking / primitive camping in Northern Wisconsin?

I would like to go backpacking and primitive camping in northern Wisconsin, anyone know of any good areas?

I used to live in Northern Wisconsin. If you want primitive, stay away from tourist towns like Minocqua, Bayfield and Hayward. The tourist brochures make them look rustic, but in the summer there are soooo many people, that traffic is ridiculous! Sometimes I felt like I was driving in downtown Chicago! Try going up toward the U.P. There are a ton of waterfalls. The northshore of Minnesota is awesome too. Some of my buddies used to go to places near Antigo for hunting/canoeing. Nicolet National forest ROCKS! There’s long stretches of wilderness and it can be pretty hilly too. In the spring, the roadsides are carpeted with Trilliums, sweet. I stayed at Pattison State Park’s campground once. Its not super rustic, but there are two waterfalls in the park and tons of hiking around the general area.
