Mowe Lake Campsites

Please keep this site as is! It is beautiful and private. Truly

On the lookout for my Hiawatha National forest passport stamp I stopped in here since we were nearby. I love going to all the random national park and forest offices, especially the quiet ones like these because the rangers are always so kind and helpful. While they didn’t have stamps (I doubt they get many walk ins, haha) they were so nice and gave my son tons of Smokey swag and gave us hiking tips. They were going to get some park stamps from another office so if you’re in the area they might have the stamps now! They have water refills and bathrooms too plus tons of materials and trail maps. I think I prefer these national forest offices to the bigger national park ones because the rangers have more time to talk. Make sure to support our parks and forests!! Thank you to the rangers working there and at all the forests. I always enjoy the time I spend in the ranger offices.

We had a very nice stay at Mowe, when we arrived we were happy to have wood waiting for us-thank you to whoever left it! The lake was full of fish and the guys caught lots of bluegill. There were beavers, an eagle and many turtles that kept us company. They are logging the area right now so there’s a low hum of activity across the lake.

Go camping for the quite. It wasn't quite at all. Logging operations going on made it very hard to enjoy will all the noise until some night 8:00. The road coming into the campsite was almost impossible to get down with my camper. It would also be nice if two signs could be put up one on each end of the camping sites to slow down the traffic so it wasn't so dusty. Because of the Logging operations they would drive by then come back by to stay away from the loggers mess. I sure hope they fix up the road before they leave. It sure would be nice if they could keep it i better shape while they are there. I have stayed there for years now and this was the worst stay we have ever had. Thanks.

Bugs not bad- outhouse clean

Very nice, well-oriented site on pristine lake. Easy yak put in, decent swimming. Relatively close store (5-6 miles?) for ice. No voice cell service, occasionally text could sneak through. Final road adequate for our 20 foot trailer, much longer might be problematic due to big dips and tree proximity.

We love the campsite and the lake. A good swimming area is a real plus. Just wish it wasn’t on a lightly used trail that bring a few off road vehicles thru the campsite.

Boat launch is absolutely awful! Someone can roll an ankle going down to water! And there is no way kids can walk d it a to water without shoes! There are holes where rocks should be and someone is going g to get hurt! Also bathroom needs cleaning

Beautiful quiet lake.
