Swan Lake Campsites

This location was beautiful, the lake in the morning made everything feel so still and quiet. A great site for a service free, relaxing weekend or longer. The site didn't have the best place for the pop up camper, but we made it work for the area. Anything larger would be much more difficult. Campsite, bathroom, and fireplace were clean and in good condition.

Great, fun,nice spoct

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 quiet time with kayaking and dinners

It rained on and off but sunny days peaked through intermittently. but always a great place

Didn’t go to Swan Lake Campsite. Went to Swan Lake Campground in MT which was excellent. Waiting to see if I get a refund

A beautiful, large site that's easy to find with well marked roads

Great site. Next to the boat ramp. Seems like they cleared a few trees after recent weather. Not really an even site but there is room between the site and the boat ramp where maybe you could be more level. BIG NOTE google maps took me down a road where the bridge is out for construction. Go the route where the other three sites have road access. The other way will probably be blocked until 2024.

Nice swimming access, warm water. Our dog loved it! The fire pit is a plus- my fiance had a fire going all the time. Easy to drive to this location. Pit toilet is also nice. Flat area to set up tent. Good amount of mosquitoes so bring repellent. It's plenty private from sites 3 and 4 but we also enjoyed talking to some of the other campers. We are already planning our next trip back here!

I stayed at Site 1, which is isolated from the other three sites. Very quiet and peaceful. Swan Lake is one of the prettier little lakes in the Hiawatha Forest. Sites 2,3, and 4 are also very nice, #2 has plenty of shade. All the sites have easy access for canoes or kayaks, and site 1 is near a boat launch. I will definitely return.

There was logging going on around the campsite and the access road was impassable.
