Visitors can find recreation opportunities year-round, including exploring the famous Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.

Super cute remote little camp site. We visited during a week day (Thursday in June). We especially loved the access to the lake, also the vault toilets were spotless. I would definitely recommend bug spray to anyone visiting, the mosquitos and flies were abundant.

Looking for a quiet place to get away and unplug? This is the place for you. Very well kept, clean campground. Camp hosts were helpful and kind. Lake was clean and we even caught a couple walleyes.

  • Please Note: One RV with tow vehicle per single site or one vehicle per tent site. Most sites can accommodate 1 extra vehicle that is not included with the reservation fee. Extra vehicle will be charged a per night fee and collected at the campground.

This fee is retained by the reservation service contractor along with the non-refundable reservation fee. All requests for the return of the non-refundable reservation fee and the cancellation fee will be declined by the campground concessionaire as they did not receive these fees (these are the fees retained by the reservation contractor, a different entity).
  • Don't move firewood: To limit the spread of invasive tree-killing pests, firewood from outside the area is not permitted. Some states have quarantines and may confiscate your firewood. Please help protect our forests from invasive species by obtaining your firewood at or near your camping destination and burning it on-site. Visit dontmovefirewood.org for more information.
