About Cadotte Lake
Cadotte Lake Campground lines the western shore of Cadotte Lake in Superior National Forest. A boat ramp and fishing dock make the campground convenient for anglers, and the sandy swimming beach is popular among families.
Superior National Forest, located in northeastern Minnesota's arrowhead region, is comprised of 3 million acres. The forest spans 150 mi along the United States-Canada border. Visitors can find recreation opportunities year-round, including exploring the famous Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.

The campground host was amazing and went above and beyond to fix a hiccup I encountered upon my arrival.

Campground was pretty unkempt. The grasses in the picnic area at the beach were hip high. Campers were weed whipping their own campsites to have space to camp. There was no camp host so we couldn’t buy firewood. There was calf high water between our site and the lake that was breeding mosquitos like crazy. Went home a day early because the bugs were so bad.

Simple, Quiet and Peaceful. What more could you want? Lake and waters are high due to flooding this year but the mosquitoes weren't horrible. Bathrooms were clean and sites well tended. We love this gem of the Superior NF and will be back!

While the campground itself was beautiful we were slightly dissapointed as our walkway to the lake from our site was long grass and very muddy so was inaccessible but could have been from the amount of rain we recently got overall beautiful site with no cell phone reception 😀

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.
