What Guests Are Saying
Echo Lake offers a beautiful campground experience with clean facilities, friendly staff, and a great group campsite near bathrooms. While abundant mosquitoes can hinder outdoor enjoyment, the availability of kayaking and hiking trails provides alternative activities. Some maintenance improvements, such as road grading and campsite leveling, are needed, but overall, visitors appreciate the scenic environment and helpful resources available.

campsites need 12 inches of class 5 to level sites,and toilets need to be sucked out at least once a month. Camp host keeps everthing clean in bathrooms. Need to clear brush 3 inches and smaller all the way to the lake so you can see lake from campsites 14 ,16,

I've camped here a number of times without issue, this time there were several.
Biggest problem was the out of service water pump. We were not warned ahead of time that there wouldn't be water available. Luckily the camp host was nice enough to share some of his water with us.
My name and dates reserved were not on the campsite post. Only the name/dates for the next weekend were posted. A number of reserved sites say empty all weekend. Not sure if there was a mix up or a high amount of cancellation.
Our campsite wasn't cleaned out. I assume this was because my reservation wasn't on the post so the host didn't know it would be occupied. When he saw us he skipped over the site he was working on to partially clean up ours. This was also when we found out about the water situation.
Overall the only real problem for us was the water. There needs to be a warning online or emailed if it's out of service. Camp host was great given the situation.

Beautiful location just shy of Voyageurs national park. Plenty of space for our group of 16 people. Would stay here again.

Many sites are nicely spaced out - from site 005, you can really only see other camping spots from the road/entrance into 005, otherwise there is a lot of privacy. Level spots for tents, parking space, and each site also has a picnic table and fire ring. Bathrooms were clean and stocked. Road and sites didn't flood in heavy rain. Roads to and from site are gravel but well maintained. Didn't have any issue with ticks. Mosquitoes were terrible, but that's not unique to this campsite. Overall nice campground, reasonably priced during the week - would stay here again.

Great people with a lot.of heart and a lot of knowledge. Worth the stop to chat and find out some real hidden gems of the Northwoods. Great place to buy permits. They have clean flushing toilets. The gift shop is well stocked BUT ALSO they have a ton of USFS swag and info for free. Worth the stop.

Had a wonderful time, would come again. Nice shaded campsites. Clean campgound, host checked in to make sure we were doing ok. Logging activity nearby would be the only complaint as it was from sun up to sun down every day.
