Winnie Dam campground is the place to stay. Camp hosts are welcoming and friendly. The campground is well kept and the park down by the dam is great for the little ones as well as the adults. Will be going back for sure.
Happy camping everyone!!

Very nice clean bathrooms and showers (2). Nice shaded sites. The water is not visible from your sites, but we knew that. I would recommend staying there.

Nice small quiet campground, clean showers. We had rain all week. We came to bike ride, I thought there were trails closer, but we had to drive 25 miles to Cass Lake to the Migizi Trail. We could have also take a ride on the Heartland trail out of Cass Lake to Walker but the weather wasn't cooperating. If you wanted to fish, I would highly recommend this campground. A little tight at the Dump Station but water pressure was good and you didn't have to drag out your own hoses.
