The campground host is a nice, friendly guy who keeps the place in nice shape. It’s nice to paddle the length of Fenske and then go into little Sletten Lake and farther on.

My friends and I loved our visit! Clean, private campsite. Easy access to lake and fishing pier. Firepit and picnic table were clean and in great condition. All-around great experience and we will be back!
