Crescent Lake (MN)

Absolutely gorgeous campground! We stayed at campsite #26 & would do so again. Right on the lake, nice tree coverage, easy to put tarp up over picnic table. Beautiful island view & loons came right up along the water by our site. In spite of 31 of 33 sites occupied over the July 4th weekend, it was so quiet!

Camp host is great, too! Super nice guy - and helpful. Someone was in our site when we arrived - they should’ve been out at least an hour prior. We showed up from our 6 hour drive ready to get our tent up, etc. We politely let them know the site was ours. Instead of apologizing, the guy starts yelling at us. At which point we left because he was clearly a lose cannon. Had planned on just staying away for 30 minutes, but camp host drove by in golf cart & we mentioned what was going on. He said he’d make sure the guy wasn’t taking his time. It was a surprising way to start things out (the man with anger issues), but we were thankful to have the assistance of the camo host. Camp host was just a pleasant, easy-going, & nice man.

Beautiful lake, great campsites and well maintained toilets.

Good Fishing

We camped in a tent at site 26. The site has become very eroded from neglect. It would be really helpful if a load or two of pea size rock was dropped off and spread throughout the site. The roots of trees have become trip hazards all over. Otherwise, camping in US Forest campgrounds is the best! The camp host was excellent in ensuring things we’re going smoothly. The out houses are kept immaculate, and they never stink from sewage because of the way they are designed.

Jack and his dog Reggie are great hosts. Attentive, kind, and helpful. It's a beautiful lake and extremely remote. The silence is deafening! With exception of the frequent loon songs! We will be back, I miss it already.

Secluded campsites are nice. A hike to water supply

The campsite was perfect with a good amount of privacy with our own trail right to water! The host was extremely kind and welcoming, would definitely stay there again!

Excellent option near the boundary waters. Very clean facilities and friendly & helpful host.

We stayed here the night before a 4-day BWCA trip.

Site 26 was amazing! Plenty of space for 2-3 tents. The site is right on the lake with plenty of shore line to fish and swim. Caught a few little smallmouth on Ned rigs and flicker minnow and caught a decent sized pike on a rattling rap. Supposed to be a good walleye lake as well. The host is a great guy with a very friendly dog. Highly recommend this site.
