Crescent Lake offers a beautiful and well-maintained campground with clean facilities, friendly hosts, and a serene environment ideal for outdoor activities like fishing and boating. Many reviewers appreciated the tidy, private campsites and the helpfulness of the camp host, Jack, and his dog Reggie. While there were some concerns about certain campsite conditions and additional fees for extra vehicles, the overall experience is highly rated, with many campers eager to return.

I had a reservation for a BWCAW entry permit at Brule Lake on July 21, 2020. Driving from Des Moines, IA, I needed a Covid-safe camp ground for the evening of July 20. My walk-in site at Crescent Lake was close to Brule, convenient, and excellent.

Always a beautiful campground and site. Campground permanent resident (forget his title) Jack was very helpful—busted out an air inflator to pump up a low tire and saved the day.

The campground is great!! We stumbled upon this campground a couple years ago and will make it an annual trip. The campground is quiet and peaceful, and the campsites and bathrooms are incredibly clean!! The site we stayed at (26) is right on the lake and it has an excellent view!! The campsite is on a slight slant, which made set up a little more challenging. Our picnic table and stove was at a constant slope, so make sure to bring some boards shimming. Overall, it was a great experience, and would encourage anyone to stay there!!
