Sawbill Lake Campground offers spacious, clean sites and a beautiful setting, making it a favorite among campers. The staff is consistently praised for their friendliness and helpfulness, while the nearby outfitter provides convenient access to gear and supplies. Although some sites are not directly on the lake and noise disturbances have been reported, the campground remains a peaceful and enjoyable destination for outdoor enthusiasts.

Campground is in excellent condition, pit toilets were clean and well-stocked, nearby outfitter’s store has everything we could possibly need (or want!). Swam, paddled, and fished to our hearts’ content.

It is always glorious to be surrounded by nature, Sawbill provides that. Plenty of places to walk/hike as well as the endless water to canoe on. Outfitters are always helpful, the place is clean, and people are respectful of other campers. We have been coming up twice a year for a while now, it’s my favorite place.

We reserved the site for one night use before setting out on a 6-day trek into the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. The campground is right on the lake, though out site was not lakeside. The sites are well spaced, so you don't feel crowded. The facilities, latrines, etc., are primitive, but appear to be well maintained. Our experience was just what we needed to start our wilderness adventure.

Campsite was very clean and maintained. Bathrooms were cleaned everyday. People observed the noise restrictions. It was a wonderful place for a family vacation and we will be returning every year!

Sawbill is a great place to camp. We enjoy the entry to the BWCA and the Sawbill Outfitter.
