Last Updated: February 22, 2026

E16 camping area, located in Minnesota’s Superior National Forest, offers dispersed camping only—no established campsites—so no reservations or fees are required, but a free permit may be needed depending on location.


Summary

There are no toilets, water sources, picnic tables, or hookups, making this a primitive experience ideal for self-sufficient campers. Fire rings may be improvised; bring your own fire safety tools. Nestled in dense forest near the Isabella and Stony Rivers, it provides a peaceful, remote vibe with access to hiking, paddling, and wildlife viewing. Best visited late spring to early fall for mild weather and accessible trails. RV access is limited; high-clearance vehicles recommended.

Camping Essential Practices

Pack It In, Pack It Out
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
