Summary
There’s no potable water on-site, so bring your own. Camping is first-come, first-served—no reservations or permits needed—and fees are minimal (typically under $15/night). RVs are allowed, but there are no hookups. Nestled in a quiet, forested setting near Bear Head Lake State Park and the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, it provides a peaceful, rustic experience with nearby hiking and paddling opportunities. Best visited June–September for warmer weather and full trail access. The vibe is serene and secluded—perfect for nature lovers seeking solitude.

Camping Essential Practices
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.
