Summary

No reservations or permits required. Amenities are minimal: vault toilets are available; no potable water, hookups, or trash service—pack in, pack out. Sites have fire rings and picnic tables. The area is lightly forested, quiet, and suited for tent and small RV camping (no hookups). It’s near the scenic Fenske Lake and close to hiking trails like Bass Lake Trail. Best visited late spring through fall for mild weather and fewer bugs. Ideal for a peaceful, back-to-basics camping experience surrounded by Northwoods beauty.

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.
