Summary
No reservations or permits are required, and there are no fees. Amenities are minimal: vault toilets are available, but there's no drinking water, hookups, or trash service—pack in and out. Each site has a fire ring and picnic table. Nestled in a dense pine forest near the Mississippi River headwaters, it’s ideal for those seeking solitude and access to nearby hiking, paddling, and wildlife viewing. Best visited May–October, the campground welcomes tents and small RVs (no hookups).

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.
