Summary

It’s first-come, first-served and remote, so no toilets, water, or hookups; campers must pack in/out everything. Expect fire rings at some sites, but no picnic tables. The area is forested and peaceful, ideal for solitude and wildlife watching. Nearby, the Suomi Hills Trail offers scenic hiking and mountain biking. Access is by gravel road, suitable for tents and small RVs (no hookups). Best visited late spring through fall for mild temps and fewer bugs. A great option for self-sufficient campers seeking a rustic Northwoods experience.

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.
