Summary

No reservations or permits are required, and camping is free (outside the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness). There are no amenities: no toilets, water, fire rings, or picnic tables, and no RV hookups—primitive camping only. The experience is rugged and peaceful, surrounded by dense forest, with access to quiet lakes and remote trails like the Echo Trail and Bass Lake Trail nearby. Best visited from late spring to early fall, G19 is ideal for solitude-seeking campers comfortable with leave-no-trace, backcountry camping in a serene Northwoods setting.

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.
