Summary

There are no toilets, water, or hookups; campers must pack in/out everything. Some spots have primitive fire rings and flat areas for tents, with lakeside views and forested surroundings. RV access is limited due to rough roads. This remote, peaceful spot is ideal for solitude seekers and anglers, with nearby access to the Lost 40 Trail and North Star Lake. Expect dense pine and hardwood forest, wildlife sightings, and serenity. Best visited late spring through early fall for mild weather and accessible roads.

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.
