Our Happy Place for over 30 years

I started camping a Beaver Lake as a Forest Service volunteer back in the late 1980s and have done so every year, even while working as a ranger for another agency, ever since. Usually quiet, clean, and very well maintained, to my wife and I Beaver Lake's biggest asset is that it is completely off the grid; no cell service, no electric, nothing (except baying hounds in the distance during bear hunting season) to disturb the peace and quiet. Trout fishing in the lake and nearby streams, canoeing/boating/paddleboarding, hiking (there's a spur trail leading to the North Country National Scenic Trail), and relaxing. It's a place we go to to seriously get away from it all and disconnect. Drives our daughter and her family crazy to be without cell service! But hey, we get away from it all NOT to bring it all with us. #5 and 7 are the nicest reservable sites, 1 and 3 the best open sites. Tall pines abound, loons on the lake, Northern Lights in the sky. What's not to love? PS: BYO firewood from Mellen, Clam Lake, or Grand View. No hosts, and the other two campgrounds in the area are closed.
