TravelerTucked just far enough away.
Only 5 sites at this campground. When I reserved through the NF website, they didn’t even have an accurate map to display how the sites were laid out.
Sites 1, 2 and 3 are all decently spaced apart. Sites 4 and 5 are seemingly connected for double reservations.
Plenty of trees for hammocks and level ground for tents. Fire rings with griddle on each site.
There is no running water or shower house. Bring your own TP for the outhouse.
All sites sit along the lake with easy access to the water. Not a great lake for swimming as the bottom is very muddy and mucky.
Tucked just far enough away from the nearest “town”, Steuben- which only has about 8 homes along the road. Steuben is nice place to drive through and has a small convenience store. Prices are a little expensive, but take into consideration the desolate location.
Great campground and one of my favorites in this section of The Hiawatha National Forest.
