Reservations are available at this small drive-in campground in Melstrand, managed by the MIDNR Forest Resources Division within Shingleton State Forest Area. Sites sit directly on Cusino Lake, making waterfront access straightforward for swimmers and paddlers. A hand pump provides water on-site, though treating or filtering before drinking is advisable. The handful of sites are positioned close together, so campers who prefer more separation between neighbors should note that before booking. RVs are limited to 20 feet. Loons are audible after dark. Nearby, Canoe Lake State Forest Campground and Ross Lake State Forest Campground offer similar rustic lake access if this one fills up.
