A great overnight stop for canoe/kayak trips

It is true that you can reach this campground by road, but it's an even greater experience if you access it by canoe/kayak via the Mississippi River. There are plenty of access locations to carry-in/carry-out (see map: http://files.dnr.state.mn.us/maps/state_forests/sft00034.pdf). Make sure to know what the riverbank near the campground looks like though, or you might paddle past it. (See photo).

There are fire pits at the campground, but no other facilities, given the remoteness of the location. So bring your own water and "toilet supplies."

Its a beautiful location, and usually a private experience - we've always been the only camping party at the campground.
