Fishing and water activities draw campers to this dispersed site positioned directly between a gravel access road and Lake Winnibigoshish. The campground accommodates RVs up to 20 feet and provides both drive-in and boat-in access to a sandy beach area with some mucky sections.
Two fire rings serve the site—one located on the beach and another near the tent pad, though reviewers note the tent pad runs small and uneven. The location offers limited cell service and sits close enough to the road that campers hear occasional traffic. October visitors report quieter conditions, while the immediate lakefront position provides direct water access for swimming and kayaking. Campers seeking additional options can explore places to camp near Deer River or check out Bowen Lodge less than a mile northwest.
