Fourmile Lk Rustic Campground & Backcountry Sites

1 ReviewAdd Review

Fourmile Lake Rustic Campground sits on the shores of its namesake lake in the Superior National Forest, accessed by both drive-in and walk-in options. This USDA Forest Service site operates as a pack-in, pack-out facility with no running water, garbage pickup, or cell service. Each site includes a fire ring and picnic table, with a pit toilet positioned between the camping area and lake access.

Campers report steady traffic to the lake and frequent turnover during peak season. The campground serves as a base for exploring multiple lakes in the region, with Toohey Lake Rustic Campground less than a mile northeast. For additional options, see campgrounds around Tofte.

Exploring the North

Really nice free campsites on a beautiful lake, there are a lot more lakes in the area as well as more free campgrounds! Rustic camping, no cell service, garbage pickup, or running water. Pack out what you pack in! There’s an open pit toilet in a great location from the sites and lake; and each site has a fire ring and picnic table. There was a lot of traffic, to the lake and other campers coming in and out, during the two weeks we were there, that’s our only complaint, but who could we blame for coming to enjoy this beautiful place just like us? Definitely will be back in the area again, we’re going to check out Toohey Lake or Lake Harriet next trip. (Lake Harriet is known for the wild blueberries in the campground.)
