Birch Lake

Nice we place to get away from people. $17 per night, dry camping. Fire pits.

Birch Lake is Lake Wobegon personified. Fish, swim, canoe, jet ski, you name it. The campsite is located in the Burch State Forest with tons of trees around each site. There’s a fire ring, picnic table and water well located within walking distance. Very friendly and knowledgeable camp host. If you like a more primitive campsite you will like this!

I pulled in at like 11pm and went straight to find an open spot, which was pretty easy.

I had decent privacy but was in eye-shot ( through trees ) of 2 other occupied camps.

Registration is easy & self service. They have envelopes at the entrance you just fill out, so you can use any payment method including card if you’re comfortable with that.

I was only solo tent camping and got there way late & had to leave way early, so I can’t speak to much else.

Camped here on July 4th weekend. The lake sounded busy, but there were lots of spots available. There are several pit toilets, dumpsters, and water fill stations throughout. Sites are decent sized, but not pull through. Many connect with pathways if you’re in a group. $17 per site first come first serve self registration.

Nice quiet little campground

If you like quiet/off the beaten path sites, this one is awesome. Walk in sites as well as drive in. Great (but small) swimming beach, large lake with great fishing available. No hook ups and no dump station. Sites are spaced far enough apart to give you some privacy.

Was a fun, clean campground kids had fun fishing from the dock and enjoying the trails. The swimming beach was clean but was to cold to enjoy. The camp host was nice and helpful

We stay here every year over Memorial Day weekend. The campground is pretty nice for a rustic experience. Things were a little overgrown and could have been cleaned up a bit. The boat landing is really nice, lots of trails and a decent swimming area.

This campground has similar amenities to other state forests. We really enjoyed staying in the walk-in camp site. It gave us a lot of privacy for our dogs. The only complaint is it does tend to be a bit wet. There were hiking trails that we ended up turning around on because they got too swampy. The trails we were able to hike were beautiful.
