About
National Forest
Harriet Lake Rustic Campground is located at the site of an abandoned farm. The open land now hosts a variety of coneflowers and other plants not common in a boreal forest. It also provides opportunities for group picnicking. The lake itself is accessed by a boat ramp and dock and supports walleye, northern pike, and crappies.

TravelerMemorial weekend getaway
My sister and I spent two nights tent camping here at a site right on the water. We arrived around noon on Friday of memorial day weekend when about half of the sites were filled. Plenty of options depending on the size of your party and rigs. Lots of other lakes to explore in this area. Our favorite parts were the ample space between each site and that it was free. Plenty of room for dogs and kiddos to run around. We only wish we brought a canoe to take out on the lake for more exploring. It’s about 30 minutes from Finland off hwy 1.

ScoutPrivate sites
This is a great camping spot that gives each site plenty of elbow room. Some of the sites are a little hard to find, but they are there. There is plenty of space for campers or multiple tents at the majority of the sites at this campground. It also just up the road from the Trestle Inn, a great restaurant/bar in the woods!
