It is near MN State Highway 46, also known as Avenue of the Pines Scenic Byway, in the heart of the Chippewa National Forest. Visitors come to the area for boating, excellent fishing, and beautiful scenery. The Chippewa National Forest and the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe work together to co-steward resources - making the Forest a great place to recreate as well as a special place where cultural and traditional resources are protected and preserved and the Bands treaty rights are respected.

Boating and swimming are popular activities on Little Cut Foot Sioux Lake. Fishing during Minnesota's season opener is historically very good. An accessible fishing dock and fish cleaning station are located on-site. A wooden fishing pier with a few boat slips are located at the water's edge. There is a picnic site located at the water's edge with two picnic tables and an open grassy area overlooking the lake.

Very Popular and Access to Lake

We went on a busy weekend, but the campground itself was in good shape and had several options for individuals who want to tent camp or RV camp. This is the best campground in the area in my opinion as it offers a lot. The hosts were great and very welcoming. The electric sites are not on the water which is fine. Sites are big and offer some privacy. The sites on the water are a little smaller, but that is the price you pay to have the ability to doc your boat at your site. Mostly RVs in the campground but you can easily tent camp and get some peace. It is a popular destination bc of its proximity to other lakes.

Beautiful place

Very nice Forest Service campground.  Nicely wooded and private.  We will try to visit again and get a lakeside site.

Hidden Treasure

A lovely shaded site with plenty of trees to string a hammock. The lake is great for swimming and fishing. Quiet hours are observed. A short hike through the woods will bring you to a tiny convenience store with pretty much anything available that you might have forgotten. Potable water is available throughout and the vault toilets are cleaned daily by the camp host.
