Wanaki campground in the Chippewa National Forest

This is one of several distinct campgrounds located within the Chippewa National Forest, and is located on the east side of Cass Lake. Entrance is through the main entrance at the Norway Beach Forest Service Recreation Area access. This campground is geared towards tent campers and is in a more secluded part if the Recreation area. Many of the sites are right on the water, which means you can put in a boat at the main boat landing and then travel by water to your campsite. The water sites also have nice sandy beaches...however, zebra mussels have been recently found in Cass Lake, and I did indeed find a few on the beach here, which is disappointing. This campground is the farthest from the main visitor center, picnic grounds, boat landing and official beach, which could be either a plus or a minus for you, depending on how secluded and off the beaten path you would like to be. These camp amenities arent too far to drive or even bike, though. Potable water is available here, but you are a good 15 minute drive to town for groceries and supplies, and there is no campground store on site, so be prepared. This campground will be if interest to folks who want to fish on Cass Lake or just relax along shore under the big pines, but if I had a choice I would prefer the Forest Service campground at Pike Bay on the south side if Cass Lake, as that campground is smaller and quieter and has bigger campsites
