This dispersed camping area sits along the Sturgeon River within Pine Island State Forest, accessible via forest roads that require careful navigation. The primitive sites provide direct river access for paddlers and anglers targeting northern pike and walleye in these waters. Campers should prepare for basic conditions with no developed facilities or services.
The forest setting offers year-round access, though spring conditions can make roads challenging. For those wanting more amenities, Pine Island State Forest Benn Linn Landing Campsite provides similar river access with additional facilities just north of this location.
