Rock but why?

Nice campground on a small lake. Emergent vegetation appears late in year on lake. Which is a pain trying to navigate. Helps with fish populations. Get there early to find campsites.

Primitive and First Come First Serve

If you had a water site you did good. However, you have to get here before 10 am on Friday to ensure that of happening. The hosts were great but they said it fills up really quick. It is a smaller lake and if you have little kids you can catch a million Sunnys but not much past that. It is a nice area as we took our kayaks and explored some of the other lakes and enjoyed the short weekend here. Vault toilets are spread out and the boat access is simple. There is a small beach and at 15 people its full.

Great State Forest Camprground

I’ve stayed here twice. Nice variety of campsites. There are about 10 sites that are next to the water giving you access to fishing, swimming and docking a small watercraft. Most of the sites are surrounded by trees. Which is great for privacy. There are a few that are open with no trees between the sites. These are great for trailers and 5th wheels or a large group requiring multiple sites. There is a picnic/ day use area, swimming beach and boat launch. I caught a few bass and panfish both times I was there. There are water stations and vault toilets but no other amenities. Will definitely visit this place again.

Hidden gem for rustic camping!

This campground is really a hidden gem that i never knew about even though it is within an hour drive of my home. It is a rustic state forest campground with great campsites located in a gorgeous oak-birch-pine forest and right on a pretty lake. Although the campsites are karge enough to accomodate RVs, there are no hookups and no amenities like a bath house, so the campground favors tent campers. Many of the sites are right on the lake, including oarking space, tent pad, fire ring and picnic table, and each of these have a small lake access for swimming or launching a canoe or kayak. There is also a day use area with beach and boat launch, plus a nice nature trail. You can enjoy a quiet family weekend in the deep woods here, but still pop into the town of Pillager which is only 10 miles away. Well kept, quiet and peaceful

NOT for RV’s, great for tents!

This a rustic campground with no showers and vault toilets. some sites are open and next to each other. there are RV people who think that because it’s rustic that they can run their generators all day long. That sucks for us tenters who go camping for peace and quiet. some sites have lake access and there is a nice swimming beach with a boat launch. no reservations. first come first served.
