Chippewa National Forest's Wanaki Campground sits near Cass Lake, Minnesota, operated by the US Forest Service with a season running late May through early September. Sites are wooded between them and spacious enough to feel reasonably private, with drive-in access accommodating RVs up to 60 feet. Reservations are available, though a handful of first-come, first-served sites exist for those without one. Amenities include drinking water, showers, flush toilets, a dump station, and firewood for purchase. Recent visitors noted that not all bathrooms and showers were open during peak season, so campers should plan accordingly. The campground works well as a base for camping near Chippewa National Forest, and nearby trail access makes it a practical stop for cyclists riding the Migizi and Paul Bunyan trails. Pets are welcome. Norway Beach - Wanaki Campground Loop is located about 0.2 miles southwest for campers wanting a nearby alternative.
