Woodenfrog Campground
About
State Park
The campground is considered "primitive," designed to furnish only the basic needs of the camper. The campsites consist of a cleared area, fire ring, and table. In addition, vault toilets, garbage cans, and drinking water are available. There are only individual campsites available. Campsites are spacious throughout, so the deciding factors are privacy and proximity to the lake.
All sites are on a first-come, first-served basis.
Highlights: Woodenfrog State Campground and Day- Use Area is beautiful and rustic with a great swimming beach, boat ramp, and an old CCC building used for interpretive talks on a regular basis.
The day-use area is located on a pine-covered shoreline, can accommodate large groups, and offers quiet, private sites for smaller groups.

Another Great State Forest Campground
This campground is located just outside Voyageurs National Park on Lake Kabatoga. This is a primitive campground with pit toilets and water. Sites are mostly private with some having a view of the lake. Since most of Voyageurs is a water based park this is a great choice is you done have a boat. A lot of mosquitoes in July.
Great minimal state forest campground
Firstly know that wooden frog is a pretty minimal campground. It is a very typical state forest campground but there are a few sites in the back of the loop (38, 36, 33) that are really nice with lake views and little paths to the water. All sites have a picnic table and a fire ring. Some are not very level and some are TINY so choose carefully. 17$/night. Put toilets and water are available as well. Great jump off point for getting on the water in Voyageur. Several canoe/kayak rental places in the area as well. Lots of deer around, walking right thru our site.
