Woodenfrog Campground

$18 to camp. Most of the campsites are not on the lake, but are still very nice.

Wooden Frog Campground in the Kabetogama State Forest near Kabetogama, MN.

We did a drive thru- we were staying elsewhere.

So, there's A LOT of camping resorts in this area. If you like it primitive- the Wooden Frog is the place! 

There's 61 non electric sites tucked into the woods. 2 accessible. The road thru the campground is gravelly dirt. There's a lakeview at sites 2/3. Possibly at 34/36, but I didn't note that. 

7 pit toilets. 2 water access. 2 docks for camper use.

$17 a night. I'm not sure if you can reserve. Go on the Minnesota DNR page for a map.

 Appropriate for tents & small RVs/ truck campers, ect. This is also a day use area with a pier & swimming. There's a picnic shelter also. Hiking in the area.

Woody campground with large, well-spaced sites perfect for tents or RVs. There's convenient overnight parking for boaters and easy lake access. Fishing was excellent, and the nearby historical site added a fun and educational touch to our trip. Clean facilities and peaceful surroundings—highly recommend!

No showers. Outhouses and potable water spickets throughout the campground. All sites are offered on a first come first served basis and the entrance has envelopes to pay by check or you can pay online at your arrival. Sites that are occupied will have a small white card clipped to the site number marker sign, just pick an open one, pay, and fill our your place holder card. Fire ring and picnic table at each site. Most were flat, but some were a little hilly. Might be harder to navigate the roads in the campground and back in if you have a larger rig. Very close to voyageurs visitor centers and local boat rental places.

Stayed here for 2 nights after season in early October. There were plenty of spots and the vault toilets are clean and accessible. There are multiple trails and some beautiful vistas. The water was turned off for the season but there were multiple access points for the time of year when it is turned on. It’s quite close to the southern visitor centers of voyageurs, about 1 hour from rainy lake visitor center. Very easily accessible. As a solo female traveler I felt very safe. Definitely would recommend. No other facilities available other than vault toilets though so come prepared to not shower!

Camped here Oct 18-19, 2023 at site 43. Large primitive state forest campground. There were very few campers here during our stay. Our site, as well as others, was large and wooded. Spacing and privacy between sites were quite good. The site was level with a dirt/gravel surface. Site had metal fire ring and table. A nice patch of woods behind our site. Clean vault toilet a short walk away. Short trail to lake and boat dock nearby. Did not see a camp host. Hiking trail along lake was really nice. Really loved camping here.

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.

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.

This site is a bit out of the way and private, though a bit of a walk to water and toilet. It has a BEAUTIFUL mossy area behind the campsite that was great to explore with my 8 yo.

This is a primitive campsite nestled into the boreal forest of Voyageurs NP. Great spacing and a lot of privacy. It is June and at most there are 15 campsites occupied. Mother nature also does a wonderful job with landscape architecture as usual. There are potable water sources and vault toilets(outhouses) conveniently dispersed throughout the campground– nice touch. The sites themselves have not been well maintained. They are definitely on the rustic side! 

I managed to find one(#58) with a view to the northern sky so I could use Starlink. There is also a 3-bar Verizon LTE signal– surprising. As a full-timer, these things are important. There is convenient access to water and a boat ramp in the day use area. There is a lot of damage from floods some weeks ago and some of the roads and sites are not accessible. In general, it does not appear that the state puts much effort into maintenance and repair of this gem.  There was no dumpsite :-(

Fantastic location with a calm to it. Due to substantial flooding in the area as well as being con the cold side but the campground was fairly empty with maybe 10 other individuals camping. Our campsite was right next to the lake where we were able to walk down and lunch our kayaks. Loved the quietness of this location.

This state forest campground was almost empty when I rolled in!

It had several spots to launch a kayak right from the campground and also a boat launch just a quick drive away.

The quiet and peaceful nature was just what I was looking for and I loved getting two paddles in during my stay!

Woodenfrog is located along the shoreline of Lake Kabetogama - part of Voyageurs National Park. The sites all seemed to be nestled nicely into their own nooks among the trees. We were the only campers in the entire campground when we started in late April. The trail along the lake was nice, fire ring was perfect for cooking and the “locals” (squirrel & deer)  were friendly.

We found Woodefrog State Forest Campground to be a perfect spot to enjoy Voyageurs National Park. We easily snagged a campsite next to Lake Kabetogama, kayaked, hiked, and enjoyed listening to the loons. We had sunlight for our solar and plenty of room.

The campground was quiet. There was a short hiking trail near the lake. The spots were fairly level but there's variability.

We stayed for 1 night on a site that had a short trail to the lake. The sites were private with lots of trees and wildlife. I could here our neighbors generator but as a tent camper we are used to it. They did respect the quiet hours.
I would camp here again. Kind people and cool sites.

No prior reservations taken here, but easily found a spot on a Thursday afternoon in late August. Good privacy between sites, trees everywhere. Water was available and seemed to be just fine. 

Primitive site, so fire ring, picnic table, vault toilets, trash cans provided. Also a nice day use area boat dock right on Lake Kabetogama with plenty of parking for your boat trailer.

No showers but that’s ok this site is just a shirt row away from Voyageurs national park islands. Boat docks available. Private sites and great views

This is one of the most beautiful and peaceful campgrounds in Northern Minnesota. This is my go to campground when I need to be nestled into nature. The campsites are well kept and there is a general store for all your needs about 5 minutes away. The northern night sky is breath taking especially when the northern lights are dancing. Woodenfrog is a pet friendly campground. Highly recommend camping here. Rates are about $14 a night

Campground was amazing, plenty of room, plenty shade, pet friendly, just too many of that other Minnesota state bird called the mosquito. $14 a day is great, first come first served. Only 4 stars due to the unbelievable amount of mosquitoes, was eaten alive!

The sites are very big and private. There is beach and dock access and the lake itself is beautiful. My hubby caught a bunch of fish and we had a nice, relaxing time. We stayed in site 4, which was fantastic because it was nice and shady all day.

This is really the only car-camping campground at/near Voyageurs National Park. It's relatively large and on the shore of Lake Kabetogama. The sites that overlook the lake are spaced fairly close together, and really only have lake views. There is a common trail between sites to provide lake access. (We got leeches when we waded in at the dock, yuck!). The sites away from the lake are very spread out and very private. We had a site in the southwest corner of the campground and we were nearly 0.10 miles from the next campsite. Very private! Bathrooms were clean and the swimming beach was nice.
