Gulch Lake

Great views here! Stayed right next to the lake! Had easy access for kayaking and had a fun girls weekend! Site 7 was a short hike in from the parking lot and the site was large enough for multiple tents. We had a 3p and 2p backpacking tent. Picnic table and fire ring provided at the site. There is a self pay station and the rates were pretty cheap! we enjoyed a rainy weekend and were even able to rig up an awning with some dead branches in our site and extra rope we brought to help us keep dry. Great location for water access. we had an inflatable kayak, traditional kayak, and inflatable paddleboard between the three of us!

Loved the site we had here for a girls camping weekend. We were able to keep our kayaks and paddle boards at our site since we had lake access. It was a perfect camping trip.

This campsite might become my go-to for a peaceful last-minute escape. The campsites are very wooded and private and situated along trails and the lakes. Small campground, and quite rustic so if that's what your looking for this is the ticket. 

There is a clean and nice boat access with a covered sitting area near it. Potable water at the welcome area and a few vaulted toilets throughout. No actual bathroom facilities. But it does have a group site. 

This also connects to the Northland Scenic Trail which is super cool! There is a high bluff at the end of Nelson Lake along the NCT that has AMAZING views about a miles hike from the campground.  

This is out in Paul Bunyan State Forest so is definitely away from ambient light and other houses, etc. It must be great fishing, I just wouldn't know cause I don't fish ;-) But seems like it would be! There is separate access for kayaks and canoes which is what I will bring next time I go FOR SURE. 

I also love the campground journal they keep by the boat access! This is my kind of camping, remote, quiet, serene, no light, and gorgeous.
