We were very happy with this campground.Our only issues were that our campsite did not have our reservation posted; three other prior reservations were still posted. And, the people at the next campsite were harassing the Swans, literally chasing them every time they put their Kayaks out on the water. If you cannot respect the Flora and Fauna, PLEASE STAY HOME!

The Camp sites are beautiful and the shoreline is not weedy. We had a great experience.

@RickK622B2932F · Camped on Jun 14, 2024 at Campsite #8

Nice and calm campground. Site #8 is on a hill, with a set of stairs down to the site. Nice lake access!

If you could arrange for no mosquitoes, I think we would live at Jeanette Lake forever. Even without power and water, and with mosquitoes in extreme numbers, we thoroughly enjoyed the beauty and peace of this campground.

@PeterK8781529 · Camped on Jul 13, 2023 at Campsite #6

Drove 4.5 hours out of the city to get some nature and peace and quiet only to show up and have to listen to a generator running not 30 feet from my picnic table all day from the next campsite. Very discouraging.

@SusanP4870118 · Camped on Jun 30, 2023 at Campsite #5

Beautiful site, views are phenomenal, really enjoyed ourselves.

@DianeT5548660 · Camped on Jun 22, 2023 at Campsite #10

I have been vacationing here each summer for the past 50 years. I have been disappointed for the past 5-10 years as no one is maintaining the campgrounds. The outhouses stink bring your own toilet paper. And how about cut the grass! Very disappointed. The lake is beautiful but the maintenance of the grounds is disappointing. You charge people to walk around in knee high grass. Shameful

@DavidG5648223 · Camped on Jun 4, 2023 at Campsite #5

a very nice lake side campground.well kept and clean. i drove the forest roads to the south of the camp and saw deer,moose and bear.

@JonathanE40733 · Camped on Jun 3, 2023 at Campsite #9

Overall a nice quiet campground. Some of the sites have lake views. Site #9 is basically in the driveway of site #10.

@LauraP2587889 · Camped on May 30, 2023 at Campsite #10

Very quiet & peaceful, with great views of the lake/sunset. Very buggy in June though!

@SandraO1291881 · Camped on May 24, 2023 at Campsite #9

We were camping for five days. The bathrooms were never cleaned and toilet paper was never replenished the entire time we were camping. Be sure to bring your own toilet paper!

@markom4735318 · Camped on Oct 2, 2022 at Campsite #Standard S&P

One of my favorite places to camp.

@ThomasR5111286 · Camped on Aug 20, 2022 at Campsite #7

We stayed here the night before our entry into the BWCA (EP16). Jeanette lake is very pretty, and the campsites are reasonably secluded. The campground has vault toilets and drinking water.

@RogerC4303359 · Camped on Jul 31, 2022 at Campsite #7

We've been enjoying Jeanette Lake for 50 years. We remember back when the grass was mowed around the sites and toilet paper was never this scarce. What's up with this? What does our fee go to pay for? We do appreciate that the trees felled during a storm are cleared from the paths and roadways. It doesn't seem too much to ask that the toilets are supplied with paper during the week, not just on Friday for the week-end. Campers are visiting all week. Thanks for making some necessary changes. We were pleasantly surprised to find that we had cell service-a first in 50 years. Thank you for this.

@PaulaK7311297 · Camped on Jul 21, 2022 at Campsite #5

Very basic services at this small campground but it is worth it for a remote feeling getaway. Worth the dusty drive up the Echo Trail. We were surprised that all the first come first serve sites filled up the first day we were there (mid-week) so we were glad we had reserved a site. Gorgeous sunsets, super quiet, felt like we were in the BWCA.

@CherylM3564547 · Camped on Jul 10, 2022 at Campsite #7

Beautiful campground unfortunately best spots occupied by long term reservations

@JoeM4444950 · Camped on Jul 10, 2022 at Campsite #6

Not very clean.

@RebekkahG37503 · Camped on Jul 6, 2022 at Campsite #7

Small campground. Each site had its own personality. It was quiet and extremely tranquil.

@FredM6101334 · Camped on Jun 21, 2022 at Campsite #6

Campsites on the water are beautiful.

@SandraO1291881 · Camped on May 24, 2022 at Campsite #6

Lake Jeanette is a wonderful campground if you like to enjoy nature. It is primitive camping with beautiful views of a gorgeous lake.

@DennisN779 · Camped on Sep 24, 2021 at Campsite #3

it was vary peaceful quite park

@LaurieA896 · Camped on Aug 30, 2021 at Campsite #6

I was fortunate enough to spend 40+ years hiking, canoeing and camping in the BWCAW and it is no longer an option for me. Camping at Jeanette Lake re-created the BWCAW experience for me - the deafening silence, the stillness of the water, the mega-rocks and boulders, the scent of the forest - all brought back many, many fond memories. I plan to return for sure!

@CynthiaH481 · Camped on Jul 13, 2021 at Campsite #6

Beautiful lake and campsite 6 had it’s own stairs down to the lake for easy kayak launch. Gorgeous sunsets across the lake and just very peaceful. Loved the solar pump house for campground water. Genius!

@PaulC495 · Camped on Aug 12, 2019 at Campsite #3

The care taker was very friendly and helpful.

@AmyM491 · Camped on Aug 9, 2019 at Campsite #11

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
