Quiet and peaceful. The restrooms for the cleanest I've ever seen. Thanks

we used this campground for a launching point for the boundary waters and it worked great.

Too pricey for the stay. The side said it was $12 per night but I was charge $30 per night. Most trees where burn out and fall down from the roots. Made me feel a sense of pain and agony, suffering in the area. I did got to see an cougars though! Which was freaking scary but totally awesome. Overall was ok. Wish there were showers in the campground or some water source.

The vault toilets were nice and clean. The beach was nice.

Our campsite had lots of room and separation from the nearby sites. We knew what we were signing up for with vault toilets and no electric. The potable water source was a bit hard to find but we asked fellow campers and were able to find it eventually. Other than noisy neighbors way past the start of quiet hours our experience was great.

Great little campground. Quiet! Good fishing!

A nice quiet place for dry camping with pit toilets. Beautiful small lake with easy access for canoeing or small boats, plus a sandy beach and fishing pier.

Perfect location: not close to busy roads, couldn’t hear loud traffic, no trains that where close enough to wake you up in the middle of the night. Camp sites where more private then most campgrounds. Made great memories, very kid friendly

Clean, fun, nice campground. not sure what happened to the dumpster, however. Host site was set up, but a host was never present. other campers were good. Swimming was good and fishing was great!

@SandraK5565002 · Camped on Aug 9, 2022 at Campsite #2

Very relaxing campground. Loved being in my hammock listening to the loons.

@KristenS426435 · Camped on Jul 1, 2022 at Campsite #6

Sites are fairly private and we really enjoy the small campground.

We reserved our site in the spring and when we got there it was full. The host had forgot to put up the reserved sign. We drove 2 hours there and back for nothing.

28 foot by 12 inch round tree was on our tent pad site when we arrived. This was site 12 which I reserved 1 month in advanced. 1/3 of our site was non usable. The park ranger drove by slow and kept going and the campground host looked at the tree and said you have a tree down. All the campground said after this was you need to fill out a tag. This is the first time at a Federal campground I had to fill out my own tag. Always in the past at all other Federal campgrounds the tag was on the post already and said reserved. We left that next morning. Ended up setting the tent on a hill. This dead Birch tree could have come down on our tent.

Nice relaxing remote campground.

This is very nice and fun for people who want to feel a more rustic camping. The campsites are large enough for those who use campers and it seems more camping places are dropping lawn space for tents, this lake still has sites that offer great tent space for the more adventurous types. There is fresh water to be had and the bathrooms are permanent "outhouses". The water is lovely and clear if you want a nice swimming lake for the family. The lake itself is small and best for the smaller boats. Water sporting is done on the lake, though not as often due to the space of it. You will hear loons in the morning and evenings, may even see an eagle or two and some deer. There is a hiking trail around the lake. I really like this place it can be peaceful and there are times it can be a little lively. It has never been outrageous or crazy. This is the place for a more "disconnected" experience. the only power you will have is via vehicle or generator.

@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!!!
