About Fort Charlotte Backcountry Campgrounds

Nestled at the edge of the Pigeon River where the United States meets Canada, Fort Charlotte Backcountry Campgrounds offer two remote wilderness sites within Grand Portage National Monument. These secluded havens welcome intrepid hikers and paddlers seeking an authentic backcountry experience steeped in centuries of trading history. Here, where the whisper of the river mingles with the rustle of ancient forests, modern adventurers can find the same sense of solitude and discovery that once drew voyageurs to these storied waters.
