2020 W. Highway 61 Grand Marais, MN 55604
Anglers and paddlers who want a private lake to themselves will get it here. Brook, brown, rainbow, and lake trout are all present, the non-motorized boat ramp works, and summer nights drop cool enough to sleep well. Carry your water in and treat it.
No potable water on-site, no restrooms despite what older listings suggested, carry-in access only, and Grand Marais is 16 miles back for anything you forgot. First-come means you could hike in and find it taken.

<p>This is one of our Backcountry sites which is a near- wilderness single party site and is accessible only by foot or boat. These sites are first come, first served. There is one site on this lake, each have a fire grate, a latrine and may have a picnic table. A few reminders: Hang food packs, put your fire out each time you leave your campsite, treat or boil all water, wash yourself and dishes at least 150ft from any body of water, pack out all garbage and Leave No Trace. Use a Forest Map to locate campsites and accesses. </p>
Access to the 1 site is a carry down on the North West side of the lake.
Compare with similar sites, watch availability, and build a packing list — Camp Sage handles all of it.
Summer is the practical choice here. Daytime highs run 65–80°F, nights drop to 45–55°F. The water is ice-free, the portage or hike in is straightforward, and fishing peaks. Long daylight hours make setup easier. Winter brings deep snow and frigid temperatures. The site remains accessible for hardy visitors, but you're hauling gear through snow and camping in serious cold. Fall offers color in the hardwoods and crisp air, but shorter days and cooler water. Spring means mud season and unpredictable conditions as the forest thaws.
Summer is practical: ice-free water, warmer temps, peak fishing and boating per reviews.
Potable water is not available at this site. Restrooms are not available at this site.
