IRON LAKE (MN), MN

Description

Located in a dense forest along the banks of Iron Lake, this campground is unique due to its remoteness. There are seven sites for RVs or tents. There are no electric hook-ups. Walleye and northern pike fishing are usually good. The campground is typically open in early May, and closes in mid October. Site #6 is a first come, first serve site. Conveniences are available at area lodges and resorts.


The Ham Lake Fire passed through Iron Lake Campground on May 7, 2007. You will be surprised at how the burned area is greening up. Soils and Seedling trees are delicate and some dead trees which could be hazardous, were left standing to provide habitat. This means visitors must stay out of closed areas.
