Lake Jeanette Campground

Approaching Lake Jeanette Campground feels like stepping into a tranquil wilderness haven shaped by time and nature's artistry. Perched on a peninsula extending into the glacier-carved Lake Jeanette, this compact campground offers a special blend of privacy, serenity, and pristine natural beauty, perfect for those seeking a peaceful retreat within Minnesota's Superior National Forest.

The campground boasts 12 well-maintained sites, including walk-in and backcountry options, some with breathtaking lakeside views. With a backdrop of towering pines, spruce, and hardwoods, and accented by glacial boulders draped in moss, the setting is both rugged and picturesque. Amenities remain simple—vault toilets and solar-powered water—but these modest conveniences complement the campground's rustic charm. Lake Jeanette itself invites exploration with its winding shoreline, islands, and calm waters ideal for canoeing or kayaking. Anglers will find opportunities to catch walleye, northern pike, and perch.

Located along the remote Echo Trail, just 32 miles northeast of Orr, MN, the campground provides proximity to both solitude and adventure. Nearby highlights include the Astrid Lake Hiking Trail, renowned for its scenic glacial features, and day trips to sites such as Vermillion Falls or Crane Lake. Whether you're planning a weekend escape, a stopover en route to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, or a longer stay, Lake Jeanette Campground offers an authentic wilderness experience steeped in natural splendor.
