Moose Lake State Park

Moose Lake State Park Campground, perched on a serene hillside overlooking Echo Lake in northeastern Minnesota, offers a tranquil retreat for campers seeking a blend of relaxation and outdoor recreation. With 35 campsites—ranging from wooded electric and non-electric options to two secluded walk-in sites—this semi-modern campground caters to tent campers and RV enthusiasts alike, delivering a comfortable yet immersive natural experience. Amenities include flush toilets, hot showers (available seasonally), and easy access to Echo Lake’s sandy swimming beach, fishing pier, and boat rentals, making it a well-rounded destination for families, solo travelers, and outdoor adventure seekers.

Located just minutes from the small town of Moose Lake and less than 40 minutes southeast of Duluth, the campground is conveniently positioned for exploring the area’s rich landscapes. Within the park, visitors enjoy five miles of scenic hiking trails, peaceful wildlife viewing around a pond, and the fascinating Agate Geological Interpretive Center, which houses exhibits on Minnesota’s unique geology. Echo Lake provides ample opportunities for fishing and paddling, while the park’s proximity to nearby attractions like Banning and Jay Cooke State Parks makes it an appealing base for day trips and further exploration.
