From Deer River, MN, take US Rt. 2 west 0.8 miles to State Rt. 46. Turn right onto Rt. 46 and go 19.1 miles to Eagle Nest Rd. Turn left onto Eagle Nest Rd. (dirt and gravel) and go 3.5 miles to campground.
Stayed last weekend in July. Nice spacious campsites. We camped as a family with 4 adjacent sites that fit 35' RV's just fine. Campground and beach were nice and quiet. Very secluded location with easy access to waterfront. We were a few hundred feet from one of the pit toilets and every once in a while we would get a foul whiff. Also the biting flies were pretty bad while we were there. The mosquitoes were not too bad if you used bug spray, but it didn't seem to bother the flies!
Quiet campground. Beautiful rustic sites (maybe 33 sites?) with access to the lake and lots of trail systems. No electric and rustic bathrooms. Reservation website said everything was booked on Friday evening but when we arrived the host suggested lots of open sites so that was a nice surprise. We saw the Seeyle Campground was posted as closed off except for overflow camping if other campgrounds were filled. There are lots of other campgrounds nearby. Winnie Trading Post does have propane.
You will need firewood, and water shoes for swimming. Great place for camping, we tent. Peaceful, quiet, friendly, relaxing. Boat launch locations, couple beaches, campsites with beach access, clean bathrooms, water pump old school 😎
One of my favorite places to camp in the fall. Good fish quiet and peaceful
