From Orr, take St. Louis County 23 to Buyck (16 miles). At Buyck, County 23 turns into County 24. Continue on County 24 for 4 miles to the Echo Trail (County Road 116). Turn right, 0.8 miles to campground entrance road on left.
We stay here a lot and for long periods of time. The camphost is very friendly and keeps the place looking great, cleans the bathrooms very clean.
This is a great campsite! We stayed up here when we visited Voyageurs National Park. It was pretty spacious and since we went up in May when it was still a little chilly, it was really private. There were only 3 other groups there. It was VERY buggy, so come prepared. The blue jays in the area also like to talk in the morning. It has a nice beach and playground, and a dumpster by the boat landing. The toilets are pit toilets, but were in nice shape. This is a great place to stay as long as you bring bug spray!
Very buggy. Nice beach and campsite. Middle of the week quiet but as you near the weekend, sites fill up with campers - unfortunately, generators are not regulated and we heard one running all day and all night.
Remote location, but that is part of the draw. A couple of campers did run their generator during the day, but we were on the lake Canoeing Beautiful sunsets.
Echo Lake is in the middle of nowhere, but that is one of the things I loved about it. We camped in the middle of August and only 4 other sites were occupied. The camp host went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our stay and even delivered firewood to our site when we arrived late Sunday afternoon so we didn't have to drive back to town. We stayed here as a base for our day trip to Voyageurs National Park and took the Echo Trail out as we headed to the North Shore. Such a cool drive (dirt road). Perfect location and scenery and would love to make it back here!
