From MN 61 in Tofte: Turn north on Co 2, drive approx 11 miles to FR 164 (Honeymoon Trail) Turn right and drive 5.5 miles. The campground is on the left, just past the bridge over the Poplar River. From MN 61 in Lutsen: Turn north on Co 4, drive approx 6 miles to FR 164 (Honeymoon Trail). Turn right and drive approx 4 miles. The campground is on the right, just before the bridge over the Poplar River.
Like the size of the plots and the proximity to the river. Very out of the way. Toilet is present and each site gets a fire pit and picnic table, but you make do past that.
A favorite of mine for rustic camping. No fresh water and only vault toilets but you will be greeted by 4 beautiful campsites along the river. The river itself is a cool and clean trout stream. Nearby is white pine lake and its' campground. As well as a public water access.
Please remember this is a rustic site. No amenities. However, this is why I like it. Remote, on the Poplar River, and only about 6 or so sites. Was very quiet when we were there. I have returned and stayed here many times.
Best campsite yet. Tornado shelter/pit toilet. Right on the river. Gorgeous fall colors. Only 4 sites here - first come first serve. Free. Great trout fishing per our camping neighbors.
We stayed during fall to see the leaves change. 30 mins from Lutsen drive - but the drive is beautiful if you come during fall. The campsites are huge. You can hear a waterfall if you get a spot by the river, & the campsites by the river have steps down to the river. The toilet was a normal camp toilet. We will deff stay again. The only thing that ruined our night was someone ran their generator the entire night & that covered the waterfall noise
