The town of Brule is located in Douglas County on US Highway 2 between Superior and Ashland. To get to the Brule River State Forest headquarters go south on Ranger Road, which is located just west of town on Highway 2. Campground is located 4.5 miles north of Highway 2 on County Highway H, and then west on Park Road.
We camped at Copper Range in July for 2 nights and reserved 2 spots for a group of people. The spots are not bad, would've liked more space in between the spots but there's a lot worse. There are no showers, so that kind of sucked. You can go to the river, but the water is chillingly cold. There's only 1 trail (the river trail, about 2 miles long) that is at the campground so you would have to drive out a little ways for more trails/other activities. The rangers there are a little nosy and unpleasant. Walking around like they're about to investigate some crime. Overall the experience was meh, but the forest is beautiful.
Sites are flat, private, easy to get in and out of. The bathrooms are less than desirable. There is no electricity at campground at all.
Small campground in an old pine forest on the right side of Blure river. Beautiful place, only about 17 campsites. The only problem - almost no bushes, so you are not well separated from other. But if your neighbors are not wild, it is OK :) Several walk-in sites are on the riverbank, and water from pump really good. There is a nice trail for 3 hrs hike across the bridge, and many places nearby short drive in a car. Very good place to stay and explore places around
Fantastic! Beautiful wooded, quiet setting. Nice large picnic tables. Pick your site carefully because the trail to the toilet is rather round-about from many sites.
