A remote 10-site rustic campground with a hand pump for drinking water. A boat landing can be found across the lake from the campground, about a half mile down the road.
With Mineral Lake and Lake Three campgrounds now closed, this is the closest operating national forest campground to Copper Falls State Park. Though it’s a longer trek on gravel roads to get here from Mellen compared to the now-closed campgrounds, Beaver Lake remains a nice option for anyone looking to visit the many attractions in this region. St. Peter’s Dome is not a far drive from here and offers a scenic short day hike.
The campground doesn’t have any path or access to the lake aside from the lakefront campsites themselves; choose a lakefront site if lake access is important to you. Beaver Lake lacks a beach but appears swimmable at the lakefront campsites.
The North Country Trail crosses the campground entrance driveway. Lake Three and its now-idled campground are about a two mile hike to the east and other national forest attractions can be found a few miles west.
