Smaller campground in a pine forest, love the smell after it rains. A short walk brings you to the rivers edge and a canoe landing. Most of the sites are close to each other and have little buffering. There are a few drive in sites that offer a little more privacy. There are also a few walk in sites. Granted I only walked about 50 yards to get to the site, it was a little more quite. Love the setting of the campground but would only go back if I could reserve certain sites. The best reservable sites do go early, clearly. The garbage area was kept well organized...recycling etc. The bathroom was clean and mostly bug free. I definitely liked the effort put forth in keeping the grounds in good shape.

Brule River State Forest is a beautiful place to visit. My trip coincided with the end of the Hex hatch on the Brule river. Fishing in the dark, in a new place can be a bit tricky, even with a headlamp. Caught more tree branches than fish. Landing nothing bigger than a 13" brown. Spent a few more days hiking, wading and fishing the Brule. Lots of little fish...scenery was awesome, scouted a few good steelhead spots for a later return and what few decent fish I got to show themselves was enough to keep me searching. Stayed at Copper Range campground which was nice but close quarters and had a canoe access down a path. Also stayed at the Brule river motel...nice place with very nice people. Kro bar was a short walk down the street. I will be back for some steelhead.
