Great place to camp! Nice peaceful lake. It was cool to hear the wolves about 3am from across the lake.

Beautiful State Forest campground 35 minutes away from the airport in Kingsford and 15 minutes away from Crystal Falls. It has a little more than 20 campsites, 9-12 have a lake view, and at least 10 and 11 have direct water access. Vault toilets and a hand pump are available. The beach is sandy the lake is clear and cold. We swam from our campsite to the beach multiple times. There is also a well maintained hiking trail. Part of the lake loop is currently closed due to maintenance of the bridge and boardwalk.

Pros: Rustic camping (vault toilets). Nice campsites with fire rings. Lake has a boat ramp, but zero boat traffic, perfect for canoeing or kayaking. Trail system is extensive, good for hiking. Cons: Campsites are too close to the road for this girl. Bummer! When I want to be in the woods, I really don’t want to hear cars driving by. Not a really big deal, but there are no garbage containers, so what you bring in, you need to take with you. Someone left bags of feces at the back of the site we chose and a circle area of used toilet paper. (I guess the 100-foot walk to the toilet was too far.) I don’t regret camping here, but it’s not enough for me to come back.

The campground is beautiful. The people next to us in the campground were up all night with there megaphone screaming and hollering and cussing. We will never go back. And my family has been going there since they were babies. Sad! If you want a peaceful vacation sadly I must say go somewhere else.

Grounds appear to be maintained recently a big plus from the last time we were here. Wish there was a garbage dumpster for the price you pay to "rustic" camp.

Only drove through, but had several nice spots. Could hear the roadway. No TP in the outhouse that needed pumped.

This is a lovely little campground that is locked into an extensive trail system. The lake is totally undeveloped and is deserving of a canoe/kayak/small boat. Also functions well as a base camp for traveling to nearby Lake Mary, Peavey Pond and Michigamme Reservoir; not to mention plenty of public lands for hunting. The screening has been slightly reduced between the campsites due to some hazard tree removal efforts, and the adjacent Lake Mary road can have some frequent, usually single car traffic, but the overall setting of the sites with the lake is truly unique. Love the foot bridge spanning over the bog, nice touch.

Nice little Beach area. Good fishing, hiking trails, be careful can get lost. Many horseflies mosquitoes on trails. Bug spray a must. Great atmosphere with beautiful sunsets

A gorgeous campground and recreational area! They have multiple camp sites for rustic camping in a quiet, beautiful setting on Glidden Lake. Pit- toilet facilities available. There are nearly twelve miles of hiking trails available, and a nice boardwalk through the marsh land. Cost per night is 15, no trash available so pack in, pack out.
