Description

Camp along the banks of McFarland Lake in northeast Minnesota here at McFarland Lake Campground! In fact, head any further north or east, and you’ll be in Canada (eh?). This small, primitive campground is perfect for anglers, hikers, and swimmers looking for a quiet, remote camping experience. Launch your canoe in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area, or head out on a day hike along the Border Route Hiking Trail and you'll be in your happy place before you know it.

Word of warning:

1) NO WATER. There is no potable water source at the campsite. You must pack in your own water or be prepared to treat the lake water.

2) Bring TP. While it is 'maintained' by the Judge Magney SP crew when I was there this past week it was out of TP for three of the five days. (and might still be - it was the last three days I was there).

3) The big site that is the first left and left when you come in is close to roadway. It can get noisy.

So there are 7 campsites here.
As you come in #1 is on the right, 2 is the big site on the left, 3 is just past it on the left (behind the vault toilet), 4 and 5 are to the right of the vault toilet (and connected to each other) and 6 and 7 are down near the dock and also conn'd.
