About

Cadotte Lake Campground lines the western shore of 318-acre Cadotte Lake in Superior National Forest's Laurentian Ranger District. The campground features 27 wooded campsites arranged in two loops, with private sites nestled in a mixed forest of evergreen, birch, and aspen. Some sites offer lake views and trail access to the water. The campground provides excellent amenities for water recreation, including a boat ramp, fishing dock, and sandy swimming beach. Cadotte Lake is known for quality walleye and northern pike fishing. Most campsites can accommodate moderately sized vehicles, and some sites can handle RVs up to 45 feet in length. The facility includes two long-term seasonal campsites for extended stays over 14 days. Surrounded by Superior National Forest's 3 million acres, visitors can explore secluded hiking trails, pristine lakes and rivers, and the boreal forest ecosystem characteristic of northeastern Minnesota's arrowhead region. The campground is managed by a concessionaire and includes a camp host located at site 4.
