About
Clara Lake Rustic Campground sits on the shore of Clara Lake within the Superior National Forest, surrounded by a mature pine stand. This small, rustic campground has only three sites, making it an ideal retreat for campers seeking solitude. The campground is free and operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no reservations. Amenities are minimal: vault toilets are provided, but there is no potable water on site. Campers must bring their own drinking water or treat lake water by boiling or filtering. Each site has a fire ring and tent pad. There is no garbage service, so all trash including fish remains must be packed out. Clara Lake offers fishing and non-motorized boating, with a boat launch available. The campground is close to other lakes in the area, making it a great base for a weekend of fishing or relaxing by the water. Only one of the three sites can accommodate vehicles longer than 21 feet, so this campground is best suited for tent campers or small rigs.
