About
Crooked Lake Campsite offers a rustic, solitary camping experience on one of the many small inland lakes in the Hiawatha National Forest. This single primitive site measures 35 by 35 feet and sits in a hardwood and pine setting, suitable for one family with a tent or small trailer. The pull-through driveway accommodates vehicles up to 24 feet in length. The lake provides good fishing opportunities for bluegill, crappie, and northern pike, with occasional smallmouth bass. Boat access is carry-in only and located at the campsite, though it is shared with the public so anglers may pass through your site to reach the water. Swimming conditions are considered poor. This is a true primitive camping experience with no toilets, no potable water, and pack-in/pack-out trash requirements. Nearby Steuben (about four miles southwest on County Road 437) offers gasoline, groceries, fishing supplies, boat rentals, ice, and fishing licenses.
