Savanna Portage Group Campground

About

Located within Savanna Portage State Park, Minnesota's third largest state park at over 15,000 acres, the group campground sits on the shores of Savanna Lake in a secluded mixed pine and oak forest. The terraced camping areas accommodate groups of up to 30 people and are drive-in accessible for small trailers and campers. The campground features primitive amenities including vault toilets, a hand pump for water, fire rings with grills, and picnic tables at each site. A boat landing provides direct lake access restricted to electric trolling motors, while the private beach and dock offer swimming and fishing opportunities for northern pike, bass, and panfish. The park preserves the historic Savanna Portage, a grueling six-mile trail once used by Dakota, Ojibwe, and European traders to connect the Mississippi River watershed to Lake Superior. Today visitors can hike the Continental Divide Trail and explore the park's rolling hills, lakes, and bogs.
