About
White Pine Lake Rustic Campground offers a quiet, no-fee camping experience on a beautiful medium-sized lake in Superior National Forest. This three-site campground features vault toilets, fire rings at each site, tent pads, a boat launch, and an accessible fishing pier. The surrounding old-growth white pines create a classic Northwoods atmosphere ideal for fishing and relaxing on the water. The campground is easily accessible via paved and gravel roads from Lutsen. Sites are pull-in style with one vehicle and one towed vehicle (such as a boat trailer) allowed per site. Two of the three sites exceed 21 feet and may accommodate smaller RVs, though the campground is not specifically designed for large rigs. Maximum occupancy is nine people per site with quiet hours from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. As a rustic campground, no potable water is available; lake water must be treated, boiled, or filtered. There is no garbage pickup, so campers must pack out all waste including fish cleaning remains. Dogs are allowed but must be leashed at all times and their food stored in bear-resistant containers.
Directions
From MN 61 at Lutsen: Take County Road 4 (Caribou Trail) inland approximately 6 miles to Forest Road 164 (Honeymoon Trail). Turn left on FR 164 and drive 2.5 miles. The campground is on the right.
