camping spot

[rwestb]

The wife and I are planning a trip towards the end of august first part of september and we were wondering where a good place to camp would be? We are not really familiar with the lake other than we have done some northern fishing in march around the springsteel area. We have our own boat (18ft 100hp) we will be sleeping in a tent and we would like to catch walleyes. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks in advance.

Zippel Bay State Park has beautiful campsites, a ramp and slips. That'd be my first choice. Alot of the resorts N. of Baudette have campsites also but these are kinda cramped with other campers and tents {elbow to elbow} from what I've seen. There is also a campsite along the highway N. of Baudette that used to be a KOA but I can't remember if it's still KOA or if the name has been changed. Warroad has a municipal campground also with alot of room that time of year.<P>Regards....Fisky

I agree Zipple Bay State Park is a great place to camp. It is dosen't have any modern facilites but it does have great boat landing and docking facilites. There is a hand pump well for water. Also your close to many good locations for fishing for that time of year. I would definately recommend it!

Nelsen Park at Birchdale on the Rainy River has some nice camp sites. Good Sturgeon fishing too. Not as secluded camping as Zipple Bay State Park though.

Assabaska Campgroud between Berglund and Morson is an awesome campgroud. It used to be a Provincial Park. However, the government gave it back to the Natives. It has a shower house and great sites along the lake. Sunsets and sunrises are gorgeous. It also has two boatlandings which come in handy if it is windy. You can hit many fishing spots from there too. Have a great time wherever you end up.
