Sturgeon River Campground

I wishing could give this campground a five star, but it just isn't that. The location is definitely ideal as a launching point to the wilderness, but peaceful, it is not. It seems that every Atv rider in the forest needs to do a lap through the campground (maybe an exaggeration, but it happened often enough). The nights I was there it was full, and there were additional "campers" just sleeping in their parked cars near the entrance. Another issue is campers and fire safety, people need to put out fires in their pits completely...... Both of my neighbors left their sites with smoldering fire pits. We are right next to a river, get a jug, and drown out your fires.... Let's try to keep our forests, not burn them down.

Free camping, available upon arrival, no reservations!!! First come first serve. If you are into off road riding, its great. I am a trail rider with determination, I was able to do 26 + miles of trail with difficulty. Lots of sand, my dirt bike is not set up for me,( we are working on that) but i made it through only tipping my bike 2 times 😥 just have to watch out for the sand!! , otherwise I Loved it!!!

Quiet, secluded campground along the river. The campground was full the three nights we stayed in August. Bring your mosquito repellent. Pit toilet, but no water. Easy drive in on a well maintained gravel road. You can find some short hikes up to Bears Den or the Sturgeon falls.

Nice spot. Took my dog up for a long weekend here in mid-September 2021. The drive in on the well maintained FS road was very pleasant. I was the 3rd camper there by 6PM Thursday. By about that time Friday all 7 sites were full. There was not as much privacy between sites as I would’ve liked and most of the firewood in the campground was picked over but there was plenty along the road. A Forest service employee came through Friday morning but I didn’t see anyone else the rest of the weekend. Not much else I can add other than I was happy to see very little micro trash while I was there, the gnats were out in full force down at the River and the peaceful surroundings were pretty much negated due to a large group of 2 or 3 families who insisted on lighting off fireworks and running their

Nice place to camp with sounds of the river if you are parked close enough. Free dispersed camping, but does have two toilets. Internet very spotty, otherwise we would have stayed longer.
