The camping sites were large and flat. Easy to pull our trailer in. The campground was quiet. While there we road our UTV for 2 days. We found some nice trails. I would suggest a map of the forest roads would be very helpful when running around. We would stay at Day Lake again.

My stay at Day Lake was great! Sites have a lot of space between them, pretty private. Lynn was a great camp host too!

@AmyL5692681 · Camped on Aug 8, 2025 at Campsite #27

There are lots of campsites. We reserved a nice big one. The fishing pier in our camp circle was nice, but the water was really shallow and weedy. I wish we had a boat for fishing. There's a small beach to swim as well. The pump in our circle was broken, but it was a short walk to the next one. I love this campground because it's a really short drive to clam lake for supplies.

Love Day Lake!! You are secluded enough that other campers are barely ever noticed. It is usually so peaceful (as long as there aren't too many ATV's in the campground). The paths around the lake are beautiful for walking. The beach could have used a little maintenance, but it was still ok.

@PaulS8803282 · Camped on Aug 8, 2025 at Campsite #19

Pretty lake. Nice quiet place to camp. Unless neighbor runs generator all weekend. Mosquitos were bad at dusk and dawn. Would have been nice to have a little info about other things in area on the bulletin boards. Great camp host even though her dog never stopped barking. Would definitely put on list of places to return(after I get to all the places I want to check out).

Our stay are always very good here.. Been camping here for years...

@Nathaniel03479 · Camped on Jun 19, 2025 at Campsite #48

Only there for one night. Site was well sheltered from other sites and had access to a lakeside trail where we watched the sunset from a peninsula. I would recommend this location to other campers

@markk7381774 · Camped on Jun 19, 2025 at Campsite #36

Great site, good cell coverage, deer flies were not that bad, camp host was friendly

@DebraS6269368 · Camped on Jun 11, 2025 at Campsite #30

Really enjoyed easy access to so many ATV trails!

@DavidM1864120 · Camped on Jun 2, 2025 at Campsite #18

Love the private lots

@MichelleL80751 · Camped on May 23, 2025 at Campsite #34

campground was well maintained and quiet.

@JennaO57113053 · Camped on Aug 9, 2024 at Campsite #46

This was a great campground with so much privacy! We were so happy with this 2-night stop on our way to the UP! So neat that each campsite has access to the lake and a small boat launch for kayaks, canoes, etc. The lake is so peaceful and gave me Boundary Water vibes. Highly recommend! We also booked pretty last minute and still found openings which was wonderful.

@KarlJohnBEFC2A · Camped on Aug 1, 2024 at Campsite #33

Day Lake is a beautiful campground, with large campsite and lots of trees. We camped in tents and enjoyed the peaceful environment, as well as the elk bugling in the middle of the night. The nearby picnic/beach area is a great spot for grilling hamburgers. Don't let the tanins that color the water fool you, the beach is great for swimming, with shallow entry and then deeper water further out. It is also an easy drive to lots of hiking.

@Kenneth8DDBCB6 · Camped on Jul 18, 2024 at Campsite #20

Pit toilets clean with no odor. Campsites very nice!FYI: Campers are destroying Birch Trees due to their hacking of the trees with hatchets / axes. Peeling their bark off. Maybe better monitoring of campers actions or signs?# Confusion as to whether the Day Lake Beach and large picnic area is included in the camping fee?? Not talking about the beach within the campground. (Federal area off highway outside of Clam Lake). We have had Federal Park Employees tell us, that area is included in the camping fee, others telling us an additional $5.00 fee is required on top of the camping fee. What is the requirement???

@KarenSB850B038 · Camped on Jun 27, 2024 at Campsite #5

The campground is quite large with spacious sites that begin to feel claustrophobic after a few days. The forest is so dense you can't see out of your site and the sun can't be seen through the canopy. I reserved for two weeks but only spent a total of three days because of this. The area is beautiful and offers a lot of recreation but if you aren't looking to actually be out of your campsite daily you may begin to feel penned in. I did.

Our happy place/

@stevev2232221 · Camped on May 24, 2024 at Campsite #37

Our stay was excellent! Apart from having a few mosquitos around due to wet conditions, the campsites were great! For our location in the loop, we placed ourselves furthest from the well pump and outhouse, but that is on us. The outhouse was clean and stocked with paper, the pump water was nice and cold, and....due to some trees needing to be taken down during the winter and prep months, there was ample wood for burning. The wood was obviously a little wet so a good hot flame was not attainable, but nonetheless, there was wood available at that time. I would not anticipate that being the case, though as the wood will get consumed as the year goes on and is not a guarantee. We just happened to be there at a time the forest service had cleaned up a few trees. The road in was in excellent condition! Great stay!!

@PennyW05790E9A · Camped on Aug 3, 2023 at Campsite #19

Great place. Super helpful staff.

@SteveW7867249 · Camped on Jul 30, 2023 at Campsite #49

Campsites are generally small but secluded and quiet. The lake is also quiet with very few people using it while we were there. Good lake for paddling but not good for power boats.

@BrandonS417195 · Camped on Jul 1, 2023 at Campsite #27

Ben coming here since I summer of 99 and it it always amazes me the beauty this campground has

@michaelk687828 · Camped on Jun 30, 2023 at Campsite #36

Our only problem was the mosquitoes. But that is not the campgrounds fault. That's mother nature...very nice campground very well kept..

@LaurieB8871906 · Camped on Aug 31, 2022 at Campsite #49

Beautiful campground--nicely spaced sites, extremely clean outhouses!!

@ROCKYM1241666 · Camped on Aug 19, 2022 at Campsite #50

Our sites were clean, bathroom was kept clean and it was nice and peaceful. Adding a dump station would be great as there is none.

@DaveA1580673 · Camped on Aug 11, 2022 at Campsite #22

We had a great week, beautiful weather, and caught muskie in the lake.

@KathrynS492126 · Camped on Aug 11, 2022 at Campsite #49

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
