Disappointed and Heartbroken Cass Lake Has ChangedIve been camping at Cass Lake in Chippewa National Forest since I was a child, and its always held a special place in my heart. Unfortunately, after our most recent trip, I can confidently say I wont be returning.The rumors that the campground has gone downhill are sadly true. On our first night, we heard what we assumed were firecrackersonly to learn the next morning from a tribal police officer that campers had actually been shooting pistols. The officer was investigating reports of gunshots and warned us to lock up anything we didnt want stolen. He explained that theft has become common, with people driving through the campground and grabbing unattended items.Sure enough, we saw a truck cruising through the sites with random bikes and camping gear in the backnothing about it looked right.This is the first time I havent felt safe camping here, and its incredibly disappointing. Cass Lake used to be a peaceful, family-friendly place full of good memories. Now, it feels unsafe and poorly managed.Do better, Cass Lake. For the sake of the families and longtime campers who once loved this place.

Best beach in Minnesota!

Very nice campground. However, the 30-amp breaker was broken and we were unable to run our air conditioner. Temperature was in the upper 80's.I requested a partial refund and was denied with no explanation given.Also the restroom and showers are in desperate need of some serious cleaning and updating.

Sites are clean and well kept

We were surprised to find that our site 082 was basically a double site. The map on the website did not indicate this. We were fortunate that no one else occupied the site next to us as it could have been awkward sharing the site with strangers. The bathrooms are very old and desperately need renovations, but I know money is always an issue. They are as clean as possible. The overall Recreation Area is awesome with so many opportunities for people to enjoy the outdoors. We rode our bikes on the paved trail every day. The Visitor Center was definitely a "must see". Do not use the GPS coordinates that are on the reservation confirmation. Use the printed directions, they are correct, and the signage is good.

Very nice place but I have concerns. History of potential violence and other campers are loud, using foul language and campsites that are filthy. Have been going to campsites for over 50 years and has definitely become a problem. Every year it has gotten worse. I have not felt dafe. Also why do some campers do not have to follow 14 day rule of stay. I realize those campers have the right to stay free but why not follow the rules. I can give many examples of instances if needed.

This campground has sadly gone downhill over the last few years. It's not taken care of very well. The shower /restrooms need major work. I still like coming here because the campsites are very spacious.

Take a trip to Bemidji or Itasca State park from here
@JeffreyP295388 · Camped on Aug 22, 2024 at Campsite #90
Bathhouse is very outdated and in need of repair. Otherwise the campground is great.
@KevinA3275318 · Camped on Aug 21, 2024 at Campsite #94
Large level sites. Bathrooms flush toilets and a useable shower.
@BernieDEA36BD4 · Camped on Jul 28, 2024 at Campsite #93
The camp host did a wonderful job of keeping bathroom clean and informing campers of any concerns we needed to be aware of

We love camping at Norway Beach campground and have been coming back for years. We especially enjoy the bike trails and the beach, even though there is swimmers itch. The bathrooms were very dirty and out of toilet paper. Attention needs to be paid to this area.For the first time, a bear visited our campsite and got into our coolers. Even a cooler that was bungied shut got tossed 20 yards into the woods. We highly recommend that people put all food including coolers in their cars.
@LoriW4261886 · Camped on Sep 1, 2023 at Campsite #108
The bathroom in the chippewa loop have been a total mess. Floors Never swept, floors not washed, sink ever cleaned, walls washed, or toilet paper filled! The host drove around on his riding lawn mower all times of the day and night! Monica and Bob Bovette did such a great job before this last host. The mens bathroom a wreck no toilet seat on one toilet floors so bad I wouldnt walk across with my shoes on! Great beech and camp ground the bathrooms such!
@KimberlyH57940 · Camped on Aug 30, 2023 at Campsite #80
Great site, until we all ended up with swimmers itch the last day.
@MyshaG0D4E1546 · Camped on Aug 28, 2023 at Campsite #80
Beautiful campground. A lot of poison ivy, no dump station and no firewood but we loved it anyway. Will be back.
@JonMicha972558 · Camped on Aug 18, 2023 at Campsite #105
This was our first time here and what an experience! The sites are peaceful, very quiet and well kept. Watching the sunset on the beach was priceless! Highly recommend going here and we will be back next year!!!
@terryh6561192 · Camped on Aug 11, 2023 at Campsite #79
The campground was great other than the bathrooms. They are in need of repair and cleaning.
@ErikM184509056 · Camped on Jul 24, 2023 at Campsite #93
Love the campground!!! Host was worthless. Only cleaned after repeated complaints to rangers. People in the campground actually had to clean the bathrooms.
@LLOYDC84C3C722 · Camped on Jul 24, 2023 at Campsite #90
Bathroom could have been cleaned a lot better. Went for days with out toilet paper
@RosemaryWDDB11 · Camped on Jul 22, 2023 at Campsite #84
Important to note: there's no dump station and no where to fill your water tank even though there are water spigots, flush toilets and showers available. None of the water spigots are threaded. It's a great are and a nice wooded campground. Electricity at the sites and good cell reception. Star Island and Windigo lake on it are a special treat. As others have commented the bathrooms are super dirty.
@KaraB4845554 · Camped on Jul 16, 2023 at Campsite #95
The lake is beautiful (but busy) and the campsites are well-spaced and nicely kept. However, the bathroom/showers are not good. Dirty and need to be updated. Also never saw anyone at the camp host site the whole trip and there was a group of people partying (the three campsites near ours were together) until 2-3am every night we were there and no one enforced noise curfew.
@CindyG2775357 · Camped on Jul 12, 2023 at Campsite #86
We have been coming to Chippewa Loop for a few years now and it’s our favorite campground! Beautiful sites and and trails to the beach when there is plenty of room. The Lodge is great too, I didn’t catch the volunteers name who showed us around but he was great at telling us about the history of the campground along with the story behind the fireplace in the lodge. Would highly recommend!
@JimO4036574 · Camped on Jun 28, 2023 at Campsite #91
The bathrooms and showers could be cleaned more frequently.
There needs to be a dump station.
The signage on the Migizi trail could be improved especially at key intersections.
@RobinH9361387 · Camped on Jun 26, 2023 at Campsite #96
The forest is always gorgeous.
@SharonH5098220 · Camped on Jun 21, 2023 at Campsite #96
We were there during the week and it wasn't crowded at all. We enjoyed our time at our site and going down to beach and walking a lot.

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.

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.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
