Great site. Next to the boat ramp. Seems like they cleared a few trees after recent weather. Not really an even site but there is room between the site and the boat ramp where maybe you could be more level. BIG NOTE google maps took me down a road where the bridge is out for construction. Go the route where the other three sites have road access. The other way will probably be blocked until 2024.

I stayed at Site 1, which is isolated from the other three sites. Very quiet and peaceful. Swan Lake is one of the prettier little lakes in the Hiawatha Forest. Sites 2,3, and 4 are also very nice, #2 has plenty of shade. All the sites have easy access for canoes or kayaks, and site 1 is near a boat launch. I will definitely return.

Loved the spot but, and this is my fault but, I should have known that when its a boat launch it's not really a private site as others will show up here and there.

Only has one run in with anyone else so not a biggie.

If you don’t mind a little horse doo-doo, it’s a beautiful place to stay! There beautiful walking trails all around, & the view of lake with the hills in the background is amazing! Absolutely no cell service either. Just put your phone in airplane mode and save on your battery! 🐴

This was an amazing site! We had so much fun and the forest had multiple places to visit for stunning photos. Check out our walkthrough of sites 1,2,3 & 4. https://youtu.be/8pNdA2uv5zc

Had a wonderful time at Camp Site 1. The weather was unseasonably warm for mid-September. The fall colors were just about peaking. The only issue were incessant flies (not biting fortunately) any time the temperature went above 70F. I chalked this up to the abundant supply of horse manure poorly managed by past campers. Otherwise, great hiking within the Pine Marten Preserve, and very few people wandering through due to the restricted access. Still, a few "explorers" coming down the path. One drove his Blazer right through camp. Also, a few people using the boat ramp, though only one to actually put in a boat. There are pit toilets at the camp sites, not noted in the literature, a nice convenience.
