This is our favorite campground. We love the walk-in sites 1-5. We have reserved sites 1,3, and 5 for a family camping trip for several years. Sites 2 and 4 are beautiful but first come first serve. We have found that if we arrive on a Thursday one or both of these sites might be available. Our favorites in order starting with our favorite are 5, 4, 2, 3, and 1. Our priority is private and rustic so the walk to 5 is a positive rather than a negative. If I wanted to be closest to the bathroom/car area then I would rank #2 highest.

We have come back to this campground for several years. The last two years we have reserved 3 sites for 3 generations of campers in our family in what has become an annual event. The campsites are all heavily wooded with great privacy and many of them have great lake views. We bring 2 kayaks up and rent a canoe at Sawtooth outfitters in Tofte so that people can get on the lake. It is a beautiful lake.

What beauty! The site was just as I remembered, but with a fall colors veil. We were delighted by the presence of three otters volleying a caught fish, and of course the loons were singing. We will be back!

This was the second time that we camped in Crescent Lake Campground in the last two Septembers. We loved that area because of its rugged environment with the dirt roads. Its dark nights were excellent for our stargazing. We will return next year.
