Iron Lake in Minnesota. Ringed marker is this site; the other dots are the 151 public campsites we map in Minnesota.

Iron Lake Campground is located in a dense forest along the banks of Iron Lake in far northern Minnesota. The campground is unique due to its remoteness and small size. Fishing and canoeing are its biggest draws, as the lake provides access to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. The Ham Lake Fire passed through the campground in 2007. Visitors may be surprised at how the burned area has grown back up. Recreation Iron Lake provides many boating opportunities.
