Located in the Superior National Forest, this public campground provides the perfect base camp for adventurers seeking to immerse themselves in some of the most unspoiled natural beauty in the upper Midwest. The campground sits along the shoreline of Saganaga Lake, a stunning body of water known for its crystal-clear waters and dramatic rocky shoreline that reflects the surrounding boreal forest.
This location is ideal for those who want to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and reconnect with nature. Whether you're an avid fisherman, canoeist, or simply someone who loves peaceful forest settings, Saganaga Lake #27 delivers an authentic Minnesota outdoor experience.

Wonderful place to camp. Owners very nice and helpful. Has full hookups which is a plus. Have large pull through sites which is wonderful for bigger campers. Definitely would stay here again. Only slightly bad thing was the price. A little more than we normally pay. Still would highly recommend this place!

Swan Lake is adorable. Run by a young family who lives full-time on premises, this is a must for families!! Great sandy beach with paddle boards, canoes and kayaks at no cost. Boat launch + docking available. We were in the RV section, it was quiet and about 15 minutes out of town. Swan Lake is quiet and full of fish that are easy to catch from the kayak! They had an organized kickball game, movi... Swan Lake is adorable. Run by a young family who lives full-time on premises, this is a must for families!!

Swan Lake is quiet and full of fish that are easy to catch from the kayak! They had an organized kickball game, movie night, disc golf and a workout path on the property.

"Rooms" is irrelevant since this is a campground. "Service" - there is a recreation hall on the property as well as some other amenities. I went here for a birthday party with my daughter, and needed to use the restroom, but the women's room was dirty. Both toilets were disgusting, and I ended up leaving to go home and use my own toilet, which was quite unfortunate. Location is amazing and it is b...

If the bathrooms were kept clean, it would be fantastic.
