Anglers and wildlife watchers find primitive camping opportunities at Ottawa SFL within Ottawa State Fishing Lake And Wildlife Area. The state-managed campground features pit toilets but no electric hookups or water access, requiring campers to pack in supplies and pack out all trash.
The Willow Loop offers wooded sites where bird calls and bullfrog sounds replace traffic noise. Campers often have loops to themselves as day-use fishing visitors come and go. For additional camping choices, see campgrounds around Minneapolis. The facility operates from spring through fall and works best for self-sufficient campers comfortable with basic amenities.
