Birch Lake Site 5

About this site

Birch Lake Campground is located on the shore of Birch Lake in the Superior National Forest near Ely, Minnesota. The campground features 30 shaded campsites organized into two loops, each with a picnic table, tent pad, and campfire ring with grill. Sites are well-separated by dense forest and located near the water. The north loop includes a group site accommodating up to 45 people with eight back-in parking spurs and an open play area. The south loop has two camper cabins. Amenities include vault toilets, a solar-powered hand-pump well for drinking water, and a boat launch. Fourteen backcountry campsites are also available on Birch Lake. The campground is open mid-May through late September. Fishing, boating, and canoeing are popular activities. Most sites can accommodate moderately sized vehicles; pull-through sites are not available.
