Available Nov 13–15 · 2 nights13 sites open for every nightA forested campground near fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.
Fenske is a convenient base for paddling and fishing it's on a Superior National Forest canoe circle route and close to Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness access points so canoeing and kayaking are especially popular here. Anglers use the ramp and pier for bass, northern pike, crappie and sunfish; wildlife viewing and birdwatching are common along the shoreline and in the surrounding forest.

















Length limits vary by campsite.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.
Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (3,994 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
