Starting November 15, 2024, at 9 a.m. CST, you can reserve overnight tent camping and houseboat permits for the 2025 summer season at Voyageurs National Park. Reservations for dates after May 8, 2025, can be made online at www.recreation.gov or by calling the National Call Center at (877) 444-6777.

For 2025, there are two key updates. First, a shorter booking window of one week has been added for ten campsites across the park to accommodate last-minute planners. These sites will open for reservations on a rolling basis, seven days before each date.

  • Rainy Lake (west end): Mio Beach R64 and Nuthatch R21
  • Rainy Lake (east end): Jack Pine Bench R55 and Hitchcock R105
  • Kabetogama Lake: Fox Farm K50 and Round Bear K29
  • Namakan Lake: Johnson Bay N13 and Hammer Bay South N59
  • Sand Point Lake: South Island S17 and Feldt Channel S5

The second change is that the use of canoes stationed at all backcountry lakes along the Cruiser Lake trail network will now automatically come with overnight backcountry camping reservations. This change ensures access to all related campsite amenities and supports visitor expectations for seclusion in these remote areas.

Stay updated by following Voyageurs National Park on Facebook, and visit the park’s website for additional information:

All fees collected from overnight stays stay at Voyageurs National Park, directly enhancing the user experience. These funds help keep sites clean and maintained, and support upgrades to amenities like tent pads, docks, bear-proof food lockers, restrooms, picnic tables, fire rings, mooring aids, trails, backcountry facilities, and interpretive displays at key visitor spots.

Any information on any effort at Voyageurs to honor deceased Rnger Kevin Grossheim?

I meant some tangible, permanent honor like naming a campsite after him, or one of the visitor centers, or a memorial plaque/garden...something like that.

 

What a tragedy.
