East Poplar River Campground

East Poplar River Campground is a rustic, free campground in Superior National Forest with four sites offering direct river access for fishing and recreation.

All sites feature fire pits and picnic tables with paths down to the Poplar River, though amenities are minimal (pit toilet only, no potable water, no garbage service).

The campground is open May 10–October 1 on a first-come, first-served basis and is accessed via approximately 15 miles of well-maintained dirt road from Highway 61.
