Poplar River Rustic Campground offers free, first-come, first-served access to four riverside campsites along the Poplar River in Superior National Forest, with all sites featuring direct river access.

The campground includes fire pits, picnic tables, and a pit toilet, though potable water is not available and all garbage must be packed out.

Located on the Honeymoon Trail (FR 164) accessible via well-maintained dirt roads from either Tofte or Lutsen, the campground operates May 10 through October 1 and serves as a good base for fishing, paddling, and exploring nearby lakes and forest trails.
