South Carlson Pond Campground

South Carlson Pond Campground is a backcountry campsite on the Superior Hiking Trail in Cook County, Minnesota, accommodating up to 6 tents.

Note that the beaver pond that historically served as the water source has been drained due to dam failure; water must be obtained from Carlson Creek crossing approximately a quarter mile north on the trail.

The campsite is situated on a slight hill and offers access to nearby hiking routes including North Carlson Pond (2. 2 miles) and other Superior Hiking Trail destinations.
