Setting
Camp Cook is a single rustic campsite situated on a large grassy clearing along the Fishdam River in the Hiawatha National Forest. Located at a historic Civilian Conservation Corps camp, the site accommodates up to 24 people for individual or group gatherings. A vault toilet is on site, but drinking water is not provided. The adjacent river is popular for brook trout fishing. While there is no swimming at the site, a public beach is located two miles away at Camp 7 Lake Campground. Supply stores sit nine miles northeast in the Thunder Lake area.
