Fort Charlotte Backcountry Campgrounds in MN -- Campground & RV Camping

Located at the Pigeon River end of Grand Portage National Monument along the U.S.–Canada border, this remote site consists of two backcountry primitive campsites. The grounds are accessible only by foot or watercraft via hiking trails and the Pigeon River. Each campsite accommodates up to nine people.

Getting there: Fort Charlotte is reached by canoeing down the Pigeon River from South Fowl Lake or hiking up the Grand Portage footpath from the historic depot/heritage center area on Grand Portage Bay of Lake Superior. An alternative entry to the Grand Portage footpath can be accessed by driving up County Road 17 to the trailhead where Old Highway 61 intersects the portage.

• Well separated here, a 2-site campground with the nearest through road 0.9 miles off.
