The place
the agency’s own description · what’s there
In the agency’s own words
Stevens Lake Campground is a great place for those interested in fishing. The 300-acre lake is moderately good for walleye, northern pike, and panfish. It is also a popular campground for fall hunters. Located in a mixed stand of aspen and sugar maple, five of the six units have a scenic view of the lake. Stevens Lake is located about 23.6 miles west of Florence. From the north intersection of Highway 139 and Highway 70, drive west 3 miles on Hwy 70 to FR 2424. Turn left (south) on FR 2424 and drive 3.3 miles to Stevens Lake campground. Click here to print an information sheet including a map about Stevens Lake Campground.

recreation.gov publishes no availability for a campground you can’t reserve, so there’s no thirty-night reading to draw here. The season bar above is what the agency does publish.

What you actually pay
Derived by CAMPANAC: the lowest per-night amount the agency’s fee record states ($15), and no booking fee, because this campground takes no reservations. A weekend here means Friday and Saturday night. Optional charges (an extra vehicle, a second tent, a dump-station fee) are listed separately and aren’t in this total.
