About
This small four site campground is on the shore of Section 29 Lake, which is of course located in section 29 of a township. This campground is available to visitors on a first come/ first served basis. OHV ride in and ride out opportunities are available at this campground. While it doesn't have the most romantic of names, this lake does have a boat ramp and walleyes and northern pike. It is also only a short drive to several other small lakes, most with carry down access. The northeast portion of Section 29 Lake was involved in the 2011 Pagami Creek Fire. While open to the public, it is recommended that if you go on shore in the fire area, you exercise caution. Many standing burnt trees are potential deadfalls, and impacts from walking can harm the delicate post fire soil and regenerating plants. There is no garbage pick up at Section 29 Rustic Campground. Plan to pack out all your garbage, including fish remains from cleaning fish.
