C0491

Oxbow Rustic Campground is a small, free USFS campground with only 3 sites located in the Superior National Forest's Tofte Ranger District along the Temperance River, offering a quiet, no-frills base for anglers and paddlers seeking remote access to the national forest.

Basic amenities include fire rings, picnic tables, and vault toilets, but no potable water—campers can treat water from the nearby river or access it via Forest Road 600 just north of the campground.

The rugged approach road and grown-in sites keep visitor numbers low, making it a good option when more developed campgrounds are full, though the campground typically operates May 15 through October 1.
