C0817

Oxbow Rustic Campground is a small, free USFS campground with 3 rustic campsites located along the Temperance River in the Superior National Forest.

The campground offers basic amenities including fire rings, picnic tables, and vault toilets, with no potable water available but river water access nearby.

This quiet, remote location serves as a good base camp for anglers and paddlers seeking access to the surrounding national forest, though the rugged approach road and grown-in sites mean fewer visitors than more developed area campgrounds.
