What campers say
Brule River State Forest centers on the scenic Bois Brule, a Lake Superior tributary prized for trout and steelhead fishing and paddling. Wooded campsites (Copper Range among them) provide basic facilities and canoe launches; sites can feel close together and restroom facilities are vault/pit-style. Short hikes like the Stony Hill Loop offer pleasant views but can be buggy and have limited overlook visibility. The river's sandbar and delta create distinctive shoreline access for wading and wildlife viewing. Staff are reported as helpful. Overall it's a strong choice for anglers, kayakers and nature-oriented campers willing to accept rustic amenities.
