What campers say

Savanna Portage State Park offers scenic, quiet camping with extensive trails, good cross‑country skiing and interpretive routes like the Continental Divide and historic portage. Campground sites (some with lake views) and backpacking shelters are popular; Loon Lake features a small beach and fishing access. Visitors note excellent fall color, solitude and frequent wildlife sightings. Practical tradeoffs include limited cell service and occasional reports of dated or limited facilities—some mention intermittent water issues or insect/caterpillar nuisances. Overall it’s a peaceful, off‑the‑beaten‑path park well suited to hiking, paddling, fishing and getting away from crowds.
