Anyone have a list or know off the top of their head some lakes that have free first come first serve camping sites? Ive been to an island on Chippewa Flowage in WI and am looking for something in MN. I hear Vermillion has some and I bleieve ive seen them on Cut Foot Sioux as well. Are there many others lakes? I have a 16.5 ft Lund tyee 90 horse so it can handle large lakes some of the time so a smaller lake would be preferable. Any suggestions would be great!

Huum? I have never been to or seen, a free state or National ran campground anywhere that was free? They all seem to have drop boxes. And I have been to some in the middle of no where that only had 2-3 sites as well as some of the bigger ones.

Yeah, I missed the "free" part of his post. Still a pretty good deal on some nice sites smile

You can camp in state forests for free -

Camping

DNR Forestry asks all overnight campers to help protect state forests by only using designated campsites. Camping on forest lands outside of developed campgrounds is allowed with some conditions. No permit is required. If camping outside of designated areas, please practice the "leave no trace" camping ethic.

But I would call the local forest manager for the area you're going to camp in ahead of time for any restrictions.

All of the boat in sites in Voyagers are "FREE"! The only drop box is for you just to tell them who you are, and where you think you are going! It's alot of water, so you better have a good idea as to the area. All are first come . . . sheesh!

The campsites I'm refering to are very similar to the ones inside the BWCA. The ones I'm familiar with are accessible by boat or in the winter, over the ice. It is not a campground, just a campsite with a firegrate and a latrine. Maybe check out the National Forests HSOforum to find a map of these sites.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
