Lodging

The historic Kettle Falls Hotel offers lodging within the park. Often called the "Jewel in the Wilderness," Kettle Falls is accessible by boat, floatplane, and snowmobile. It is a concession-operated complex that includes a dining room, bar and rooms in the historic 1912 motel and modern housekeeping villas. Kettle Falls offers a portage between Rainy Lake and Namakan Lake; gasoline can also be purchased.

The gateway communities of Ash River, Crane Lake, International Falls and Kabetogama Lake offer a range of facilities including motels, cabins, Bed and Breakfast Inns and campgrounds.

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources operates the Woodenfrog State Forest Campground on Lake Kabetogama and the Ash River Campground on Ash River.

Camping:
There are over 150 boat-in campsites distributed throughout the park designed for either tent camping or houseboats. Designated tent sites have a mooring post, tent pad or level area, fire ring, privy, picnic table and bear-proof food-storage locker. Houseboat sites include two mooring posts and a fire ring. In addition to the designated sites, there are approximately 400 traditionally-used sites available to campers. There are currently no fees, permits, or reservation requirements; camping is on a first-come, first-served basis.
