Buying a lake camp? Ask about year-round use, winter road access, septic, and water, and remember that clearing or building within 250 feet of a lake larger than 10 acres may need a state shoreland permit. Confirm whether you're buying the land as well as the camp. Our second home guide covers what to check.
