Welcome to George H. Crosby Manitou State Park Campground, nestled near Silver Bay, MN. This place is a haven for those who crave a rustic and remote camping experience. The campground is open year-round, offering a peaceful retreat no matter the season.
The sites here are primitive, perfect for those who enjoy a bit of solitude. You won't find electric hookups or showers, but you will find drinking water and toilets. Fires are allowed, so you can still enjoy a cozy campfire under the stars. Pets are welcome too, so feel free to bring your furry friends along.
One of the standout features of this campground is its hike-in and walk-in access, which means you'll need to be prepared to carry your gear a bit. But trust me, the effort is worth it. The trails can be steep and muddy, especially after rain, but they lead to some truly serene spots. Site 3, for example, is right by a creek and offers the soothing sounds of flowing water. It's a bit of a trek, but the beauty and tranquility make it worthwhile.
Visitors have raved about the peacefulness and natural beauty of the area. The park boasts at least one waterfall, and possibly more, which are definitely worth exploring. The hiking club trail is also nearby, offering more opportunities for adventure.
If you're into stargazing, this is a fantastic spot. One camper mentioned seeing tons of shooting stars during a meteor shower. And if you're lucky, you might even spot some wildlife. Just be cautious with your food and hang your bear bag properly.
In summary, George H. Crosby Manitou State Park Campground is a fantastic spot for those who love rustic camping and don't mind a bit of a hike to get to their site. It's quiet, beautiful, and offers a true escape into nature.
