Lake Superior State Forest Campground
Reviewed Sep. 2, 2022

Best spot around UP

This place is always packed but we were lucky enough to find a free spot on a Saturday afternoon. Grand Marais is very close if you need gas, firewood or an awesome burger from the best burger in Grand Marie (can’t miss these).

All spots in this campground are on the side of Lake Superior which is a short walk away. All campgrounds have a fire pit and a picnic table. Restrooms are available if you’re brave enough as well as refuse site for trash and a water pump.

Campsites are very close together.

Bugs, speally flies are a pain in the behind but this is always expected. I think a cooler weather camping would be preferrable.

Sunsets are incredible at the beach, water is very cold but its worth a dip. Lots of beautiful rocks. If you’re into rocks, bring a blacklight you may be lucky enough to find yooperlites.

Just a heads up, the slower you go on those county dirt roads the more you’ll feel the rattles, so speed up and volume up.
