4 Reviews of Moskey Basin Campground
Quiet and Scenic
We could see the water from all shelters, But in 1 the shelter isn't as exposed as there are trees at the shoreline to block the wind.
There are outhouses, but no potable water at the site.
Amazing views with private campsites
Great lakeshore access, plenty of wildlife viewing, great campsite all around!
Secluded, tranquil bay
This was by far my favorite campground (that we stayed at.) We got a shelter right on the bay, and it was secluded enough from the other campers to the point where we could walk out to the water and clean ourselves nude without having peeping toms. The nights were cold and clear, and very still, with the occasional loon call. There is a dock a short hike east, connected to the campground, with plenty of places to relax and enjoy nature. We saw beaver, river otters (?), and hares here, as well as plenty of birds, including nesting loons.
Campsites, shelter, and a short walk to Lake Superior
This campground was very nice -- lots of trees for protection and privacy from the neighbors, plus a shelter for rainy nights (or lazy nights when you don't want to set up your tent!). Tent sites have picnic tables. The water source is just a short walk away to Lake Superior, where there is a long L-shaped pier, a great place to watch the ducks, look for moose, and watch the sun rise and set.
