Totally worth it

The private well-spaced sites just a stone’s throw from 75 ft. dunes overlooking Lake Superior’s colored rock shoreline made this campground a family favorite. Sullen video-weary kids were transformed into naturalists in mere seconds once we set foot on the beach. Even with no running water or electric, and (surprisingly clean) pit toilets, this campground was totally worth the extra steps to make our visit a lifelong memory. The private lake view was just what we were looking for and the colorful beach rocks kept us combing the shores for hours even as sunset twilight still lingered after 10:00 PM. If the beauty of nature in a non-crowded setting is your goal, then this is a great campground to visit. Wife said, “I can feel myself unwinding on this beach. I could stay here all week.” We’ll be back.
