This campground was just what we needed for out Nor' Shore adventure.  We ended up staying in a basic site without sewer hook up but for 2 nights that was not supposed to be a big deal.  The basic sites are right off Hwy 66, the full hook-up sites are further back, and seemed bigger in general.  Having lived in Duluth for a few years we had our regular things to do planned but getting snow (in early Oct!) caused us to change it up a bit.  One of those changes involved wandering down to Black Beach (right next to the campground) for the first time and it was awesome; cannot believe in all my trip up the shore I had never been.  That night the snow moved in and we had an great evening around the fire while the snow fell.  We also ended up doing the Alpine Slide at Lutsen and hanging out in Grand Marais the next day.  Before heading to Duluth for a day, we had to use the city RV sewer dump area that is just a couple miles into Silver Bay since we did not get a spot with full hook-ups.  The problem was when we got up there it was not working. And by "not working" I mean it was flooded with nasty-nasty "brown" water.  We didn't want to drive +200 miles with the tanks full so we went back to the campground and dumped in a full hook-up site that was empty.

PROS:  Great location for hitting all the North Shore hot spots.

Reasonable rates

Very clean

Full Hook-up sites are available, and are further off the highway and bigger

Right next to the very unique and cool Black Beach

Right in Silver Bay so option for groceries and restaurants

CONS: City RV sewer dump is not a bad alternative to no onsite dump, but only if it works!

The basic sites are right off Hwy 66 (which was not too bad all things considered), smaller and close together
