The Best Camping Near Grand Portage, Minnesota

Grand Portage Lodge and Casino is not what I imagine as a place to pitch a tent, but right next to the marina is an RV park and a bunch of spots for tents. I'm not a gambler so this is not normally a destination for me, but it is the best place to camp to make it to the Ferry by 6:30 a.m. the next morning to be transported to a paradise in Isle Royale National Park.

The nice thing about the campground is that you sit on a hill and look out at lake superior. There is a large gas station next to the marina where you can make phone calls at a pay phone (There is no cell service) and get some last minute treats before you head out on the boat.

This is the place to stay if you are going to Isle Royale National Park from Minnesota.

Nice campground but we like trees and not open view except wonderful view of Lake Superior.

Close to the casino ...a walk away.

Open space to view Lake Superior

This is a nice campsite. Not very private no trees or shade but I guess it’s not really needed when you’re on Lake Superior. It’s mid June and the high is 60. You get to enjoy all the amenities of the lodge and casino. The view is very nice.

Tent camping. 

Most sites have a view of the water, but this campground has a very specific purpose to this area, and it's not for long term camping. I mean, you can, but there isn't much glamour here. 

The good part... They have electric, the bathroom is close, you can take a shower and even do laundry! In the summer, my husband says it's fun to people watch here (he's stayed before), but this time of year, it's quieter. The slips and dock are right in front as well as the camp office. The casino is an easy walk, and since you are so close to the border, you can exchange your money as well (Canadian to USD and vice versa). 

We didn't know in advance, but paying for the campground allows you free use of the pool inside the casino! 

Now, the ugly party.. The price. It was about $45 for an electric site. I think tents were about $20. While it did come with the amenities mentioned above, there is no privacy at any of the sites. The back row sits against the trees, but that's as good as it gets. 

Bottom line, it's a good stopping spot near the border where you can plug in and swim, but not great if you want privacy or upscale. 

I'd stay here again, but probably opt for a tent site to save some money if I could make do off the grid.

Nothing wrong, but nothing fancy

There was literally nowhere to camp in the area. The hotels were full too. And this was in the middle of the week! We stayed in a tent site right next to the marina. There was goose poop everywhere. It’s supposed to be first come first serve and the rules seem to change, a lot. The view was great, it was fun to watch the fisherman and be so close to the water. The shower was pretty clean and I did a load of laundry as well. I wouldn’t make this a destination and I was grateful to get the spot I got.￼￼￼ they gave me a Wi-Fi password but it didn’t work.￼


It’s okay

We have been here five days and it has been great.  We have what I consider the best site in the park (#12). We have a great view of the harbor and the lake. The sites are really spaced out. The grounds are not manicured (the grass under our picnic table is knee high).  However, I was able to overlook that because of the peace and tranquillity and the great view. Last night we cooked some locally caught fish over a wood fire and today we were able to go to Isle Royale. The dock is five minutes away. I will be sad to leave tomorrow, but we will be back. 

Great place to relax  

The RV park, lodge and casino, and a gas station/store are on a reservation with convenient access to the ferry that takes you to Isle Royale. It is conveniently located three miles away. There are standard and premium sites. The premium sites have a better view of the marina and the lake. 

  

When it is not foggy you can see Isle Royale. The sites and bathrooms are just average. The hookups all work well, but the fire pits and tables are fairly old and the maintenance of the park is just ok.

Great Views.....Average RV Park
