Awesome on the Trail

What a great place. Clean bathrooms if needed with showers. Many of the RV sites have lake access if not you just use the launch ramp. RV spots can be a little tight getting in and out for hook, but doable. Great supply store open during day. The “sisters” and crew are super hostesses! Mosquitos were horrible, but hey it’s MN in June. You never know.

Great Campground on the US & Canada Border

We visited this campground in June 2020 at the beginning of the pandemic. Services were pared back quite a bit, regardless we had a great time. Our 33' motorhome was able to fit nicely in a pull-through site and we rented a boat during our stay. The campground is in a very secluded part of the world, and it was very relaxing. It was worth the trip up the gunflint trail.

Great BWCA "night before" spot

We've stayed here everytime we go up to the BWCA. Typically we arrive on a Sunday night and then leave early Sunday AM for Gunflint outfitters down the road. The campsites are great and the staff is absolutely AMAZING! FYI, we tent camp. Haven't stayed in any of their lodges so I can't speak to that
