The Best Camping Near Lutsen, Minnesota

Best camping trip I ever had. Nice little shop inside to get groceries and souvenirs. Friendly owners! Kid friendly with games inside and ice cream.

Peaceful and great views of the lake and Canada!

So peaceful. 

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

Great BWCA "night before" spot

I love having a lakefront site so this place was perfect. The lake is beautiful! 

Beautiful lake side sites

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 Campground on the US & Canada Border

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.
