Lake Superior Cart-in Campground — Tettegouche State Park

Though they had carts, we backpacked in and found ourselves on the ridge of Lake Superior. A bear locker, fire ring and the lake were perfect company for two nights. Serene, dark as dark can be, clear skies over the calm lake, dreaming.

This is one of my favorite MN campsites. We stayed in a cart-in site: the cart worked well, the restroom/shower was clean, the site was beautiful and we were able to get down to a little rock beach by the water, it was also easy to book online. There is plenty to do at this park between hiking and spending time by the water. Again, it is beautiful throughout and I loved being immersed in the environment.

Love this park. Great cart in sites. Convenient rest stop office. You will need to grab wood and with some sites, like G, waterfront is not easily accessible or kid friendly. Site G is an extremely steep climb down. We had to harness the dogs and it took two of us to lower them down. That being said, it has a private beach when you get down. Bring the bucket and the water filter. This site is fully covered. Plenty of tree coverage against the lake and elements. It has a bear box, table, and fire pit. The bathroom is close.
