On the Gunflint Trail, close to Grand Marais
If you want easy access to Grand Marais, but want to be in a quieter location just up the Gunflint Trail, this campsite will be for you. It is small, quiet, and very rustic. A main draw is trout fishing, and their is a trail around the lake. You could make this a base for day trips up and donw the North Shore, or further into the interior of the Superior National Forest. Campsites are wooded and have a fire ring and area to set up tents, there is a good boat access, the usual Forest Service privvies are available, and there is water. In terms of a destination campground in and of itself it is not my favorite of those along the Gunflint, but the proximity to Grand Marais is definitely a plus. We are tent campers and the sites are ok for that, some of the sites can accomodate trailers, but I’m not sure if the space and lack of hookups would be of interest to RV’s
