The Best Camping Near Moose Lake, Minnesota

This is a beautiful state park. It's quite large and has nice hiking trails. Agates are common in this area. The park office has a wonderful display of agates set up in an interactive gallery.

Beautiful State Park

Nice bathrooms and showers! Cool agate museum! Close to Duluth

Clean, quiet. Friendly staff.

Nice campsites not too far from the lake. Not a ton of hiking but the trails that are there are nice. Good fishing right off shore. 

Nice little park

I came out of the BWCA near Grand Marais late in the day and so wanted to stop somewhere to camp as I headed south before dark. There were plenty of spots available online at this little park. It was clean and the campsites were fine—could see my neighbors without much tree cover though.

If the weather had been better when I woke up I would have hiked some trails or paddled the lake. Next time!

Nice Stop Along the Way

We camped here mid-week and the place was not full so it was quiet and sites have trees and shrubs for some privacy. We saw a Baltimore Oriole which is something we don't see often in Northern MN.

Quiet Place

Great spot! The campsite host was helpful for local fire rules and helping to point out water spouts. The trails are nice walking trails with picturesque views of the lake. Campsite fee was $23, vehicle registration $7 for the day, firewood $6 for the day. Main cabin was closed for the season but they have a self service pay station. They have sites with power and without, we chose a site without power but we are close to the bathroom and the showers aren’t far from us. 

Gorgeous lake, easy trails, & friendly camp host

Small, roughly 35 sites. Some electric some non-electric. Campground has multiple vault toilets and 1 bath house. 

Small primitive campground

Nice little state park close to the cities. Had about 30 sites with k this electric and non electric options. Good variety of sites. Lots of birds here…not a bad thing but it was nice when they woke you up in the morning to their songs! I would recommend coming during the week not the weekend as it is a little slower. 

Simple but small

Very well laid out campground with large sites. 
Unbelievable AGATE MUSEUM at the main entrance. 
Men’s bathroom was very clean and showers worked great. 
Nice well groomed trails, well maintained campsites and campgrounds. 
Tall pines trail is beautiful, not real long. 
Nice picnic area on the trail across the blacktop road.
