Beach on site

Huge site with many trees for our hammocks. The mosquitoes were ravenous but we had a screen tent. The toilets were really clean. It was a delight to have a beach right at our site. This campground is off the beaten path so was extra dark and quiet.

Decent campground

Good dirt roads going on, only a couple pot holes. Has good lake access for boats/pups, and nice shading in the trees. Medium amount of mosquitoes

Private, large sites, well maintained

I secured a first-come first-served site after calling a few other places, and we were pleasantly surprised by this campground. The sites were all a good size and surrounded by trees. I could barely see any of our neighbors, they were far away and kept from view. Bathrooms are clean and management is really kind and helpful. The lake is beautiful, with a little beach and swimming area! Reserve far in advance for a lakeside site—they’re gorgeous and all pretty large! Know that there’s about a 10mi gravel road that takes you to the campground. We bought firewood at a place on Hwy 1 for $5 a bundle.

Beautiful place to camp!

Our campsite was right on the water. The trail around the lake was beautiful for hiking. We also checked out the short trail across the road and it was really nice. They have water as well as kayak, canoe and boat rentals which we didn't use but I thought it was nice.

Awesome place to camp!

Ninemile Lake Campground seems to be the gem that no one knows about. I've stayed there multiple times and it has remained my favorite campground. The campground is located in the Superior National Forest along County Road 7 North of Finland, Minnesota. There are 20+ campsites available, with about half with direct lake access. Drinking water is available from the east side of the campground. There is also a landing for boats to be put into the lake and taken out. The campsites near the lake are gorgeous and offer a nice view of the lake. All of the campsites are perfect for tent camping, and all should fit RV's. The campsites may look small at first, but once you enter them you will find that many have passageways that lead to a clearing. Each site has the standard picnic table and fire ring. There is firewood for sale, and boat, kayak, and canoe rentals available.

The lake is beautiful, but not very exciting to swim in because it is quite muddy. There are 3 islands on the lake which I like to explore after a short kayak ride. One of the islands has some large boulders that offer a nice view of the sunset. Ninemile Lake got it's name because it is nine miles away from Lake superior! The fishing was decent, but the long winter a couple of years ago killed off many of the fish. I believe it was recently restocked.
Ninemile Lake is within driving distance of the Superior Hiking Trail as well as many other trails. There is a hiking trail about a mile long just across the road from the campsite entrance, which also crosses a four wheeling trail.
I found plenty of things to do while staying at Ninemile Lake Campground, and I would recommend it to all types of people who appreciate the outdoors.
