5. Bearskin Lodge
1 Review•8 Photos•1 SaveBearskin Lodge operates the East Bearskin Lake Campground on behalf of the US Forest Service. Bearskin Lodge is responsible for all its operations from May 1st through November 1st. The Campground is located on the shores of East Bearskin Lake, with many camping sites right on the water. East Bearskin Lake offers excellent fishing, swimming, boating/canoeing, waterfalls, BWCAW entry points, and world-class scenery.
East Bearskin Lake Campground has 32 campsites offering privacy and comfort. Tent camping and RV camping are permitted. All sites have picnic tables and fire rings. Like most Forest Service campgrounds, this is highly forested. There are no electrical hookups, nor is there an RV dump station at the campground or the resort. There are new vault toilet buildings and access to a solar-driven water pump. Showers are not available, although a refreshing swim in East Bearskin Lake will frequently do the trick.
Many people find this campground to be a good alternative to actual BWCAW camping, especially for people with younger kids or who need to have a vehicle nearby. The campground offers easy daily access to the Boundary Waters, without having to portage everything in.
The staff at nearby Bearskin Lodge will be happy to answer questions for you. Basic groceries, firewood, bait/tackle, ice, gifts, postcards, and boat/canoe rentals are available at Bearskin Lodge. However, the other amenities at Bearskin Lodge are for resort guests only and are not part of the National Forest Service campground facilities.
All campsites at the East Bearskin Lake Campground are $18.00 per night. One vehicle is included; an additional vehicle is $8.00. There is a limit of 8 people and 2 vehicles per site. If you registered online, you have paid your fees; if you are a drive-in camper, register and pay immediately after arrival. Campers who have not paid within 1 hour of arrival, or by 1 PM each day, forfeit their campsites.
Pets are allowed in the campground and the camper cabins, as long as they are quiet, well-behaved, and do not run free. The few campground complaints we get each summer almost always involve dogs in the campground. Be a good neighbor if you camp with your pets.

LARGE campground! Right on Lake Superior. Sites are close together. Some nicely located TENT sites by the lake, can hear the waves. Very easy walk on paved trail into town. Men’s bathroom was very clean. Showers are in great shape.

Northwoods Haven
When everything along the north shore was full up, this campground had 25 open sites! They were beautiful and spread out over several big loops. Clean toilettes, accessible boat launch on lake, potable water, trash and recycling area… a total gem!

Nice park across from Lake Superior
Great location. Well kept facilities. ONE THING TO KNOW… you must fill your fresh tanks for RV near the dump station. There is no water at the sites. The primitive toilets are just that, but the showers are awesome. Enclosed are some cliff and cave shots taken from Kayak on Superior

Gunflint Pines Resort and Campground
Awesome on the Trail
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.

Ski/snowshoe in cabin
Stayed at the new ski/snowshoe in cabin. Cute little cabin with everything you need plus whatever you can carry on your back/sled. Cabin is equipped with firewood and a wood burning stove. There is a little outhouse right outside of the cabin. The main lodge is where you park your car, and there is a hot tub available to reserve if you are staying in one of the main cabins or the showshoe in cabin. The snowshoe in trail is a little hilly, so be prepared to do some work getting in, especially if you are pulling a gear sled like we did! Required a little teamwork to avoid being run downhill by the sled. We slept three people in the cabin, one on each bunk and one on the floor. Recommend putting the person who gets hot easily on the floor and the one who gets cold easily up on the top bunk. I get hot easily and was up top and had to cuddle with my water bladder to keep cool overnight.

BP#2 lovely and secluded
Loved the two nights spent at backpacking site #2. It was very secluded, couldn’t hear/see anyone at any point during our time at the campsite. It has a covered wooden structure, good sized bear box, picnic table, and fire ring. There is also a pit toilet ~50 feet from the campsite, though was in pretty rough shape so did not use that but didn’t really mind since most backpacking sites don’t have this luxury anyway and was not expecting to have a toilet in the first place. The campsite sits atop Moose “Mountain,” which is about a mile hike in from the group site parking lot. Don’t underestimate this hike in!! We are two people in our 20s and in pretty good shape, but with ~35lbs of gear on your back with a very steady incline up, definitely had to take a couple breaks. It was pretty rainy so there were some muddy spots that were relatively easy to avoid. With that being said, it was definitely worth it given the seclusion and privacy of this campsite. If able and willing to put in the extra effort, I would recommend the backpacking sites over the drive-in sites as I have heard they can be pretty cramped. Overall, very happy with BP#2 will definitely be back!

Grand Marais Campground & Marina
Comfortable despite being crowded
Stayed here on my way to Isle Royale and had a wonderful night. I booked an electric site (#233) to charge and camp in my Tesla, which worked out great. It was crowded on a Thursday night (August 17th) but it got really quiet after dark. I had plenty of space at my site and didn’t mind that the other sites were close by. Bugs weren’t bad, but I used spray, a citronella candle, and a Thermacell for protection. The women’s bathrooms were clean, and firewood was available at the office (I think a bundle was $6). Very pet friendly- my dog was relaxed here. Loved the location next to town, which was a beautiful walk during sunset (and I highly recommend getting coffee at Java Moose in the morning). Night skies are beautiful, especially on the water. A little pricey with all the fees (a $43 site turned into $60). I booked my site over a month in advance and there were only a few spots available, so don’t delay!
Deb M.RangerGrand Marais Campground & Marina
At least it’s close to the lake…
Large campground with many many sites, both RV and tent that are crammed close together. The best part about it is how close it is to the lake and how easy it is to access the rock beaches. The bathrooms are clean and modern. However, if your site happens to be next to a loud, obnoxious group, it can be a pretty miserable experience. Also, watch out for the hoards of kids on bikes, both when walking and driving! :)
Lauri J.GuideCascade River State Park
Disappointing
I will start out by saying this was partly my fault but I think the situation was handled poorly.
I was not planning on staying in the area another day but was enjoying the north shore so I stopped in and asked if there were any cancellations. I was told yes so I paid for the site. Ran up the road grabbed some ice and came back and there was someone setting up on the site I paid for. The camp host said I was not in system even though I could show the credit card receipt. So they said they could move me to an overflow site. Ok fine. But that site was so far away from a bathroom and even further from the shower space.
I took it made the most of my night. But the frustration is with these booking on line issues every campsite I have been to they have sites that sit open with no one ever using them. I’m assuming this is because it does not update fast enough. I’m driving through the camp at 5am the next morning there were 5-10 empty sites. They were empty at 10pm the night before and still empty at 5:30 am. I think it costs the state $$ and for sure causes folks who are on road trips to miss out on nice places to stay.
This campground was clean and the shower/bath station was very clean.
Close to some neat hiking.

Flour Lake Campground
Peaceful and spacious
The campsite was fine. #7. We had really close neighbors, though. Our tents were pretty well back to back, and the guy snored loudly. Vault toilets that got pretty ripe. Mosquitoes as thick as fog. The gravel road has sinkholes you can break an axle in. Wifi available at the lodge, but be gone by 6pm, because they will come up to your car slapping their flashlight in their palm and kick you out. Beautiful lake with some nice smallmouth.

Back again—worth it!
I was here a while back and decided to give it another whirl during a fall trip to Grand Marais/Gunflint. However a bit of difference this time:
-Online booking showed that it was first come first serve, so we decided to go ahead and try our luck.
-I came with my buddies during mid-late October and we were NOT expecting snowfall [light]
-We arrived and the campground was actually CLOSED for the season!! (Arrived October 19th)
-To our luck though, the owners of the campground (Golden Eagle Lodge) allow you to camp on campgrounds for free but no utilities (water or trash).
-We were still able to use the covered outhouse near our site.
-Virtually no other campers when we got there, but by Fri/Sat/Sun, RV campers started rolling in.
Of course, this experience was way different from my July visit (3 star rating), but considering the fact that the campground was still open when other campgrounds on Gunflint were not (no outhouse/water/trash), it was great because it was free.
-40ish minute drive from Grand Marais.
-Right by Gunflint Scenic Byway. Try to find some Moose!
Site #26 was huge and that’s where we stayed for the trip. Very secluded and near the trail to the lake. No Loons.

Out of the way
Nice campground that is out of the way from the other busier campgrounds. Enjoyed a night here. Very rustic but had some water spigots to get water from which was nice. Facilities were clean. Fairly private campsites so you are not bugged by your neighbors noise too much. Close to fishing and hiking and just far away from town to feel like you are on your own.

Clean, Rustic, Quiet, and Good Fising
Simple campground that did not have a ton of people when we stayed so it was pretty quiet at night. Had a great view of the stars and really enjoyed the peace. Fishing was good the one day we paddles, but there were a couple of boats out on the water. Had some great variety in the sites. I would stay in 32/33/34 first then look at 8/10/22/23.
Good clean campground.

Clean and Peaceful
Campground did not have that many people in it when I stayed a night here. The grounds were well kept with the fall leaves in full color. I only stayed a night as I was hoping between campgrounds, but I really did like the night here. The sites are fairly secluded which made it nice at night to see the stars and enjoy the fire. This is a rustic campground so no running water but the vaults were well kept. I did not make it to the lodge but it is close by and you can get showered up there and get a meal, which the people I met said they had done and it was worth it. I would say 36 and 37 were really good sites, but there are a lot to choose from depending on what you want and when you go. I would imagine the bugs are bad in the summer months but in the fall they were perfectly at bay. Site 26 is for sure the best site out of the group as it is the most secluded and you can get lost in there with the longer drive into the actual site.

East Bearskin Lake Campground
Beautiful Lake
Watched a YouTube video of someone reviewing this campground before heading up...thank you good sir. This campground is clean, simple, and amazingly located. If you are looking to get away from everything and just enjoy nature and go for a paddle or a hike this is the best place to do it. You can't go wrong really with any of the sites here but some are better than others. The campground has a couple loops that offer a variety of sites and some go quicker than other because of their proximity to the water and the views, but you should be able to get a site. You would probably be better served fitting a smaller camper in here or even just tent camping which seemed to be the popular way to go while I was there. I would highly recommend spending a couple nights here and recharging and connecting with nature!
They do have a couple cabins that looked pretty basic and during the buggier months might be better suited for some. All of the sites located in the front or near the water were my favorites, but even some of the sites away from the water were perfect as well.

Full Hookups Close to the Wilderness
Simple campground with full hookups. Pretty close together. Older campers accepted which is not the greatest (the one next was really run down and leaking some sort of stinky liquid). Close to the water which was great!

Flour Lake Campground
“OK” campground, overpriced
Flour lake was a nice little campground but I’ll lay out why I wasn’t too impressed with it:
-The price doesn’t reflect the campsite. It’s pricier than nearby campsites and the only reason why I booked it anyways was because it was open short notice. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have.
-Campsite #31 was well sized but I could hear and see people nearby. Not as secluded as I thought it was. Not spaced out like some other campsites i’ve been at
-Golden Eagle nearby has overpriced wood and charges for showers.
Pros:
-Loon songs -Lake access and nice spots for stargazing -Enclosed vault toilets were relatively clean -Nicely shaded sites
Tip: book site #26 if you can. It’s the best site on the grounds and most secluded!

Great Views.....Average RV Park
The RV park, lodge and casino, and a gas station/store are on a reservation with convenient access to the ferry that takes you to Isle Royale. It is conveniently located three miles away. There are standard and premium sites. The premium sites have a better view of the marina and the lake.
When it is not foggy you can see Isle Royale. The sites and bathrooms are just average. The hookups all work well, but the fire pits and tables are fairly old and the maintenance of the park is just ok.

A Bit Less Disappointing
We normally love it here, but this weekend it was like nobody cares about keeping up this campground any more. (Edited in May of ‘24 - it’s much better kept now….)Yes, it’s early in the year, but there were overflowing trash bins, no firewood, and no toilet paper in any of the outhouses. If you’re going to be open for camping, then at least provide the basic necessities that MN State Parks are known for. (It would take 15 minutes to throw some TP in the outhouses!) Too bad. Also edited to add that if site #16 is your site, the electrical box is on the opposite side of the site than normal, so be prepared to possibly need an extension cord. Very odd.
Jax L.GuideCascade River State Park
Campsite with beautiful views
This was one of my favorite campsites we’ve stayed at along the North Shore. It’s just off the SHT, there’s waterfalls to see on the hike up, and it’s located just off Lookout Mountain. This close access to Lookout Mt meant we got to enjoy our breakfast with a view of the sun rising over the lake and forests. It was secluded and quiet. We definitely can’t wait to camp here again.
