RangerThe view of the bay is amazing. Also, great spot to access artesian spring water. Campground is not private at all, but everyone is friendly.
ScoutMyself, my wife and one of my best buddies came here after looking on The Dyrt. It’s a beautiful spot, we are currently here in warmer weather, but surrounded by snow. Theres plenty of woods/dead things to burn meaning the fire never goes out. It is very clean and an overall beautiful area. We are very happy we decided to take a visit here and definitely will be coming back. I highly recommend.
LegendNestled along the North shore of beautiful Lake Superior in the City of Two Harbors, Minnesota. You can rent kayaks, paddle boards or bicycles from local vendors or hike on our paved and unpaved City trail system as you explore the area. You can pick agates, go fishing, or boating or visit one of our local shops and museums. All sites have a picnic table and fire ring. Campground has bathrooms, shower facilities, and Wi-Fi.
A little close to hwy 61 so be prepared for road noise.
LegendAmazing state park; one of my favorites! I try to come here every year, but it is hard to snag a spot. Love the hiking trails and how accessible the waterfall is. Campground has bathrooms and showers as well as potable water. Firewood is available at the state park office as well as any items you may have forgotten to bring such as miscellaneous toiletries and some food items. Highly recommend this park.
GuideWhat can I say? It's gooseberry falls. Hiking trails, waterfalls, river's and sight seeing. Close to the North shore beach, close to Duluth, close to adventure. We have come here many times in the past and will continue to come here. My 5 year old thoroughly enjoyed the waterfall and relaxing on the north shore beach.
We stayed here on May 25th in site #58 and it was close to the other 2 sites but also was separated by some trees. The facilities were clean and so was the rest of the campground. It's extremely well maintained and we will always keep this as an option for a weekend get away. Weather was great and we look forward to coming back.
GuideWe were happy to find a view site for our 25' RV on the lower loop. Our site had good separation from others. Nice and quiet except for the guy who had to run his toy car up and down the campground road. We were able to walk to town easily and enjoyed exploring Bayfield and the Apostle Island Lakeshore. Electric at the site, water accessible at 2 points within the campground.
GuideI stayed here in late October. The campground was officially closed at this point in time, but they were still allowing you to stay here at the remarkably low rate of $10 per night. The bathrooms were closed and locked, but there was a single porta potty by the marina. The water was supposed to have been turned off but it wasn't. They're still closing up for the winter. But, the place was essentially empty. I saw one or two other campers in this huge area. So I had lots of space and privacy. It's within walking distance to downtown, which was wonderful. And, on the other side, away from town, there are some hiking trails for your morning stretch. I was able to take my dog off leash in the sledding area for a bit. I'm not sure if that's within the rules, but it didn't bother anybody because there was nobody to bother. The trails take you up to an overlook that allows you to look out over the town and watch the sun come up. You're within a very short driving distance of several ski/hiking areas in the national Forest. Also. I can't speak to how the place would be in the summer when it's busy, but it certainly was a good value for me in October.
