"This is one of the most beautiful campgrounds in northern Minnesota along the glorious shores of Lake Superior. The campsites are surrounded by plenty of wilderness to allow some privacy. "
"You fill with water near the restroom in the campground next to the bath house across from the dumpsters. From our site you can here the river flowing it’s so peaceful."

"The sites on the outside are more secluded but the ones in the middle are also nice. There is also a picnic area on the river and trails behind schedule some of the sites that lead to the river."

"We stayed a site 22 on the small lake in early June and loved it! There were other campers nearby for only 1 night, and we never much from them."

"One is very close to the highway and can get a bit noisy, but the other is a little closer to the beach. I would say anyone can camp here but it looks set up for bigger rigs."
"Beautiful beach in walking distance. Camp site lacks shade trees, but none the less has nice restrooms and showers. Lots to explore in the area, most a short drive away."
"Campground Review
Temperance River State Park is just off of scenic Highway 61 north of Duluth, Minnesota about 60 miles."
"We LOVE this campground, as it's an awesome place to to call home base for a bit and take day trips around the North Shore."

"Nice little campground just off of highway 61 heading up the north shore. We were able to find a walk in campsite on a Friday night which was nice. Bathrooms were in decent condition. "
"This is a state forest campground high on a ridge overlooking Lake Superior, just south of the Wolf Ridge ELC."
GuideWe stayed in site L for one night and had a great time! We could see lake superior and part of Palisade head from our campsite, which was awesome. Sites were fully hidden from each other, spacious, and comfortable. We were able to hike to the high falls and shovel point directly from our campsite.
I gave it a 4 not a 5 because we could hear traffic from highway 61 all night. Ground was rocky, and the walk to these cart in campsites was wayyyy longer than other cart in sites we had stayed at! There was also no water easily accessible from the site without a filter.
Still, the views were beautiful, the privacy from other sites was fantastic, and being able to hike out to some of the best hikes in the park was a huge perk. We will definitely be going back! Sites G and I seem to be the best views
I loved being able to scramble down to the rocks (definitely have to be pretty able bodied) and watch the sun come up over the lake. Definitely worth staying multiple days if you book a cart in site!
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.
LegendSplit rock is a great place to stay on the north shore! Great place to set up base camp and go explore nearby parks and trails! Site come with a picnic table and fire pit and wood is available at the office! Bathrooms and showers are also in the campground.
