"Jay Cooke is really a must experience state park within easy driving distance to other parks in Minnesota and Wisconsin."
"North east Minnesota has some very beautiful country. Highly recommend this spot. "
"The downhill mountain biking is awesome (the kids still want to go back) and the Adventure Park was a lot of fun too - and a short walk from camp. "
"We were pleasantly surprised with the campground when we rented one of their walk-in areas. The tent areas are pretty secluded and surrounded by woods with minimal neighbor friends."
"You are so close to the downtown area in this hidden cove. There are walking/biking trails around the grounds. There are few mosquitos and the staff is very friendly."
"Near city and bike path. Quiet and friendly folks."
"The hike-in sites are great, not too far to walk but you have privacy. One thing to note about the hike-in sites is that the trails aren't well marked."
"Heavy storm and food damaged washed out the main freeway to the park, destroyed the river side trails from Little Manitou to Big Manitou falls and shut down the public beach and campgrounds for some time"
"Campground was so clean and nice trails to walk around. The bar & grill had great food and service. 10/10!"
"Close to downtown Duluth (10 mins.)"
"The campsites are fairly close together and the highway can be heard, but they are tucked away from the main attraction a decent bit. However, you can easily hike to the trails and falls easily."
"Enjoy a short walk from the camping sites to the water and hiking trails. Bring your camera for sure! Don’t miss this Northern Wisconsin park just Southeast of Duluth Minnesota."
"Great place.Plenty to do.People that work there are freindly and helpful.Great mountain bike trails across the road,and hiking trails only right down the road about 6 blocks.Lots of Canoe and kayak rentals.Bath"
"-kind campground hosts with quiet but well-used atvs
-easy lake access with docks and shoreline
-free wifi
-this is a good day-of campsite if you’re looking for an adventure or a fun story to tell!"
"We were traveling with friends and the staff (owners I believe) made it work out for us to have sites next to each other.
Park felt well cared for and attended too."
"It’s next to Duluth and looks like a city park. Many permanent residents. Very clean and comfortable. I’d stay again if I’m in the area. Now we’re driving north to find a moose."
"Nice campground...a little rural but close to town. Helpful staff, decent size sites and hookups. Pool area was nice but busy on our stay. Great family camping."
"The camp is close to Duluth but still far enough away to get you completely out of the city and, while exploring, we came across Jay Cook State Park (only about 15 min away) which is beautiful!!"
"The campground has an island you can take a wooden bridge over too that offers some fishing spots and a nice little walking trail. Fire ring and picnic table provided. "
"Kayaking trips are great but sometimes finding a wilderness place to stay and keep yourself submerged, away from civilization can be tricky when traveling."
TravelerDidn’t reserve ahead of time took the last spot available it was a ADA spot. Was $28 a night and non resident with a state park sticker is an additional $15… spot had no hook ups pit toilet next door up hill.
TravelerIt was a very beautiful camp ground I love the fact that they had a tent area
GuideWonderful campground with waterfalls and hiking opportunities for families and adventures. Some mosquitoes but that comes with the adventure of being outdoors. Most sites are pretty isolated with foliage and trees. DNR staff were knowledgeable and friendly. This is a rustic campground with 3 vault toilets and drinking water locations spread out among 35 sites. No dumpstation at the campground for RVs but you can use the dumpstation at Pattison SP which is about 30 minutes. Wisconsin is loosing there position on the use of generators in there state parks that do not have electric at sites. You need to get the ok from the DNR staff. I would stay at this campground again if passing through this area.
TravelerStayed in drive in 58 on a particularly cold June weekend. Site 58 was a short walk from the lake and very close to an incredibly nice bathroom and water station. All park services seemed to be closed by 6p - but we were able to buy firewood from the camp host. Only knock is the increasing presence of RVs and generators at state parks - these sites are pretty close to each other, which would be a very different story if all tents but with larger rigs, larger groups and generators it made for a decently noisy stay between the hours of 6a-10p.
GuideThis campsite really surprised me and exceeded my expectations. I simply was looking for a campground with a shower, and this definitely delivered that and so much more. Every single campsite has potable water and electric hook up, which I don’t need since I don’t have a camper, but it does come in handy. I was able to charge my E bike battery. Something I would not have been able to do Without it. The town is very small and has a few amenities. But this campsite is delightful. Campos is readily available to assist you and also sells firewood at a very fair price. There is a beautiful aluminum dock for campsite/public use. You are allowed to fish here and if you catch fish, there is a fish cleaning station that is Crisp and clean.
RangerNice enough country campground, with some beautiful lake views, especially the newer section on the west side. This area has sites with W/E and full hookups. The older section of the campground is electric only. This area has several tight turns and hard to back into sites, but is more wooded than the newer section. The new side has widely spaced sites with tall pines. Taking off one star for the coin-operated showers and the absolutely ridiculous placement of the dump station that requires maneuvering around one of the campground loops and blocking part of a main road to dump from the correct side of your RV. An updated dump site in the new section would be a big plus….
TravelerNice campground has over 100 campsites, some with Full hook up some just with electric and water some on the lake. Very clean and organized place.
ScoutIt's very nice with beautiful views of the water. I will say that ticks have been a issue on my dogs. Other then that love it!
GuideThere's another small site cut out from the road that's somewhat separated from the main sites. There's enough room for small campers. Road is good.
