Lamb's Resort and Wildhurst Campgrounds provide distinctive glamping accommodations in Superior National Forest's rugged landscape. Situated near Lake Superior's North Shore, both locations offer yurts among their accommodation options, providing a blend of wilderness immersion with essential comforts. Wildhurst features secluded glamping sites surrounded by dense forest with modern amenities including showers, drinking water, and electric hookups. The campgrounds provide convenient access to ATV trails while maintaining private, wooded sites ideal for nature enthusiasts seeking comfort beyond traditional camping. Lamb's Resort supplements its glamping options with cabins that offer additional amenities including water hookups, sewer connections, and trash service for guests preferring enhanced convenience. According to a camper, "The sites were clean and well taken care of. Same with the bathrooms and showers! The employees are very friendly and accommodating."

The Superior National Forest setting provides abundant recreational opportunities directly from these glamping locations. Hiking trails surround the properties, with guests particularly enjoying the lake access available at both resorts. Wildhurst connects directly to regional ATV/UTV trails, making it popular among outdoor enthusiasts seeking motorized adventure. The bar and restaurant at Wildhurst serves as a social hub for glampers, offering prepared meals and a gathering space after days spent exploring. Fishing opportunities abound in nearby lakes, with multiple reviewers mentioning success catching walleye and trout in the area's pristine waters. The campgrounds remain operational primarily during Minnesota's warmer months, with most accepting guests from May through October. One visitor noted, "Lots to see and do in the area. Take a drive over to Ely..cute town. Visit the old Iron mine! We had a good stay...sites are tight for larger rigs."

    Trail's End Campground

    End of the Trail

    Trail's End Campground is another one our favorite campgrounds. At the end of the Gunflint Trail it is secluded and very peaceful. We've stayed here a number of times. This time we were in Site #14 for the third time. The site is up a slight incline. Up the path from the road there is a nice level area where we put the picnic table but others may use as the tent pad. Up a little more and you have another level area with the fire pit on one edge. The site looks out over the lake and usually gets the breeze quite nicely. There are two slight issues with this site however ....if there are people in site #15 you can see and hear them and it is at the very start of the second loop of the campground so you can hear the traffic coming and going to all the other sites on the loop. These things do tend to take away a bit of the secluded feel. We have gone to this campground with no reservation and always found a spot. And as we have explored the campground over the years we have never found a "bad" spot. However as more people learn about this treasure of a campground and it gains in popularity it is a must to make a reservation if you are hoping for one of the more popular sites during the busy times.

    This campground has an outfitters on site for any of your Boundary Waters needs. We have never used them but we have gone to a number of outfitters just a few miles down the trail and they have all been wonderful. There are also a number of hiking options available relatively close by. I would highly recommend hiking to the Magnetic Rock!

    Lamb's Resort

    Great Family Camping!

    We had a wonderful time at Lamb’s Resort on our way back from Thunder Bay! The owners were available for questions and our site was perfect! We stayed at site 49, which was a short walk to the beach. Our boys, age 5 and 3, spent hours throwing rocks in the lake.

    Activities: walked along the rocky shore to the mouth of the Cross River stargazing at night while laying on the beach Schroeder Baking Company just outside the entrance for rolls or pizza when the weather was not good for cooking. Rented a canoe from Sawtooth Outfitters and took up to Fourmile lake for fishing Hiked Temperance River trails after a big rainstorm. When our kids get older, we will take them up Carlton Peak

    Plusses: Tent campers and RVs are separate to minimize noise. Site was private and tucked in the corner. So many activities to do, no matter the weather. Although a hike from our site, the main bathrooms were clean.

    opportunities: really the only issue for us was that there were no grills on the fire pits. We made due, but a slight inconvenience. RVs were close together, but didn’t matter for us. playground was a little shaky - could use an update.

    Lamb's Resort

    Well maintained campgrounds

    Nice clean bathroom and great showers that have an extra DRY SPACE and a chair to change into fresh dry clothes.

    Campground is well maintained, sites in the woods are spaced apart. Sites closer to Lake Superior are tight, some are VERY SHORT and tent sites only.

    Good electric power and water at the site we were at.

    Two nice beaches and a river at the campground. Very beautiful sunrise’s over the lake!

    Fall camping will be cool beside the lake so bring warm clothes.

    Close to MANY Minnesota State Parks and super good hiking trails.

    Site 8 with no electricity or water and is great site with super views of the lake.

    Trail's End Campground

    End of the Road part 2

    September 15-18. Campsite 23 & 22. The leaves have started to change and it dips down so freezing at night. Campsite 23 requires you to park along the road. You can block the entrance to your site with the car for more privacy. A few steps lead to the site. There are some trees that block the road, but not many. The site has a lot of tree coverage on the lake side, but is also on a cliff. Warning for small children and dogs. You can take a small path with in the site to a cliff top to see the view of the lake. There is also a somewhat steep path down to the water front. There is a flat water front at the bottom. A lot of wildlife and beautiful views. There is a table, in-ground fire pit and grate, and there is plenty of space. Multiple options for tent placement. The ground is even and the bathroom is a very short walk along the same road. The water spigot is directly across from this site.

    Trail's End Campground

    Bears! Site 17

    Drive in site with a designated parking spot. Same parking area and walk in trail as site 15 and 16. Last site of three on the small path. Very unique and very large. You can hear your neighbors but there is more coverage between them than the rest. There are a few steep built in steps to get up to this site, but the main area is very flat. Cliff front might not be small kid friendly, but there is a path down to the water. Stunning view. There is good tree coverage to put a tarp up, but also to see the stars. It can get windy, so bring the good tent stakes. The site has plenty of rocks to pound them in place. There is more than one space to put a tent.

    We had a bear visit us about 8:30 after we had put the fire out in a very windy night. He has walked up from the water using the area between site 17 and 16. These three sites are near a dumpster, you can hear the lid close occasionally and I assume this was the bears motivation. Keep you food, trash, and grey water taken care of. You will have visitors.

    . Drinking water is next to the bathrooms, which is about 300 feet away. This site has a waterfront view of one of the Saganaga Lake coves. You can walk your way down to the water. Might not be little kid friendly, but the water and view are beautiful. This site has a ground inset fire pit with grate and picnic table, but no bear box. You will need a bear bag or put your food in your vehicle. There are bears.

    Dyers Creek Campsite, Superior Hiking Trail

    Sufficient

    In trying to add a title to this review the word that came to mind for Dyer's Creek Camp is sufficient. It has water, even in the dry season, it has enough camp spots for a few tents, the fire pit is ample and sturdy... It just lacks that wow factor to give it 5 stars. The water source is good but the creek is just that, a creek. It lacks that gurgling flow that sends you off to sleep. It's also deep in the woods so no views. There are a few sites close to the fire pit and then another one deeper into the site that offers some privacy and easier access to the creek. Those near the fire pit will most likely want to go under the bridge which is just a 60 second walk from the site.

    Trail's End Campground

    Site 15

    Drive in site with a designated parking spot. Same parking area and walk in trail as site 16 and 17. First site of three on the small path. Good size, but very little privacy. The neighboring site 14, has a few trees between, but you can see through and hear everything.

    Drinking water is next to the bathrooms, which is about 300 feet away. This site has a waterfront view of one of the Saganaga Lake coves. You can walk your way down to the water. Might not be little kid friendly, but the water and view are beautiful. This site has a ground inset fire pit with grate and picnic table, but no bear box.

    Trail's End Campground

    Unique campsites, beautiful park!

    This is one of our go to camp spots. It is a 45 minute drive up from Grand Marais, but worth every mile to get there.
    Most sites have a unique layout, and almost all are private! Site #17 is my favorite, by far. It is large, picturesque, and has a path to the water.
    Wilderness Way outfitters is at the entrance to the park, and they have a small cafe, shower house, and store. They also offer everything you need to get out in the BWCA and explore. I recommend finding all the hiking trails along the gunflint and making day trip hikes. Trails are of varying challenge, and you'll often find moose.
