"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. "
"This spot is pretty well hidden in the woods with a tight trail in. There are a few spots you could camp with stone firepits. Didn't look to be visited often, but I came in winter."
"This area is definitely off the beaten path. Super skinny road with lots of rocks/hills and puddles coming in."
$17 - $30 / night
"We camped at tent site #3 because we could park right next to our camp site. There are camping spots back in the woods a bit that you can park right next to but we wanted to be on the lake."
"By late August, direct views of lake is obscured by beach grass but still just as delightful. Sites were close but our neighbors never showed so we lucked out."

"We have camped there a few times and love the accessibility to Mtn. Bike Trails and bicycle riding on the Gitche Gami State aBike Trail."
"Plenty of trails and activities nearby."
GuideThis campground is a perfect “home base” for exploring Minnesota’s North Shore. The sites right on Lake Superior give you the opportunities to wake up ecery morning to a view of the lake as well as watching the big ships go to and from Two Harbors and Duluth. The campground is great for families- with a playground, beach and rock hunting along the shore. The sites are nice, and the campground and bathrooms are always clean. There are sites for almost every type of camping experience too.
TravelerMy partner and I ended up at this campground on a whim and it immediately became our favorite new camping spot! It's a bit of a drive from Two Harbors so you want to make sure you have everything you need before leaving Two Harbors. It is very quiet and peaceful, with only 11 sites. The lake is absolutely beautiful and some of the sites are so private you could run around naked if you wanted! It gets very, very chilly at night if you are at a site with lake access- and the frogs get loud, but it's worth it if you are prepared.
TravelerMy wife and I arranged to get married on the stone beach at Tettagouche in 2001. We arrived Friday night after the Ranger Station was closed, so we deposited our payment in the box.
The next morning, we went to the station to upgrade our weekend pass to a year state parks pass. On telling the rangers we planned on getting married in the park, he replied "oh, you will need a special permit for that". I said "it's just me, her, and a court clerk coming up from Two Harbors...and we need two witnesses..."
"Oh, that's different. It's supposed to rain all weekend- but we'll stay after to be witnesses, and if it's raining we'll start a fire and you can get married in the lodge!"
Sure enough, it rained. Sick of sitting in our tent, we made the most of it-put on rain ponchos, hit the trails, and enjoyed the bridges and waterfalls. And that evening, the Rangers fired up a huge fire in the lodge stone fireplace, took pictures, and signed as witnesses for our wedding. One of them had been married in the park as well, at the river outlet to the lake.
According to Japanese tradition, if it rains on your wedding you will have a happy marriage. We've had a lot of adventures together!
ScoutBurlington Bay is one of the cleanest, most easily accessible campgrounds in Minnesota.
There are many waterfront sites and the beach is just a short walk from the grounds. There is an incredible trail that you can (and should!) use to walk into Two Harbors and grab a beer at Castle Danger.
The only downside is that it is VERY close to the freeway and you do get some car noise.
LegendGooseberry Falls State Park might be the most visited and recognizable of the parks on the North Shore, except for maybe Split Rock. The bathrooms and showers are clean and all of the campsites have enough room for your car and your tent. The Waterfalls are the main attraction but there are great hiking trails throughout the park and it is easy to get to the Lake for a picnic.

TravelerLarge campground on Lake Superior. Clean showers and located close to Two harbors.
LegendPenmarallter Campsite is located just outside the infamous Duluth, Mn and just before you get to Two Harbors, Mn. This is a very open campground that would be premier for RV camping. I probably would not pitch a tent unless I was in a bind.
There is electric hook up and water hook up.
Being located just about 30minutes outside of Duluth, Mn and just before Two Harbors, Mn its a very convenient campground to stay at.
RangerFirst off, the location listed in The Dyrt is incorrect - this campground is on Lake Superior in Two Harbors MN. The lakeside sites are beautiful and ok space wise, but beware if your site is towards the middle of the park - they are super small and crowded. Sites near the road are very noisy. Luckily we had a site on the lake with gorgeous views of Superior. The park is well maintained, and the bathroom/shower building is clean. Would only return if a lakeside site was available.
