North Little Brule River, Superior Hiking Trail

This hike-in campground sits along the Little Brule River, accessible via the Superior Hiking Trail after completing the Lake Walk section. Campers reach the site by hiking northeast from Lake Superior, with the North Little Brule River location positioned 0.4 miles past the South Little Brule River site. The campground provides basic amenities including toilets, fire pits, and designated tent pads, though one reviewer noted the fire ring showed significant wear.

Water availability remains unreliable at this location, so campers should plan to carry water from Lake Superior or other reliable sources. The site allows pets and campfires, making it suitable for backpackers seeking a riverside setting. For a more developed option, Judge C. R. Magney State Park Campground offers additional facilities 1.7 miles east.

1 of 3 sites on the Little Brule

After finishing the beautiful yet slightly grueling Lake Walk you head northeast eventually coming to the Little Brule River where depending on the water levels you’ll see little waterfalls and pools. You’ll also run into three consecutive campsites; South, North and Northwest Little Brule River. First South, then 0.4 miles later the next two. All three have unreliable water conditions so stock up in Lake Superior if unsure. The tent pads on the second one, North Little Brule, were nice settings. The fire pit was pretty beat up but serviceable. Overall, I’d suggest waiting and getting a spot at Judge C R Magney.
