Penmarallter Campsite

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Sitting along Minnesota's North Shore corridor, Penmarallter Campsite runs from May 1 through October 1 and draws RV travelers in particular. The layout is mostly open and sunny, with pull-through sites that work well for larger rigs up to 50 feet. Tent campers can set up here, though reviewers note the open exposure makes it a better fit for RVs than for those seeking shade.

Full hookups are available, including electric, water, and sewer connections, and campers who only need 30-amp electric and water can save five dollars per night over the full-hookup rate. The campground also has a dump station, WiFi, showers, and drinking water on site. Owners have drawn consistent praise across reviews. Grant B. noted the hosts were "very friendly and helpful during our five night stay."

Two Harbors functions as a practical base for exploring the North Shore south of Grand Marais, and the campground's position makes it a workable staging point for that stretch of coastline. Campers who want to compare nearby options can browse campgrounds near Two Harbors, which include Burlington Bay Campgrounds and the quirky Northern Rail Traincar Inn a few miles up the road. Reservations are available, and booking ahead is worth considering for summer weekends when North Shore traffic picks up.

Nice campground close to Two Harbors

The campground owner/hosts were very friendly and helpful during our five night stay. Two Harbors is a good provisioning and jumping off point for exploring the North Shore area south of Grand Marais. Some shade but mostly sunny pull through camp sites worked well in the cool Minnesota evenings. You can save $5 a night if you only need 30-Amp electric and water.

Very open and great for RVs

Penmarallter 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.
