Shipwreck Creek Campground — Split Rock Lighthouse State Park

Description

Shipwreck Campground is the newest RV campground (tents welcome too!) inside Split Rock State Park. Although maps show it on the other side of the highway, you have to go into the park first, head toward the "campground" signs and then you'll see a "Shipwreck Campground" sign that will direct you to a road that goes UNDER the highway and across the road. I

Beautiful brand new campground in June of 2022, 42 electric sites big enough for 70ft RVs. There is a full shower house with bathrooms, vault toilets throughout, plenty of space, drinking water and more. A bike trail (paved) takes you in and around the park too!

A newer campground with spacious, level sites featuring pristine facilities and excellent trail access. Campers regularly cited the lack of dump stations as the main drawback, though nearby parks provide this service.

Amazing State Park

Spacious RV spots with additional tent sites on each one. Unlike what other people have found if you are willing to cart your water by bucket and your camper has a siphon feature there is potable water available throughout the park. We are 47 feet without the truck and fit in a 50 foot spot. 55 foot with our rear deck extended.

One of the best campgrounds we have stayed at!

Huge private sites with wildflowers all around you made for a beautiful stay! Great location for exploring the north shore. The sites have electric hook ups and the shower facilities were very clean. Only downside was no dump or water fill on site but we used the SP down the road for that without issue.

Great new campground

Split rock is a great place to stay on the north shore! Great place to set up base camp and go explore nearby parks and trails! Site come with a picnic table and fire pit and wood is available at the office! Bathrooms and showers are also in the campground.

Great new campground!

Only opened about 1.5 year ago, the facilities are pristine. Usually the nearby campgrounds are full weeks in advance, so this expansion was much needed. Our site was perfectly level and plush ground for the tent.

Nice Stop

There are water hydrants in the campground, but you cannot do dishes or fill your camper from them. There is no dump station. Newer campground with nice roads and good spots. Nice shower houses. 50 amp hook ups. Plenty of trails and activities nearby.
