Temperance is definitely at the top of my list for camping along the north shore. The Temperance River separates the upper and lower campground. Both campgrounds are similar with the upper offering electric sites and each have 3-cart in sites. Several sites are next to Lake Suoerior, with full lake views in the lower campground. There are showers in the upper campground and vault toilets throughout.

Site 14 was in the upper campground, near the lake and there was a trail that took you right to the rocks overlooking Lake Superior. I enjoyed the privacy and the sounds of crashing waves. I booked this site the day before (I assume it was a cancelation) as I wanted to catch the fall colors.

Temperance river has miles of trails and waterfalls to explore on the Temperance River. You can take trails on both sides of the river and can access these trails right from the campground. The trail also takes you all the way to Carlton Peak. It’s a gorgeous campground and state park. This campground is very popular and books up fast.
