Judge C. R. Magney State Park Campground

Loved stopping here for a night in Grand Marais this summer. Ranger was friendly and said hello while I enjoyed a morning hike to Devils' Kettle. Downside was sites are very close together, not much privacy from your neighbors. Sites was crawling with tons of bugs that look like ticks, but aren't (you could squish them).

Small (27 site) campground north of Grand Marais, MN on MN61. Although there is easy access from the highway, the campground is very quiet and there are several hiking trails accessible directly from the campground, including the very popular Devil’s Kettle trail (just over two miles roundtrip but including over 200 steps). The bathhouse was very clean and centrally located. Attention to maintenance detail was very apparent throughout the park on the trails and restoration in the campground. In addition to the camping fees, you also have to pay a state park fee ($7 daily or$35 annual). Wish we would have stayed here but the campground was full.

Nice, clean campground. Big trees throughout. Clean restroom/shower house. Also has vault toilets. Firewood available. Good water supply. Trash dumpsters. No hookups. At least half of the sites are level. Hiking trail. Helpful friendly staff. Can hear some traffic on nearby MN 61, but not bad. Can also hear the roar of surf on Lake Superior. Campsites are separated, but not much growth in between for privacy.
