Herbster Campground 

Right on Lake Superior! The campground name was a bit confusing as it is also called The Town of Clover Campground, but most of the signage seems to say Herbster Campground, so that is what we will go with. The RV campground section is up front on a large lot with views of the lake (if you are in the front row). Across the street are a few tent sites right on the beach, as well as a few on the main campground side of the street. There is a nice loop going back into the woods that has most of the tent/small trailer sites. You get your pick- sand flies on the beach or skeeters in the woods. The campground overall is well maintained and very private- everything was well mowed to keep bugs down, and the sites in the woods were well spaced so that most sites are out of sight from each other. The shower house is in a newer shower trailer- sounds weird, but they were actually very nice and obviously cleaned daily. There was a sink station outside the shower trailer for cleaning dishes. I think I saw a fish cleaning station too. Most tent sites seemed to have electric (bonus!) and all had picnic tables and fire rings. They are pretty strict about firewood- it must be local! They have some wood for sale but also had recommendations for where to purchase nearby. This is a first come first serve campground that doesn’t take reservations, which is nice so close to the busy Apostle Islands. This is the place to come as it is much quieter than some of the campgrounds closer to the Islands. There is a boat launch about 5 minutes away that is reasonably priced if you have your own boat for exploring the islands/sea caves.

Great camping near the Apostle Islands

Very beautiful place right on Lake Superior. The tent sites are right along the beach. Small and remote. Beautiful hiking locations close by.

Very Relaxing 

Not much privacy with these campsites (or shade if you have one right on the lake) but the view is worth it to us! Boat landing is about a 10 minute drive down a gravel road, but it’s a nice area! There are tent sites on the side road that provide shad and some privacy as well. All sites and first-come (no reservations) 

Right on the lake!

This campground is right across from the lakeshore but everyone is right next to each other. It reminds me of a parking lot. It’s away from the main road so the sound of the waves drew us in. There are a bunch of campers but this isn’t our thing. We did walk into the beach and saw spots to sit and relax. It is relatively close to Bayfield so this could be an option if others are filled up. 

Lakeside but no privacy 

This was a great little spot to stay for a couple days. As other reviewers have mentioned, it is in an open field and feels a little like a parking lot, but it was really quiet and right on the lake, so we found very little room for complaint! It was beautiful to watch the sunsets at night and walk along the beach looking for agates along the way. I would definitely return here. We were in an RV so had one of the large RV sites, but if you're a camper, you will love the sites right on the water - looked like a lot of room to spread out and was just enough away from the RVs that I don't think they would have been much of a bother.

  

Couple notes: water and electric provided, no sites have full hookups, though there is a dump on site. The showers were clean and hot. No wifi, but we had a pretty decent AT&amp;T signal with our WeBoost. Firewood is provided at $5 p.bundle. No laundry.

Open field, but right on the water

Camped here July 5th on our way South from Lake Superior and it was empty. Camped right along Lake Superior, practically the entire sandy beach to ourselves. Though close to the road and open, secluded, wooded tent sites and open. Even spots are also available. Cute place in an even cuter town. Excellent spot and would stay again if timing were right. 

Post Season Bliss

The wooded sites and beachfront sites are the best, highly recommend the wooded sites. Although you don’t have the view, it’s further from the road so you don’t hear any traffic, the RVs, etc. much more quiet that way.
