Kayaking excursions to explore the famous sea caves rank among the most popular activities for glampers staying near Cornucopia. The proximity to Bayfield (approximately 1.5 miles from Apostle Islands Area RV Park) allows easy access to ferry services for island tours and exploration of Madeline Island. Wildlife viewing opportunities abound, with several guests reporting black bear sightings during their stays. The campgrounds maintain a family-friendly atmosphere with play areas and mini-golf available at some locations. Winter visitors can experience the dramatic ice formations along the shoreline caves. According to a camper, "We kayaked to many campgrounds and islands in the national lakeshore, paddling a total of 60 miles we were able to make it to 3 different island campgrounds." Most glamping accommodations remain open from early May through October, with some sites requiring advance reservations during peak summer months.
"It is close to the ferry dock, restaurants, parks and beaches. All sites are electric and water and some are full hook up. There are cabins and tent sites as well. "

"Site 7 had the best set up for us but 5 and 6 were good as well. Some sites were right next to each other and lacked a little privacy but it was still good."
"The lake views for sunsets we're amazing. Vault toilet across from site 6 must be new as it was very nice for what it is. Our firepit tipped over with the weight of the grill swung out."
TravelerWe had two nights here in two different spots. Price is a little high but it does include utilities which is nice. Most spots are 2 night minimum unless you’re filling a gap between reservations which is what we did and it was great. Staff really friendly and helpful. Nice trees around sites. Sites were close but we still found it pretty quiet. Good location to go in to town. Would definitely return.
TravelerThis campground was very clean and beautiful. It's a great place to stay with a family. We stayed in site 36 and found it to be spacious and close enough to the playground and bathrooms for our kids to run down on their own. The staff was kind and helpful.
GuideThe sites are fairly close but most offer privacy. Laundry and market in Ironwood are decent.
TravelerBeautiful location on the shore of Lake Superior. Clean restrooms and showers. Friendly hosts. Highly recommend.
GuideThe 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.
GuideThis is a campground for small campers only. My 16 foot travel trailer was about the limit for size. Very little access to the lake and river. Overall, this is a primitive site with pit toilets and a pump jack for water.
GuideThis is a nice enough campground but I am honestly disappointed. The website describes lots of amenities, which is why I booked this campground, however, everything is extra cost in addition to nightly rate— including mini-golf. The entire campground is in the side of a mountain and there are no flat roads, which makes biking and walking a workout rather than leisure. We will check out Buffalo Bay next time.
GuideGreat campground with swimming hole & great access to Bayside for island ferry’s! Complaints: Park is located on the side of a hill—Spots are small but level, roads are all at a slope. Not a great campground for kiddos to ride their bikes, and not super fun to walk uphill in every direction. The campground also charges you $5-7 per person to play mini-golf… which is odd, since it is advertised as a campground amenity on the website.
TravelerNice level gravel pads, some have full hookups . Ok for a one night stopover.

Fall visitors experience temperature drops to 40-55°F with increased wind off the lake, requiring additional cold-weather gear for comfortable stays.
Hiking trails access: Sullivan Lake Campground offers proximity to several North Shore hiking paths. "Beautiful drive from Silver Bay. Small campground with a narrow road in.

It gets very, very chilly at night if you are at a site with lake access," advises a Sullivan Lake visitor.
