Great Basecamp
Mountain bikers and hikers will love this beautiful treed campground. Level sites that are spread out enough to offer some privacy. Bath house was old, but adequate.

Crowded but lovely stop
A weekend in October...peak color but the campground is crowded and pretty noisy up until 8 pm ish when it does quiet down a bit. Would stay again, just when it's less crowded.

St Croix River Resort
Great Family Campground
Many activities throughout the day for the family. Kids enjoyed the pool. The store has a nice selection of items for sale. Firewood is $8 a bundle.
The campsites are close but there is enough trees between sites to make it seem like you are not so close.
There are atvs and utvs but at night they are not moving around.

Private sites, W/E, Close to downtown Duluth. Our site was just big enough for our 38' 5th wheel with slides on both sides. They delivered wood which was $9 for 5 pieces. RR and showers close to this site. Toilets fairly new, but showers paint peeling and could use remodeling.

Convenient when the SP are booked
If you’re hopping between state parks in the north shore area and need something near Duluth, this campground is a solid option if there’s nothing else available. Time has not been overly friendly and the park and campground are somewhat run down, but there are still upsides. It’s close to local stores and the sites are shaded and actually quite lovely, but beware that MANY of the sites on the far west loop (45-70) will not be level. Most also do not have a dedicated space for a tent, but there is usually ample space on the gravel drives (bring extra padding). This loop is also not ideal for larger RVs. Verizon cell service was manageable and if you scout the site images online, you can find spots with northern-facing openings in the trees for Starlink if needed. Water spigots in this loop are also well placed and the water was quite chilly. Now for the ugly…the bathrooms in this loop are serviceable, but if you touch the wall or floor while showering, you might want to star over. If you forgot your shower shoes, you won’t be showering. Older bath houses are acceptable, but this one was plain filthy beyond simple age.

Nice paved spots
Nice campground with flat paved spots and good facilities. Water park for extra charge, but a great free playground for non-swimmers

Jay Cooke State Park Campground
Everything is convenient
I stayed at two sites, the second being 41E, which has electric. This loop is perhaps the most central to the bath house, but all are conveniently located nearby and the dump station isn’t too far (but far enough to stay out of sight, out of mind). The bath house is fully handicap friendly and the shower heads can all the raised and lowered, and there are wheelchair ramps up to the facility. The dirt roads are miraculously pothole free and the drinking water spigots are blissfully cold if you’re here during a heatwave. Site 41E, like quite a few actually, has the fire pit behind/on the wrong side of your rv door, but no biggie. The biggest downside is that the site is rather unlevel, but if you are able to scoot all the way to the right (closest to the electrical tower), it’s not so bad. The bridge/park office/store is a quick 7 min walk, and the bath house is less than a 2 min walk.
When I was staying, we were hit with hazardous levels of wildfire smoke, and I was so impressed that the park staff opened visitor’s center early so that campers would have a place to escape the smoke. I’ve never stayed at any park where the staff goes so far above and beyond.

Woodsy Perfection
Every site is nestled into the woods, which is cozy and adds the added benefit of privacy. That said, the extra big rigs wouldn’t be a good fit—one loop only allows for rigs under 25’ in length due to a tight corner. Another oddity is that some fire pits are on the opposite side of your doors, but no biggie.
The bathrooms are wonderfully new and central to all the camping loops. There are men’s and women’s sides for toilets/sinks and independent shower rooms—all handicap friendly. The park really outdid themselves here, even the building is beautifully designed.
Firewood is for sale at the camp office along with your typical camping goods and souvenirs, and the park staff is wonderful to interact with. There are black bears, but no bear boxes, so be smart with your food. I had 1-2 bars of LTE on Verizon, and if you need Starlink access, try to find a site that runs north/south more than east/west because there are obviously trees everywhere.
Site 5 is near a small dumpster, which turned out to be rather convenient—there is a line of trees/brush for privacy, so don’t let that stop you. There is also an ice cold water spigot behind the site, which was even better—again, trees/brush for privacy. Mostly level, with just the smallest tilt toward the fire pit. 2 minute walk to the bathrooms, conveniently located near a walking path to the park office/bridge.

Jay Cooke State Park Campground
Great park! Will come again!
This is a favorite of mine. I have been here tent camping twice and will be staying at a camper cabin later this summer!
My favorite part of this park is the swinging bridge. I'm in awe of the view every time I come. I sometimes stop here on my way up to the north shore just to sit out on the rocks and enjoy the view.
The campground is huge. There's multiple loops for both primitive and electric hook up. There's a very nice shower building located very centrally. There's camper cabins too.
Beware last year there was a bear that frequented the campgrounds, but we didn't really have any major issues with him. Just keep your food secure.
Lots of great hiking. The superior hiking trail runs through this park as well. Close to Duluth where there are so many fantastic recreational activities. I had great cell service everywhere in the campgrounds too.
Guide to Superior
Cabin camping near Superior, Wisconsin offers access to the forested areas surrounding the western tip of Lake Superior. Located near the Minnesota-Wisconsin border, this region experiences warm summers with temperatures averaging 75-80°F and cold winters with frequent snowfall exceeding 70 inches annually.

What to do
Hiking near the St. Louis River: Jay Cooke State Park provides multiple trail options through varied terrain. A visitor noted, "Love this park! Well maintained campground with plenty to do. You can bike, run, hike and camp." Another camper recommended, "Should you find yourself heading to the north shore, take a break and hit the trails of Jay Cooke. A variety of trails awaits you."
Winter activities: Mont du Lac Resort offers skiing and snowshoeing during winter months. According to one review, "We decided to do a cabin (package) so that we could stay and ski (well, they skied I snowshoed). The cabin was nicely located close to the slope but not in the way of the action." During summer, they feature "a lazy river, mini water slide type of platform and a summer tubing area that runs through the trees!"
Water recreation: Several cabin locations provide river and lake access for fishing, kayaking and canoeing. A camper at Fond du Lac City stated, "We had a nice site on the corner, very close to the river to drop in our kayaks." Many properties include docks or boat landings for easy water access.
What campers like
Privacy between sites: Spirit Mountain Campground offers wooded sites that create natural separation. A reviewer mentioned, "Nice Campsites mostly secluded in the woods. Campsites are not to close to eachother giving you the privacy you want." Another camper noted the "tree cover" provides seclusion though it can affect site drying after rainfall.
Proximity to Duluth attractions: Cabins located near the Duluth area provide convenient access to additional amenities and activities. One visitor to Spirit Mountain appreciated that it was "very close to Duluth so you can easily get to all the sites." Another camper mentioned, "We had so much fun staying at Spirit Mountain, visiting Duluth and Gooseberry Falls."
Peaceful lake settings: Top O' the Morn Resort & Campground features lakeside accommodations with a quiet atmosphere. Reviews describe it as a "quiet campground" that's "peaceful and beautiful" with a "calm and peaceful" lake. One guest reported, "Saw a lot of wildlife and heard the sounds of loons in the AM and evening."
What you should know
Reservation requirements: Most cabin facilities require advance booking, especially during peak season (June-August). Fond du Lac City operates differently with "no reservations. It is on a first come basis."
Facility maintenance schedules: Bathroom and shower facilities undergo seasonal updates. A camper at Fond du Lac City reported, "There are new bathrooms and showers being developed at the current moment so there was one Biffy for the whole campsite and made it kind of difficult."
Train noise considerations: Some locations experience railroad disruptions. A reviewer at Jay Cooke State Park reported, "One of the only things that was obnoxious about this park is that there is a frequently used train track nearby - and the trains really lay on whistle. I slept with earplugs in because of this, but I was still woken up around 4 times that night."
Seasonal limitations: Most cabin rental operations close during late fall and winter. Penmarallter Campsite operates "May 1 to October 1" while Top O' the Morn Resort runs from "May 1 - Oct 15."
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Several cabin locations include play areas for children. Anchor Inn Campground provides basic recreation options according to visitors. Fond du Lac City features "a small playground" where families were observed "playing on the small playground, shooting hoops, fishing, and riding bike."
Water safety considerations: Beach and swimming areas vary in development level. At Top O' the Morn, "Lake has swimming area and swim platform, it's a lake so there are small fish, snails and grass in that area."
Family-friendly trail options: Jay Cooke State Park offers accessible hiking for various skill levels. As one visitor noted, "Nice hiking trails. Not too difficult. Family friendly." Another mentioned specific trail recommendations: "The Hiking Club trail is probably the most used, I considered the CCC hike which is accessible from the loop I was staying in."
Tips from RVers
Site dimensions: Penmarallter Campsite provides larger spaces for recreational vehicles. A camper observed it is a "very open campground that would be premier for RV camping. I probably would not pitch a tent unless I was in a bind." Hookups include "electric hook up and water hook up."
Hookup options: Various cabin camping locations offer different utility connections. A reviewer at Penmarallter noted, "You can save $5 a night if you only need 30-Amp electric and water."
Seasonal considerations: RVers should plan for weather impacts on access. As one camper at Woods and Meadows Farm experienced, "The hike in was muddy and buggy as there was quite a bit of rain in the weeks prior to our camping trip."
