Best Glamping near Superior, WI

Staff here very helpful. Provided good information for our day trip to Lake Superior and downtown Duluth. Also info on other things to see in the area. We would visit again if in the area.

We stay here when we want to go to Duluth, but don't want a hotel. It is a large campground, with sites of all types and sizes. Many sites are more private than others. Spirit Mountain Ski has many activities, right across the street. There are discounts for campers. Activities (summer) include alpine slide, zip line, and chair lift (for views of the harbor and Duluth below).
The camprgounds best features include immediate access to the Superior Hiking Trail, and an awesome mountain bike course/trail system. I prefer the walk-in sites, just for more woods. But site J was not private, and was not flat. Tent pads are small. Still, great time, and good night campfires!!! Bring your mountain bike!

I fully recognize that my lack of enthusiasm for this campground may be due to circumstances on the particular weekend we were there. Our site was directly across from the playground and the kids playing at the playground were all pre-teens who screamed non-stop. Our neighbor also had a dog on a line that was long enough to come into our campsite. The dog was perfectly friendly, but he did his business right in the middle of our site and until we pointed it out to the dog's owner, it didn't get cleaned up. The sites were also very small and very close together. We won't be returning to this campground. 

We did, however, love the area. We rode the Gitchi Gami trail up along the north shore of Lake Superior, hiked around in Jay Cooke State Park and explored Duluth a bit. We liked the Streetcare Cafe in Carlton (great food), The Cedar Coffee Co and Castle Danger Brewery.

We stayed there in July 2018. We went for the lift served downhill mountain biking and found this to be an extremely convenient place to stay. The Campground is lovely and shaded and at the top of the ski mountain. You ride across the road to acsess the trails. We stayed for a week and it helped that the weather was perfect. The days are long there so after we tired ourselves out riding we did some hiking and and siteseeing along the Ridgeline that goes through Duluth and up the lakeshore. Also saw the ship museum in Superior. The campsites have electric and they recycle the orange bags for the firewood so be sure to return those to the office before you leave. The ice is for sale at a good price too. There were some mosquitos but not nearly as many as I expected. Restrooms and showers are decent and clean. The spirit mountain beginner trails are machine built and smooth and are a total blast. I saw advance riders on the beginner trails also. We wore full face helmets but some people don't. I can't do the advanced trails but a lot of people were enjoying them. I recommend this Campground for sports enthusiasts.

This campground meets all your needs with electric, water, sewer, laundry, shower rooms; even a pool.

Unfortunately it appears the place is winding down it’s tenure and it’s reflected in the “curb appeal” and infrastructure.

Friendly staff at office.

Pros *Bathrooms kept clean except the mold on the shower curtains. *Lots of pull through parking *Close to Duluth

Cons *Noisy highway and train nearby *Park has a slightly sewer scent *Sites close together and not very many trees *Price to high for what you get in my opinion

Okay for a night but not a destination. Only cash and checks accepted for payment.

As a tent camper the only reason I’m not giving Thais a 5 star is the price and the lack of privacy. The tent sites are all within arms length of each other and in the middle of a path to a trail. The price was 30$ to camp in a tent without electricity... by far the most expensive tent camping I have ever seen. arms length from other people... in the middle of a path.

Field camping was a bit pricey for the lack of privacy and parking.

Nice Campsites mostly secluded in the woods. Campsites are not to close to eachother giving you the privacy you want. Great views by the ski lift of Duluth! They also have a spot where they have mini golf, mountain luge, and mountain biking. Nice bathrooms and laid back environment!

I love this camp area. . .has everything I need for a weekend shredding at Spirit Mtn Bike Park. Clean, easy access, toilets & showers 👍

Website states they are closed for 2020 summer season due to Covid.

Stayed here over the 4th of July, busy but good campground! Clean bathrooms and close to Duluth. Lots of fun things to do

Stopped in to check this out everyone said you have to go and do alpine slide as well. We didnt have the time to that day but plan on coming back in fall to do that!!! Park was nice and clean and staff was very friendly. Gave us great ideas for places to check out and great food spots in town too!!! And they are open in winter for sking and snowboarding as well!!

Beautiful area, quiet ,lots of hiking trails.

Beautiful area with a gorgeous view, lots of hiking 👣.

We spent 2 nights at the back of the campgrounds in the most secluded area. The view of the open woods was amazing! Spirit mountain has plenty to do at the grounds and is close to the city Duluth for other adventures.

This is a good car camping campground with a few walk in sites that allows you to get away from the road but close enough to get to the amenities. Very close to Duluth so you can easily get to all the sites.

We had so much fun staying at Spirit Mountain, visiting Duluth and Gooseberry Falls. The campgrounds were very private due to tree cover but it rained every night and never dried out because of the tree cover so it's a plus and a minus. There was a big slope to get down to our firepit which we didn't care for. If we would stay again we would book site 50 or 52.

The camp site was big enough for our car and our 6 person tent. The office had weird opening ours. I would recommend getting ice and wood at the nearby gas station. Overall a quiet campground. Was a pleasant experience
