We stopped here on our way to north Minnesota. Originally we planned 2 days but really needed to rest so extended it to 4 days. It was a little hairy getting to, the 2 lane winding road with the raging river on one side did slow us down a bit.  The Rangers were friendly and accommodating. The park had taken quite a beating with the winter storm that had been there the previous week, a lot of sites were closed due to trees down and snow.  While we were there they were actively cleaning up, but left in the afternoon so we had no disturbances from saws or equipment noise. The water was not turned on yet for the season, so the bathroom/showers and dump station were not available.  There was a potable water source at the front of our loop to fill our fresh tank and our water storage cubes.  The sites were shaded well, and easy to back into.  We had to work a bit to get our camper level but that may have been due to the snow and water that was on the site so we figured it was par for the course.  We walked to the Welcome Center and the swinging bridge, there were multiple hiking trails accessible by the camping area.  It was relatively busy on the weekend but cleared out during the week.  We had lots of wildlife visitors.  The park is pet friendly.  We found affordable propane and a dump site closer to Duluth.

This backpacking site was an easy to hike to spot, located just off Lake Superior. The view from this location was incredible. However, we went in June and the mosquitos and black flies were out in full force. We had bug spray and mosquito nets, but ended up cutting our stay short as our poor dogs got the worst of the bites. Despite the bugs, it was a great campsite.

We love this campground for many reasons. First, the cart in sites are just far enough away from the parking lot that there is very little noise, but close enough you can get to your car easily (1/4 mile maybe). Our favorite site has a big, huge rock next to it and a raised tent pad. All the sites are secluded. Many, many trees to separate the sites from one another. Near the parking area is a bathroom and shower combo, but there are outhouse type of bathrooms scattered closer to the cart in sites. Very close to Lake Superior (easy walk) and bear boxes are at every site (strong metal boxes with shelves and locks for your food). Just beware of the black flies in the summertime. They are ruthless!! Don't take your dog if you want them to be comfortable. For some reason, the black flies love to land on dogs, particularly black ones, and there isn't a bug spray that will shoo them away. We actually left 30 min after arrival (not even camping one night) last July because they were so bad. By the time we reached the car, there were at least 30 on my dog's back.

Bottom line, avoid black fly season and this is a spectacular campground! We are repeat customers!

Love site #11. Right on Lake Superior and access to a stone beach, while being close to the bathrooms as well. Privacy wasn't an issue for me but other sites have a bit more than this one. This campground has great access to towns along the southern end of the north shore and the superior hiking trail. Would reccommend to everyone!

This is one of my all time favorite campgrounds. The views of Lake Superior throughout the campground and the state park are phenomenal. The campsites are private and large. There are carts available to hike your items into your campsite. The staff is always friendly and ready to answer any questions you may have. The shower and bathroom house has always been clean. Make sure to take in all that the superior hiking trail offers you through this state park. Do not hesitate to book your campsite today!

Very quiet, full amenities. Clean. Very tight getting into spaces for a large rig. Price was $20 a night. Very, small town. Had one store with gas. Short drive to Lake superior People in Johnson store were very nice & friendly. Good for 1 night.

This park seems a lot busier than it really is, because of all of the traffic from folks visiting the lighthouse. In reality, once you sneak in past the crowds to the campsites, the park is quiet and filled with really great hiking trails, both along the shore of Lake Superior and connecting further inland to the Superior Hiking Trail. One our most recent camping trip at Split Rock we stayed in one of the backpacking cabins. Very secluded. Right on the cliffs overlooking the lake. It was a bit cold and windy (we were camping in April, afterall), but watching the sun rise over the lake with the lighthouse framing the image, was worth the hike. 100% go there, people.

You need to get reservations ahead of time! We stayed Sunday through Tuesday. Space and vegetation between sites. A short walk to Lake Superior to star watch or have morning coffee. CCC building bathhouse. Awesome hiking to falls. Worth planning ahead.

Lovely campsite, where the sites aren't too close to each other. The sites within view of Lake Superior are the best. Hard to book in the summer, but perfect camping in October. & November, if you have a solid tent & a mummy bag.

nice campground, pretty quiet with lots of trees. bathrooms were clean. site wasn’t very level but wasn’t a huge deal. would come back but stay in the other loop as it seemed a little less muddy. but overall, very close to superior with great views

We have camped there a few times and love the accessibility to Mtn. Bike Trails and bicycle riding on the Gitche Gami State aBike Trail. Close to world class hiking on the Superior Hiking Trail and a few nice easier hikes right in the park.
