This place is always packed but we were lucky enough to find a free spot on a Saturday afternoon. Grand Marais is very close if you need gas, firewood or an awesome burger from the best burger in Grand Marie (can’t miss these).
All spots in this campground are on the side of Lake Superior which is a short walk away. All campgrounds have a fire pit and a picnic table. Restrooms are available if you’re brave enough as well as refuse site for trash and a water pump.
Campsites are very close together.
Bugs, speally flies are a pain in the behind but this is always expected. I think a cooler weather camping would be preferrable.
Sunsets are incredible at the beach, water is very cold but its worth a dip. Lots of beautiful rocks. If you’re into rocks, bring a blacklight you may be lucky enough to find yooperlites.
Just a heads up, the slower you go on those county dirt roads the more you’ll feel the rattles, so speed up and volume up.
We stayed here one night because we goy in at around 5am and there were no more available sites. The place is very quiet, bugs are normal for the area and the time of year (August) we got up, packed and left. Its just one small lake that doesn’t look all that fun for me so we looked for a more picturesque place.
We got in at around 4am and obviously all spots were taken so we had to leave to another campsite. However, I will say that the drive here is super fun if you have a 4WD and capable vehicle. If you follow google maps it will take you through these roads but if you stay on the more flattened road you’ll eventually make it as well. Plan your route as there’s no signal whatsoever.
