The view from this campsite was absolutely incredible. It’s right off Blueberry Lake, which is an appropriate name as we found plenty of wild blueberries near our campsite.
The hike to get to this campsite was rough. Trails were very overgrown and there was an unfortunate amount of black flies and mosquitoes. Bug nets, permethrin treated clothing and bug spray were no match for the amount of bugs we encountered.
They do have a bear locker available which is nice as this campsite is very remote. No pit toilet though so be sure to pack a trowel.
If you are looking for a rugged, backpacking adventure then this campsite is for you!
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 stayed here overnight the night before we were set to hike the SHT for a week. The campsites and bathroom/shower room were very clean. However, the campsite was a little noisy. (Our site was closer to the road and we had loud neighbors). A nice thing about this park is that they have a place you can leave your car if you plan on hiking the SHT. You just have to talk with the front office.
This was one of my favorite campsites we’ve stayed at along the North Shore. It’s just off the SHT, there’s waterfalls to see on the hike up, and it’s located just off Lookout Mountain. This close access to Lookout Mt meant we got to enjoy our breakfast with a view of the sun rising over the lake and forests. It was secluded and quiet. We definitely can’t wait to camp here again.
