We just came off 2-3 weeks of hot dirty, dusty, un-level, gravelly, marginally maintained campgrounds and this campground was sheer heaven! Clean level concrete pads with hook ups that worked! A pool that was warm enough to get all the way into (but still truly refreshing!) and a well organized check in with a great list of local trades people included. Our engine light came on that day, so it we really appreciated having that resource! The showers double as a storm shelter so they are huge and cavernous, but very clean and nice. Nicest campground on our trip, only thing missing is shade but the ac was fine.
Close quarters and sights are not very level. Fairly expensive for not having a pool.
Review for Indian Point Campground This campground is owned and run by the City of Duluth; I shouldn’t have to say more, but I will. It could be a real jewel, but sadly it’s not. We ended up staying here 17 nights (!!) Because we had some business to do in town and there’s pretty much nowhere else to go. We were moved 5 times during our stay, once because our site was sold out from under us. We weren’t offered any kind of upgrade or anything for the inconvenience, either. The staff is nice, but 2 quit right after Independence Day and left the others overworked. The bathrooms and showers are new but poorly designed (how could that happen in Duluth?) and often very poorly maintained- out of hand soap, paper towels, toilet paper, and overflowing trash receptacles (and dumpster). There are only 2 regular showers for women and 1 handicap bath/ shower prioritized for tent campers; same for men. There are no trail markers for the walking trails or foot paths to the bathrooms hence lots of traffic through the unfortunate campsites around those areas- avoid sites 58 and 59. This is the darkest campground I have ever stayed at, even rustic ones were better lit for safety and security. There’s no security and no bathroom codes. There’s a troubling amount of activity at night that isn’t involving campers- (drugs, prostitution, loitering, driving through and making noise,)and the Duluth police aren’t too interested in driving through at night. There only 7 full hook up sites, most sites are electronic only. Lots and lots of tent campers (21 dedicated sites, and they allow extra tents on the sites for an additional fee)and a few long term homeless tenters (they were not a problem but it’s sad and messy.) I would be more discerning about the campsite we took next time, if we ever return, and probably bring some outside lights with us as well.
This campground has some negative reviews, but we thought it was just aces! Yes, the pool is closed for the season- it is disclosed. The showers are one temperature but it’s comfortable and the water pressure is awesome. The dressing room is big enough to actually dress in and your stuff can remain dry. It was clean and got the job done! They are really nice and friendly here and even pick up the bagged garbage from your site. We would stay again.
City owned campground on a bay of Lake Superior. Should be nicer than this. Not very well maintained with few full hook ups. Have to use the showers because our site has only electricity. The showers have been newly remodeled but are poorly designed. Very small shower stalls with practically nonexistent changing area. After the 4th of July weekend there was no toilet paper. There are also the occasional non-campers hanging around. Management doesn’t seem to think this is a problem. I wouldn’t stay here again.
