Black River Harbor Campground

Beautiful campground near Lake Superior

short walk to have a good view of Lake Superior

The campsite was nice and the facilities were well kept and the park is very scenic.

Nice remote campground, great beach, and friendly fellow campers!

Lots of nice hiking to waterfalls!

I camped late in the season and the park was lightly attended, which was nice for a drive in campsite. Even though my site was not located on the shore line I could easily hear the the rhythm of waves crashing in from Lake Superior. The trees were well into their seasonal colors. Cleanest pit toilet I have ever been in. The park's location is convenient to multiple hiking destinations.

We enjoyed this campground in September because of its isolation and how quiet it was. But be prepared we arrived during the week and there was one other camper in the entire campground. No visible ranger. Looked like many of the sites were reserved for the weekend So the atmosphere probably changes.There is no power and we came with full fresh water. On the positive it’s quiet and scenery was great. We had a site right next to Lake superior which was wonderful. We could walk out to a point overlooking the lake with a bench to sit on. It is also very near excellent hiking on the North country Trail with fabulous waterfalls.

Black River Harbor Campground. We started coming here a couple years ago after Saxon Harbor in WI was demolished in a storm. Site was fantastic, the weather great, but the stable flies unbelievably bad. I knew it would be a gamble being there in June because that's their prime hatching season, but we tried anyway. There was a south wind for each of the three days we were there and they were biting constantly the times we were at the beach. Wind coming off the lake (from the north) pushes the stable flies off the beach but if it comes from the south they can be murderous. For those non-beach days check out the waterfalls, the flies tend not to be bad there.
Verizon phone service was non-existent, but hey you're on vacation. Just make your calls before going north from Ironwood or Bessemer.

The campground itself is nice. Good sites, great waterfalls nearby, but the bugs can make it impossible to stay here. There were swarms of biting flies that land and attack by the dozens. When a car drove by, you could actually see a cloud of flies in it's wake. We planned to stay for 5 days, but quickly packed up and moved elsewhere.

There is NO water at the BR campground (nor at the Pavilion Park). Spigots have not been turned on. A DNR person told me there will be no water for the rest of the season.
