Summary
AI generated
Black River Harbor Campground offers a beautiful and peaceful environment with well-maintained sites, clean restrooms, and proximity to stunning waterfalls and Lake Superior. While the campground lacks potable water and firewood availability, most campers appreciate the quiet setting and helpful hosts. Some sites may present challenges for those with mobility issues, but overall, it remains a favorite destination for many who enjoy rustic camping and natural beauty.
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.
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.
