Black River Harbor Campground

Loved it! Nice campground, bathroom clean and fairly close. Love the fire pit with grid attached!!

If I could rate simply for beauty and cleanliness, I would give it 5 stars. There are several reasons for the 1 star rating. Chainsaws are apparently permitted. The group next to us used one, as well as the camp host across the street. The group next to us also felled a small standing, LIVE tree while the camp host did nothing to deter. The use of generators is also apparently permitted as one was left running nearby for the better part of the day/evening.

If you are looking for a quiet get-away, I would not recommend. If you don't mind the noise, it is a beautiful location.

I traveled for hours to this location specifically because there was no mention of generators or the like permitted on the website. I was also very sad to see live trees taken for no reason other than sheer ignorance. I have been here in the past, later in the year; it was quiet and serene. The influx of wanna-be outdoorsy people ruined this birthday trip for me and we actually left early.

Please be considerate to your neighbors and especially the surrounding nature areas!

very nice enjoyable campground

Spacious sites in heavily wooded area. Quiet enough to hear the waves of Lake Superior rolling into shore.

Take the Rainbow Falls walk through old growth forests. A true gem.

Nice location, close to the lake. Mosquitoes and black flies were pretty bad, but it's to be expected at that time of year. Overall nice, quiet place to get away.

To begin with, there are two things that knock this down from a perfect score. 1) The typical noise rules weren't followed in this campground. Generators running too late and way too early. (and I was getting up at 6:30am) 2) Unlike the better funded National Lakeshores and Parks there's no dedicated pad for my tent, which I have grown to appreciate. Otherwise this was a wonderful campground. The nearby waterfalls were worth the detour here.

Campsites were well maintained. And Campground host, Larry, was phenomenal, very helpful and knowledgeable. He made sure we were having a good stay.

Nice, quiet, well maintained campground. The big attractions are the waterfalls (hike or drive and view, though there is quite a bit of walking and stairs to see them) and the beach. No water currently due to Covid so you need to bring it. I tried to hike to all the waterfalls on the trail (North Country Trail), but lost the trail between the second and third waterfall, due to leaves on the ground and some downed trees. While you can't really get "lost" (you're between the river and the road, just walk one way or the other) and the trail is marked with blue blazes, you still have to pay close attention to stay on it, particularly in the fall when there are some leaves on the forest floor.

Enjoyed hikes to waterfalls and beach. Our favorite was Sandstone Falls because you can get close to it. Rock formations here are amazing. At the othe other falls you are herded like cattle to the overlook and then your view is restricted. We understand this is a safety consideration.
