Hurricane River Campground offers a beautiful and quiet setting with well-maintained, spacious campsites located near Lake Superior and hiking trails. Campers enjoyed the clean facilities, scenic views, and proximity to stunning sunsets and the beach. While some experienced challenges with the reservation system and biting flies, many found the campground to be a lovely retreat and a great base for exploring the area.

Absolutely spectacular campground. We stayed at the lower site 6. Garbage was changed regularly and the bathrooms were extremely tidy. We appreciated the built in lantern pole at our site and also the cooking grate available on the fire ring. The beach was just a very short walk from our site and we enjoyed looking up at the stars from there. The river running into the lake was just beautiful. Grand Marais is about 15 minutes from the campground and Sable Falls, Log Slide are just down the road from the campground. Be sure to bring enough wood as we found it difficult to find some local. Come prepared because Grand Marais is the closest place to purchase forgotten items. This place is gorgeous!

Very nice sites with level tent pitching area. The sites are spread out more than average which gives some level of privacy. While the toilets are of the pit type they were well maintained and better than expected, we didn’t have to wear gas masks. The campgrounds location is just an eighth of a mile from the Lake Superior shoreline and the shoreline trail. It’s a lovely spot!

Loved hearing the lake from our tent!!
Vault toilet was well maintained.
Logslide overlook is just down the road, from the trailhead you only have to walk .2 miles to an epic view.

I appreciated the elevated pad for my tent. The fire ring was nice. The pole for my Coleman lantern put it over the top. I was late getting to the campsite and had to set up my tent in the dark. The elevated light from my lantern on the pole made it much more manageable.
I enjoyed the rustic nature of the site with the toilet facilities just across the road. If I get the chance I'd love to visit again.

Although we input our specs for our travel trailer when reserving the site, it was a very tight fit. We also purposely reserved a generator site, making sure we were respectful of quiet hours but we were still harassed by the campground host for DAYTIME generator use AND wrongfully accused of running it all night. It was a nice area though and all in all, we did enjoy our stay.
