Hurricane River Campground

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!

Always happy to score a reservation at 12 mi or Hurricane. One of our favorite places to camp and hike. We appreciated to chance to be notified when a cancelation came up that fit our plans. Great campgrounds and a wonderful place to be.

A beautiful fall getaway. The campground is basic. Put toilets were clean and well maintained. Our site (#6) was close to the walkway to the beach and the trail to the lighthouse. The trail to the lighthouse was great to get our pup out for a nice hike.

Most sites are dirt or grass, very unlevel and without privacy. Very good access to the lake but the shore is all slate-like rock with no sand beach or water access. We visited twice in September and were tormented by biting flies. They looked like ordinary house flies but their bites were painful. They were so bad that few campers ate outside.

Check in was at the Union Bay campground and was efficient. We did not use the restrooms or showers.

Because of the lack of water access and the flies, we will not return.

Absolutely loved it! Gorgeous views and close to the trails. Loved how close it was to the lighthouse.

Beautiful location and site. Our only problem was that someone was set up in the spot we reserved. And there was no campground host to go to. But this may have been due to the govt shutdown.

We made reservations on recreation.gov for this campground on the morning of arrival for two nights. We spent the first night and went on a wonderful hike from the campground. On arriving back to our site we had a ticket saying we had not obtained a camping permit. We tried to find a ranger to show him the email confirmation of our reservation but no luck. Office closed, no phone number. We have had to send emails to the national headquarters who say they haven’t received the ticket yet and it could be 6-8 weeks. They said it may even come to a court appearance to fight this.
Loved the park but this reservation system with no rangers to talk too is not working. We could be dealing with this for months.

The campground was clean and quite. Beautiful sunsets from the beach that was walking distance from the campsites.

Very clean and spacious campsites! Bathrooms were clean. Water is a little bit of a walk, but not too bad.

Beautiful spot with a nice small beach area and clean campsites.
