Hurricane River Campground

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.

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.

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.

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!

Great site

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!

To much drive drive-through traffic

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 mi to an epic view.

Very clean campground. Great campground host.

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.
