Campground was well cared for, and hosts were friendly and thoughtful. A true gem of a campground in the national forest system.

Meticulously maintained. Made a great choice to replace a host that wasn’t working out, and the new couple are great.

A real gem on the South shore of Lake Superior. Large campsites and miles of sandy beach.

Nicely spaced campsites. Cleanest pit toilets ever! Campground host is a delight and takes great pride in ensuring all campers have a positive experience.

This national forest campground is our very favorite! The hosts Kathy and Pat keep the campground as spotless as one can possibly keep a national forest. All sites are spacious. A beautiful san beach is just steps down from all of the campsites that are on the shore. It's quiet, and the hosts ensure it stays that way. What's not to like if one is looking for a primitive campsite on the south shore of Lake Superior. Some of the sites are reservable and others are first-come-first-served. It truly is our favorite and the only campground that we stay for multiple days each time.
