Site 20 was large and beautiful so much space in between our site and our neighbours. Very well kept site and had incredible views of Lake Superior. The beach was lovely and sandy so easy to walk on and dig your toes into. Weather was great, no bugs which is a bonus since I get bit up typically. Was right in between the bathroom and water spicket.Vault Bathrooms were the cleanest we have ever been in. Only 24 sites, everyone very respectful and quiet. Location offered a great breeze at night perfect sleeping weather. Camp hosts Kathy and her husband were the nicest camp hosts we have ever dealt with and we are avid campers!! So kind, helpful and accommodating. We cannot wait to go back!!

Loved the campground host! They were incredibly helpful, friendly and diligent. The campsite was spotless. I cannot believe how hard they work to keep this campground beautiful. Really appreciated them. Also loved the beach, and the day use park. Thank you for an excellent vacation.

We visited this rustic campground in Sept. 2020. We just loved this beautiful wooded setting close to the water's edge. This is a very peaceful and quiet place to relax and enjoy nature. Kathy and Pat. the campground hosts, keep the rest rooms and grounds very clean and they are very friendly and helpful! We'll definitely be coming here again.

This has to be one of my favorite campsites ever! The hosts have these sites impeccably clean. They were completely raked and huge new fire pits and hooks that were great for hanging lanterns or making a laundry line. The hosts were super fast to welcome you and answer any questions. Beach was lovely. Warning that this site is in the middle of nowhere which I love, but if you are planning on going into towns for food and entertainment, it's a bit of a haul. There isn't anything very close which makes it a perfect place for amazing stargazing and complete darkness. Bring flashlights/redlights for making your way to the beach and bathroom at night because it is DARK!

This campsite is absolutely amazing!!! The campsites are connected to the shore of lake superior and the views are spectacular! I visited at the end of August and the weather was very mild. There is quite a bit of wind that steadily comes off the lake so be prepared with layers. Starting a fire is a bit of a challenge due to the wind, but overall the campsite was amazing!! I highly recommend it!
