First time at this campground. Lots to do and see. Loved the hiking trail up to the overlook of two lakes and Superior freighter channel. Also found the Mission Hill Cemetery and Iroquois Point Lighthouse fascinating. Great trip!

We really like this campground.
Unfortunately, we had to cut it short due to bad weather coming in.
The bathrooms were clean.
We will be returning in July.

THis is a GREAT campground. We were there Labor Day weekend for a family birthday celebration and it was clean, well cared for and friendly. Lake was quiet and peaceful. Other than the other campers with generators on past 9pm (: - it was an amazing trip!
