Best campground I’ve stayed at in a long time. The people working the front office were awesome. The sites were very clean, trimmed Nd not over grown as many are in the MN and WI state parks. Bathrooms were clean too. I liked that the bathrooms had a code to enter too.

We really like this campground and go often they do have some sites first come first serve tho we have always I believe made a reservation because we have been by the first come first serve sights seem to be always full ! Nice bath rooms/showers at the end of the campground is a beach a slight reddish tint but still very nice to swim and a small play ground ! its about ten miles to Ely many places to eat and shop Zups has really good Smoked Cheddar polish ! We ate at a couple different restaraunts in town kinda spendy but very good food also ate in at Dominoes on main street I think it was the Best Dominoes Pizza I ever had ! Nice drive up 169 since they redone the highway!
