Beautiful area if you like the outdoors. We have been there 4 different times. The Ely area is a very nice area to visit.

We enjoyed a peaceful stay amongst the trees. The showers were good. Water was available at the office, and the dump station in Ely was fine. The park was very quiet, and phone and internet were just a short trip into town at the library.

I really love this campground. It gets a little crowded in the summer, but at the beginning of season and at the end it's nice and empty. The sound of loons makes me smile every single time... firewood available after hours which is nice, they'll even drop it off for you. I've visited this location many many times over the years and is one of the best ports of entry and exit to the BWCA in my humble opinion.

The site was great, lots of trees around us and fairly private. The campground rents canoes for exploring the lake. All very convenient. The staff provided great recommendations.
