There were two name slips on my campsite for the same night. I didn't want to deal with that, so I left. The campsite was nice.

The campground is remote and quiet, and the campsite itself was one of the nicest we have had anywhere.

We love this campground. You're pretty far out there--no crowds like at the state parks along Lake Superior. Nearest good hiking (other than the little trail across the road from the campground) is the Superior Hiking Trail, which you can access like 8 or 9 mi away at George Crosby Manitou State Park, so that is a little bit of a bummer, but it's worth it for the solitude. The best sites are the ones along the lake, which are large and have their own little beaches for easy access to swimming and kayaking. Others range in quality, and some are pretty tiny. If you get a chance, bop on over to the Trestle Inn for some fried cheese curds and draft beers.

I came here once in the summer and again during the fall, and both times were beyond expectations. The site was absolutely beautiful and felt very private. Waking up to the views of the lake were amazing. It's very rustic, and you wont be getting any cell service, but honestly it was SO nice to be totally disconnected with everything, and be able to really connect with nature and the people we were with.
The vault toilets were very clean and well stocked. The caretaker of the grounds was SO nice and extremely helpful! He came by and checked on us more than once, and even helped us out while setting up camp. He had some really great stories to tell, you can tell he loves what he does.
This summer had firewood for sale on site, but there wasn't any during the fall, so it's a good idea to be prepared.
All of us hope to continue to return often to this campground.
