Flour Lake Campground

Excellent campground on the Gunflint Trail! I was there is September so it was very peaceful. I didn't see a bad campsite - they all have a nice amount of tree coverage between spots. Very close walk to lake to hike, sit or put a khaki/canoe in.
Be aware, no cell service (peaceful), no wood - the resort is close by for supplies & The Trail Center is about 15minutes up the Gunflint Trail. There was water,garbage & put toilets. You can shower at the resort but they charge $10 😳! Great place to get away from the "rat race" definitely will return next year!!

This was our 2nd time staying at Flour Lake. We had been there in 2020. Overall, it was a great experience. We had to find a campsite for the Labor Day weekend, nothing was available on the MN Northshore for a period of 3-4 nights except in the Superior National Forest. We first tried Bearskin Lake Campground since it was closer to Grand Marais - (1) sites were not available, (2) we didn't like it as much. We found 4-5 First-Come-First-Serve (FF) campsites at Flour, 3 of them were large (RV-allowed), which we preferred. We picked #27 - it was closer to drinking water, close to a bathroom, and just a short hike to the lake (maybe 100 feet or so). We had stayed at 35 before and liked it, this site was better. 34 was available, but tight. #6 and $10 were also available and large, but were further away from water and bathrooms. The lake was clean, it was a bit cold, but you didn't feel it after getting in the water, outside temps. were 78-85, depending on days. Swam up to one of the islands - was cool for older kids. No electricity, quiet times were from 10 PM to 8 AM. Showers, wood, ice, all available at the Golden Eagle Lodge (~3 miles away). Golden Eagle also managed the campsite. They were nice enough to change my 1-night reservation (which was all that was available other than FFs) to our new site. Also, they refunded (in cash) our final night, since the kids wanted to go home earlier to do homework and get ready for school.

We also traveled to the Trails End Campground (~25 miles north) to see it too since we had considered it. Family was not into it due to the long drive, but it was nice too. Didn't know that just up the main road on Gun Flint, about 5-6 miles north from the Flour Lake road (Clearwater Rd.), there were stores, canoe rentals, some restaurants, etc. a little town - this made Flour Lake even more appealing.

Loved the space

Wonderful experience at Flour Lake. Highly recommend driving or riding down to the Poplar Haus Restaurant as well.

Had a great time fishing in Flour Lake and nearby Aspen Lake.

Very quiet well maintained campground . Only 5 other people there during the week.

We camped at site 13 at Flour Lake Campground. The size was big enough to pitch a 6 person tent, however, the ground was not grass. It was just dirt and hard to pound in our stakes. There is a picnic table and fire ring.

Beautiful campground... Golden Eagle lodge very close by has a great store and firewood, and super friendly hosts. Sites are wooded and spaced apart fairly well, but better suited to tents or small campers. I have a 43' camper, and was extremely difficult to get it leveled. All sites appear to be sloped from back to front. Fishing on Flour lake was ok, but found several nearby lakes with better fishing. Great place to get away and loved that we had no cell service or wifi for an entire week !

Site 002 had such a severe slope that it was basically unusable. I have a 32’ motorhome, and it was impossible to level. My friend had the adjoining site and tried to switch places with me, and he was unable to level his 24’ travel trailer. Thankfully a non-reservable, flatter site in the campground was open, so I was able to stay in that site for the week. Had to pay for the new site along with already paying for the previous site, so camping costs were doubled. Site 002 should not be rented due to severity of slope. Even a tent camper would find it uncomfortable due to the slope. Since there was a group of us camping, we just used the site to park a car and a boat.

Quiet and peaceful. Our party stayed in 19, on the lake. Nice spot if you don't have to carry in much. Toilet stunk pretty bad, even for a campground toilet, but don't they all
