What Guests Are Saying

Flour Lake Campground is highly praised for its beautiful, quiet setting, with well-maintained private campsites and direct access to the lake, making it ideal for kayaking and fishing. Many campers appreciate the clean facilities and excellent hiking opportunities, particularly the nearby Honeymoon Bluff. However, some concerns were raised about high fees for additional vehicles and occasional issues with restroom cleanliness, as well as reports of disruptive behavior from other campers.

I love how much space and shade you get, as well as all the trails by the campground. The lake is beautiful, too.

I was excited to be free of a cell signal, but some people may worry.

The only thing that was sub par was the road in. I realize this is a dirt road, but the last leg of the road in was terrible. Not just wash board, but some pretty deep pot holes and so many that most places you couldn't drive around them.

1st time camping since I was a child and it was such a great experience! Flour lake is such a great spot. Clear enough sky to see stars/galaxy, while still being close to a restaurant/stores for supplies and ideally located halfway (or so) up gunflint trail!

I was impressed with the lay out of the camp ground and how spacious most of the sites were. It would have been better without all the rain! But you can't control for that.

Camp site was clean and nice - no issue here. However, there was a noisy family (kids and more - playing and yelling loud) near by that ruined the experience. Went on for several hours. Would have been nice if someone would have asked them the quiet down.

Stayed at a new site this time. I won’t tell you which because it was so awesome. The vault bathrooms were the best I’ve seen in my three trips here — please make a habit of spraying out the old single toilet at least weekly. It makes a huge difference for everyone.

This is generally a pretty good national forest campground. It is well-maintained. Good for families, RVs, campers. Many people seem to come back here year after year. Tent pads at the sites are mostly gravel and dirt, fairly hard. Ample clean water available. Restrooms cleaned daily. There are several sites with easy access to the lake, for canoeing, and fishing. These sites, and a few others, that face to the south and west, get good breezes, air circulation around the campsites. Other sites can access the spots via paths. There is a well-maintained boat launch. Good firewood can be purchased at the nearby friendly Golden Eagle Lodge , who maintain the campground. They also have some provisions, some fishing lures bait, canoe rentals and souvenir clothing items.Hot showers are available in a clean bathroom, for $6..
Some scrap pine tree trimmings from thinning are available around the edges of the campground roads, and if they are browned, and dry enough, make decent kindling.
There are a few good restaurants, and a store, within easy short driving distance.
