We were not able to make the trip, because of a scheduling problem. We learned the day we were supposed to check in. I would have liked to cancel our reservation and let someone else use our site, but there was no way to do that on the recreation.gov website, and I couldn't reach anyone at the park.

We stayed for two nights with our two girls. It was their first camping trip (at 3 and 5), and what a great spot for it! We were at site 26, and it was awesome! Nice long road, plenty of space, almost too much! We had our 6-man tent, a 13x13 pop up (with net for bugs), and still could have fit two more AT LEAST! The path down to the lake was longer than expected, but sure was nice! Once we got to the bottom there, there was a sandy spot, about 5 feet wide where you can take a dip in the water. We also did see the northern lights, one ribbon overhead while looking south (kp5). Satellite toilets, meh, but nice to be sandwiched between the restroom and water! Definitely will be back!

An adult bear at the camp ground was bothering people and was rampaging through peoples belongings. We reported to Golden Lodge about the situation and no one cared to do anything about it. Tried to buy bear spray at various resorts and lodges and no one had any.

Loved site 26, long driveway leading to a large T-shaped campsite. Very private but close to water and the restroom.
The site manager was very helpful and friendly.

The sites are clean and spacious. The drinking water is good with spigots placed periodically around the campground. Easy enough access to the lake to hike along the shore, and have access for our canoe. The anglers told me the fishing is pretty good. We fed lots of mosquitoes but fortunately no ticks. We'll happily be back.

Great place for camping, fishing, & relaxing. We had numerous Snow Shoe rabbits hanging around. Our only complaint one day after the holiday weekend we had to go to golden eagle lodge to ask for toilet paper, out house was out for 2 days and then again at the end of our stay it was once again out for 2 days who knows maybe longer! When we went to ask how often they service the campground, they said everyday, and I told the girl that the outhouse had been out of Toilet paper for 2 days and she said well that is problematic! Duh! Try wiping without it! I thought the 1st time I would not say anything but then it happened again in the same week. I believe that when they service the campground daily that this would be routine, not just collecting the money, We are coming back in September of 2022 and hope that this won't be a problematic issue again. Thanks.

Vault toilets, no electric anywhere around, a strange drinking water supply system, dark campground, animals making noises all through the night. I took my girlfriend out for a late evening walk to some open space down by the lake hoping to catch the Northern Lights. She held on to my arm wiith a death grip. No show with the lights but got rewarded with the Milkyway. After camping at Goosebury Falls which seemed tame compared to the area of Flour Lake and the Gunflint trail.

The campground was not busy as its late in the season. Our goal was to see a moose, we did not succeed in that attempt. We did see the most wonderful colors of yellow and green with splashes of orange (not many maple in the area) as it was near peak color for the area. The lake views were spectacular. We hiked a number of paths off the Gunflint Trail and drove many miles on the dirt roads. We did see fox, beaver, ducks, geese, loons and many smaller birds.
The campground is nice we had site 22 which was long and level. Great walks down by the water.
Enjoy
