Flour Lake Campground

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

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

Loved the space

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.

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!!

Clean campground with plenty of sights. Most sites are separated with trees fairly well. Couple lake side campsites that were very neat but were first come first serve. I read that fishing was suppose to be really good on flour lake. I didn't have that experience, but portage into Moon Lake for plentiful fishing.

Very disappointed. Safety and security first. Site and area were pleasant. The underage drinking and partying by 5 or 6 idiots seemed unsafe for me and other campers. No cell service to get support/police. Ruined experience for campers.

Quiet and clean campground. Loved listening to the loons!

Best meal on the Gunflint trail at the Poplar Haus

Always a great experience at Flour Lake! This time we saw the comet over the lake right at dawn! Beautiful!! Campground is clean, sites are wooded and spacious. Close to Honeymoon Bluff which is a favorite autumn hike.
