Wonderful setting. We were able to swim in the lake off of our campsite. Near by museum and hikes were nice. Canoe rental provided access to the bwca.

About Trails End Campground
Trail's End Campground is located next to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) in a remote area of Superior National Forest in northern Minnesota. It is a wonderful place to sit and enjoy life, or get out on the water to canoe and fish. Berry picking and wildlife viewing are also great fun.

Probably one of the best drive-in campsites in America! #2 is a very large private site at the end of its own short drive with a stunning view of the lake. There’s a trail downhill to the beach for your own personal canoe/boat landing and also a short trail uphill to a great tent pad. The hillside location makes it more susceptible to high winds, though, making tent camping and campfires difficult at times.

this campground is beautiful. Every site that I could see had either a gorgeous view of the lake or a trail down to the water. We rented a pontoon one day from the gunflint Lodge. We went horseback riding there, and then we rented a canoe from an outfitter for a day trip into BWCA. It was magnificent. We saw Eagles, deer and two baby bears playing by the side of the road. By far, one of my favorite camping sites

absolutely incredible campground and incredible site, very private. slight walk from the car down a trail to the campsite, so be prepared if this will be challenging. would not recommend for children, as there is a steep cliff into the lake.

Phenomenal in the shoulder season. Had site 19 and would not have traded it for the world. I love that the park is primarily self operating. September camping here was a great experience.
