Very clean, quiet campground that gives you the full boundary water vibes. It’s an annual trip I take! Always look forward to it!

Beautiful, bucolic campground: large, well isolated sites, most with lake access; grounds are well groomed and cleaned daily. "Trails End Cafe" needs some serious TLC, but other than that, this place is one of the best campgrounds we've ever visited!

It was awesome having our campsites right on the water so it made launching our kayaks super easy. The water station, bathrooms and garbage were just a short walk away. Having our own parking area for the two campsites was also really convenient.

We had a beautiful, beautiful campsite. We would stay in the site again. There was supposed to be a Trading Post that offered firewood, showers, grocery items, etc.... There was nobody around for the 3 days that we were there. This was during the week and during the hours that were posted. We were unable to get any firewood so we were not able to have a campfire during our time there.
We were told by another camper that they were struggling because of Covid. That is unacceptable in a remote wilderness location.
Also, there was a large trash dumpster, near our site, that was overfull and clearly had not been emptied for a week or more. The trash was so gross and stinking. It stunk up the whole area. We had this gross nasty stench all the way to our campsite. Disgusting! This dumpster was also attracting wild animals.

The first couple of nights the mosquitoes were a little rough but we did ok with our bug protection. The views were great. The small rapids was lovely. We canoed around gull lake. The walk from the boat landing to Sea Gull lake has great overlooks.

We love Trail's End. No wifi, no electricity, all kinds of lakes and wildlife and beauty. This is really camping!

Great sites! Very remote and peaceful. Site 22 probably has the best view. No cell signal.

Great place to go. Bathrooms were kept up. Nice and quiet at and around our campsite #21. Wish the Trails end store was open. Had to travel down the road to another area to get some supplies. There is internet to use to check phones quickly.
