Trails End was absolutely amazing! We woke up to an incredible sunrise and pretty much had our own private beach. We can't wait to go back!

Beautiful campground with some sites on the lake. Others have wonderful views. Good access to canoeing north or into Seagull Lake and beyond.

This is one of the most beautiful campgrounds in the entire state of Minnesota. Several sites overlook Gull & Seagull Lakes while others are nestled by the rapids that connect the two lakes. The outfitters that operate it do a nice job and are very friendly. I will definitely be staying here again!

The campsite was isolated. You could not see another campsite from ours. The view was stunning. We were there for the canoeing and fishing, there is no end to the possibilities at this location. Last year was our second year On site 17.

Great large private sites. The views were fantastic. If you like walking/hiking, then this is the place to visit.

The campground is large with great access to the water for fishing, swimming or canoeing. Campground was clean.
Downside was choosing a site that was not terribly tent friendly even though it said it was. We spent one day walking around the campground and I made a list for a future trip to the campground of sites that are more tent friendly.
We’ll go again and see if choosing a better site improves our rating. We live in Grand Marais, so this would be a nice campground to be able to spend time with our kids.
