A little too close to next door neighbors (first group nice/2nd- not so much:)), but overall a great site. Trail that leads to the water for easy loading kayaks. Really good time.

Maybe the best campground in all of Minnesota and I want everyone to stay away so I can book it anytime I want.

So beautiful and well maintained. Toilets are clean and the sites all have lake views. Hiking at Magnetic Rock and visiting Chik Wauk Nature Center are must do’s. Paddling out to Sag is great if the winds aren’t howling. We saw a moose on the Gunflint Trail on the way up. Always lots of wildlife and birds.

This campground is fantastic! This is a great mix of things to do and great scenery on the lake. There are playgrounds for the kids, activities scheduled (like "S'mores night"), good facilities, super friendly staff, close to other businesses if you forget something.

This is a terrific campground with sites overlooking a lake, a river, and boat landings. Voyageurs Outfitters is just a few miles down the road and they offer all kinds of boat and canoe rentals. Beautiful place with tons to explore. A MUST is a a dip in the river linking two lakes; it's accessible past the sites 18 and 19.

Would haven given 5 stars but we got there and all of the amenities were closed including showers, which we did not see mentioned anywhere on the website. The bathrooms were only cleaned and restocked once during our 4 night stay, so bring toilet paper along! We also could not buy firewood from the campground. Overall great location and beautiful spot with a great view!
