Trails End Campground

Beautiful campground with views of the lakes. We enjoyed daily canoe trips and hikes.
Only complaint was the toilet paper in the outhouse ran out during our stay and was not replaced.
Will come again!

Some sites with amazing views!

Generators were ran constantly even when people were not even on their site. They were out fishing when we had to listen to there generator for hours.

This campsite is nice and private. Until the hikers literally cross through your site. There’s a trail for the hikers and people on excursions that leads directly through the site. We were in a tent and it didn’t have a rain tarp on and we had the screens for ventilation. We were woken up by a strange man walking through the site. Followed by 20-30 people over the next hour coming through with hiking gear and canoes. Absolutely beautiful surroundings but terrible site. Choosing another site next time!

Take a screenshot of your reservation confirmation page. Download offline maps ahead of time. Take screenshots of the weather forecast before you enter the Gunflint Trail. Drive slow on the gunflint. Wildlife, children, and domesticated pets live here.

Bears do visit your site:) The wildlife is abundant.

Research the individual campsites ahead of time if you have specific preferences about the level of privacy you want. Site 22 is very visible, very small, and 50 ft from the bathroom. Sites 15/16/17 are on a trail that is pushed back from parking, but some are not private from each other. 21 & 23 are more private and larger.

Be peaceful. People travel long distances to come here. This is a space for laughter, but be mindful of other guests, especially when traveling to the restrooms or driving. Put your pet on a leash when not directly in your site (the main road, exploring). When exploring, DON'T enter other occupied or reserved sites.

ALWAYS practice bear and rodent food protocol. That includes your gray water from dishes or brushing your teeth, putting your trash and food in your vehicle or up in a tree, and the removal of your pet waste.

Pick up before you leave, even if it was there before you were.

Check-in isn't until 2pm, but check-out is at 11am. Other campers within the campground often book other sites for the next day. They are waiting for you to leave while newcomers are waiting for them to leave.

Private, large, and stunning view of the lake. Level ground. Bear visitor :)

No privacy, very small, not level, cliffside, and 50 ft from the bathroom. Stunning view.
Many people turn around here. Very busy and very loud.

an innovatively designed campground with unusual extremely scenic sites

Beautiful site, beautiful campground. Quiet, clean, and the site was bigger than expected, too! You really can’t go wrong with any of the campgrounds along Gunflint Trail.

Nicely spaced campsites, and beautiful views. Great jumping off spot for paddling, hiking, or biking on snowmobile trails.
