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.

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!

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

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!
