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.

Staying at trails end is a yearly event for my familly. The camp sites are allways clean and you have many difrent views on each one. Last but not least Plan ahead town is 45 minutes away so check and double check to make sure you have what you need.

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.

Beautiful spot and well worth a walk/scramble down to the water for sunrise or sunset ... just make sure you get a site with a view of the water if you can. Otherwise this is just like any other midwestern campground.
