Voyageur Canoe Outfitters is doing an excellent job of managing the campground as far as I can tell. The host comes by twice a day, checks the biffies, and greets and answers questions to anybody who approaches.

What a beautiful campground. Most spots appeared very spacious though there were some definite small tent only spots. Get a spot with a water view! Clean primitive toilets, garbage dumpsters readily available. Bring your own wood as there is none to purchase at the campground. The managing outfitting company, voyagers, is about a mile away, where we got ice and firewood. We also rented a canoe for a day which is highly recommend. They will transport the canoe for an extra fee if you want to canoe on Seagull lake. Plan to camp here again for the amazing night sky views and quiet, beautiful scenery.

One of the best campgrounds in MN to get away with no cell coverage. Beautiful area!

Always a spectacular experience! This is my third time staying here. Site 28 is a short walk-in with a parking lot shared with site 27. Bring enough supplies because the Trails End cafe and store are closed.

Site view is amazing and beautiful. Thou little small and rocky so hard to get tent stake in. We were in site 8. No privacy in many of the sites here unfortunately they are so close you can easily hear other sites conversation and see into this sites. Bathrooms were ok basic vaulted and stocked with toilet paper.

Beautiful at every turn, very clean, and quiet. There are hikes galore, the swimming is perfect, and the canoe outfitters nearby are super nice with fabulous equipment and suggestions. We highly recommend going to Chik-Wauk Museum and visiting the museum and hiking Blueberry Hill.

This campground is beautiful! Site 024 is a very spacious site overlooking the water. However there is little privacy from the neighboring site. Camp host was friendly and neighbors were quiet.

Wonderful campground. One of our all time favorite spots. We had Site 20 one of our suggestions would be to mark the portage. We had a lot of traffic through our campsite. Even moving our equipment.
