Amazing campground and campsite. Super quiet and we were able to hear the water from site 16. Campsites feel super private even though not super far from one another and we were able to get to the other site (15) that the other half of our party stayed at super easily. Definitely rustic, but pit toilets were relatively clean and restocked with toilet paper regularly. Potable water was nice and cold. Amazing views from the campsite, which was nice when it was raining and we didn’t want to hike and so hung out at the campsite for an afternoon.

Beautiful, well run north woods campground right on the edge of the BWCA. Easy access for canoeing. Some sites in the first loop are right on the water but are a little too close to one another for my comfort. Occasional bears in the campground so you have to be very careful about food storage.

Site #17: Secluded. 300+ yards from parking so a small hike in to carry gear. Access to water is nearly vertical, so if you plan to keep your canoe close, be ready to climb up and down. Right at the mouth of the rapids, great place to catch fish. Excellent view. Clean site a safe distance from Cliff drop offs. Easy access to trails. Tree covered site. Great view of stars from the bluff. Saw fox, grouse, pheasant, turkey, coyote, bald eagle, blue jays, lions and a moose.

We have been going to Trails End for 50 years. While we have been to Hawaii, Costa Rica, Switzerland, and many other beautiful locations we find this to be our favorite place on earth. The campground was well maintained although the current concessionaire was not as good as some previous in maintaining the outhouse near us. We stayed in site #4 this year but have used a number of others over the years.

Great campground but gravel roads are terrible if you have a trailer/truck lots of huge potholes and deep rivets from the rain made it difficult to back into campsite 8 and walking around you could easily break an ankle. In previous years has been much better maintained ( grass cut, overhanging large branched trimmed, roads graded etc).

Spectacular scenery everywhere you look, sounds and sightings of wildlife, sounds and rhythm of cascading waterfalls all enliven the senses creating a relaxing and healing stay. Grounds were in great shape and Voyagers did a great job hosting the campground. Totally enjoyed it!!!!
