About Trails End Campground

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!!!!

Trip over memorial weekend was great (little to no bugs). Campsite #6 had plenty of room, great views, near a bathroom. There's a hidden hiking trail near one of the boat landings that wasn't marked. Make sure to bring toilet paper and get firewood in town.

Beautiful weather, very quiet campground, incredible scenery. Hiked the magnetic rock trail and had lunch at Gunflint Lodge on the way up. Great stay!
