Trails End Campground

Phenomenal in the shoulder season. Had site 19 and would not have traded it for the world. I love that the park is primarily self operating. September camping here was a great experience.

absolutely incredible campground and incredible site, very private. slight walk from the car down a trail to the campsite, so be prepared if this will be challenging. would not recommend for children, as there is a steep cliff into the lake.

this campground is beautiful. Every site that I could see had either a gorgeous view of the lake or a trail down to the water. We rented a pontoon one day from the gunflint Lodge. We went horseback riding there, and then we rented a canoe from an outfitter for a day trip into BWCA. It was magnificent. We saw Eagles, deer and two baby bears playing by the side of the road. By far, one of my favorite camping sites

Probably one of the best drive-in campsites in America! #2 is a very large private site at the end of its own short drive with a stunning view of the lake. There’s a trail downhill to the beach for your own personal canoe/boat landing and also a short trail uphill to a great tent pad. The hillside location makes it more susceptible to high winds, though, making tent camping and campfires difficult at times.

Wonderful setting. We were able to swim in the lake off of our campsite. Near by museum and hikes were nice. Canoe rental provided access to the bwca.

I don't want to rate my experience here, I'd rather keep this campground a secret.

Clean bathrooms, private sites.

Camp site next to me ran thier generator all night. They stated they have cpap machines and need electricity. We left the next morning , a Saturday, we gave up our reservation which was thru monday.

This site is absolutely gorgeous. There's enough space between the site on each side of you for privacy. Hearing the rapids roar throughout the night was such a treat. Loons calling in the evenings to eachother. We did plenty of foraging as well around here!

Really enjoyed swimming in the river directly below our site (Disclaimer: Always use caution while swimming in any moving of water! The water was high this summer but the current was slow enough to swim out about 30 ft or so from shore and having little issue swimming back)

Our one complaint was the folks before us had a real hard time practicing Leave No Trace. Litter on the ground, litter in the fire pit, and large amounts of spilt wax on rocks and on the ground (maybe citronella?). Upon dpearture, we cleaned up most of the spilt wax and litter from prior campers. At the very least, Voyageur's should be responsible to ensure the site is cleaned properly. Maybe they are short staffed, it certainly isn't their fault but its still their responsibility... This is the only reason it doesn't get 5 stars.

We will be back to Trails End! Please remember Leave No Trace and leave the space better than you found it :)

We stayed at two different sites. Both were nice.
