The whole edge of the campground was sloped rather badly and you could lose your balance and slip easy if at the edge. My campsite was not private or secluded with the entrance being open. Although there were lots of trees, they provided no shade. The only positive thing was I was next to the bathroom.

We were on site 10 it was a fabulous week. Quiet and peaceful.
My only concern is the road in has huge potholes that need to be fixed. They are ver hard on the car and camper.
Thanks for the wonderful memories!.

Possibly the best campsite I've ever had! Great overlook of the lake. Sites are well-spaced apart, and there are only three sites on this cul-de-sac (however, you can still hear the noisier people in other parts of the campground at night).

We have been going to the Boundary Waters for 29 years and this is our favorite camp ground.

Nice campground beautiful view.
Only complaint is the fire pit had two grates and was so deep we could barely see the flames. Also it is placed on where the hill starts so you are unable to sit on one side.

We live love our late summer camping trip to Trails End. We go driving to look for moose and visit Chik-Wauk museum and nature center.
At the museum they have activities for both adults and children.

Good service from the helpful staff. Will recommend this campground and Way of the Wilderness Outfitters to others looking to have a great time in the BWCA.
