We aren't the back-woods roughing it type of camper, nor are we ultra sophisticated motorhome types. But we do take a few basics for granted.
4. For us, the quickest way in was to go through Wisconsin and as we approached the campground, there was road construction that required us to go back to Ironwood, and then north again to the campground which meant a 90 mile detour. Now this is road construction in Wisconsin and NOT the fault of the campground, but we had the reservations for many months and it would have been nice if they had gone through their reservations and dropped a courtesy email for those coming up.
We searched for agates all day, but we couldn't find any. However, the group next to us found several, so it was probably just our lack of experience. It's a nice beach for swimming, and there were no black flies in late July.
3. We knew that there were no sewer lines at campsites, but this is the only campground that I've ever seen that doesn't have a dump station. When I asked about one I was referred to stop by another campground 30 miles away where we would have had to pay to use it!
6. A few other warnings that many people won't care about. If you are the kind of camper that gets in the car every morning and goes to lighthouses, waterfalls, restaurants and shops, and then return at night (like us), then THIS IS NOT THE PLACE FOR YOU. It is over 20 miles to the nearest road to anyplace else. Some people look for places just like this, but it ain't us. And even though we don't really use them much, it should be made VERY clear that there is no cell service, wifi, or television stations.
Great for looking for rocks. Not great for shallow swimming because all those pretty rocks are hard on the feet. Beautiful view!
Gorgeous view over Lake Superior. Good place for rock hunting on the beach
2. Yes, there are flush toilets (as opposed to a vault type), but there are no showers.
1. We knew that there were no water hookups at each campsite, but the ONLY potable water for many miles around is from a WWII vintage tanker/trailer that I wouldn't drink out of if my life depended on it.
Great campground! I have been going since I was young and keep coming back. One of my favorite places to visit!
This is one of the toughest reviews I've ever done. Different people camp in different ways; and although this must be one of the most picturesque places on earth, we wouldn't camp there again.
Like I said, if you like to tent camp, hike, bike, and sit around a campfire, this place is incredibly beautiful and perfect for you. But I think we deserved a lot more warnings.
5. On the park map, and even on Google Maps and Earth, it looks like many of the campsites border Lake Superior. Well, they KIND of do. You're 20 to 30' up a cliff so what looks like a few steps is really a quarter of a mile hike to the steps to get to the beach that is right below your camp.
