Lovely campground nestled away off the Gunflint Trail.

We stay at the campground in a tent. But anytime we need to go to the lodge, for wood, ice, or this year we rented a boat a couple times, everyone is always so helpful. We really love it there!!!

What a beautiful place to camp! Thank you!

@RandaMC0BF36CE · Camped on Jun 23, 2025 at Campsite #ALD

Stayed at the Alder cabin. Was clean when we arrived. Enjoyed the short walk to the lake and sitting area there. Weather was great and we enjoyed our nightly bonfires. Plan on coming again in the near future!

@HannahWF7A56BD · Camped on Jun 8, 2025 at Campsite #17

Site 17 was perfect, with a large flat area great for a tent (we fit our 8 man tent easily) and easy access to the lake from the back of the site with a great rock for sitting and watching the mist rise off the lake in the morning. We were pleasantly surprised by the site being basically right on the lake shore. Theres a tiny hill up from the car pad to the site, so a little trip for carrying gear. The mosquitoes are bad - bring a head net and keep covered up and youll be fine. There is potable water a short walk away. We loved this spot!

The campground was substantially deforested. Leaving each camp to see the campsite next to us. The screen door had holes in it and the mattress on the larger bunk bed had stains on it. The picnic table was in horrible shape, and the filtering hadn't been emptied. We actually left a day early even though we paid for the following night. It campground we loved for 26 years was turned into a bare uncared for place we couldn't hardly recognize. We were so disappointed. 26 years of memories gone, just gone. It's heartbreaking to realize we need to find a different place to go after so many years.

It is a beautiful location and a clean campground.

What a lovely Park. I missed guy choose a cabin sometime as they were cute and had great sites.

@PatrickK884942 · Camped on Oct 25, 2024 at Campsite #TAM

Great campground. Very close to the bearskin lodge and then tons of amazing hikes in the area. Weve only camped in the cabins but there are several campsites along the lake they look amazing. The cabins are well maintained and also have a 3 season porch which is perfect for hanging out without bugs bothering you.

@TedD9055241 · Camped on Oct 3, 2024 at Campsite #ASP

These cabins are generally a great value for what you get. However, we were quite alarmed to discover that this cabin leaked considerably rendering two bunks unusable in even a light rain. Glad we noticed before all of our gear was soaked. The cabin roof leaked in several places as was evident in darkened moldy wood panels.Another issue is that there was a big enough gap under the front door that mice got in the cabin. We keep a pretty clean area but were pretty disappointed in that. I would expect a partial refund for unusable bunks due to roof leaking and hope the design will be improved or repaired before we'll consider returning.

No kids and no bugs 4 happy campers!

@RebeccaN872280 · Camped on Aug 29, 2024 at Campsite #ASP

Camper cabin was very nice! We liked being under a roof instead of a tent when the rain came, and cooking outside still made it feel like camping.

@CharlesH720196 · Camped on Aug 24, 2024 at Campsite #TAM

We loved the screened porch of the cabin which allowed us to sit out at night without being eaten by mosquitoes. The site (Tamarack) was close to the vault toilets. The camping sites were far enough apart to allow for privacy. There are great hiking trails that run through the camp. Pets are allowed and our dog loved the water and hiking. We definitely will go back.

@ChelsieA82822F · Camped on Aug 1, 2024 at Campsite #17

Wonderful 3 night stay! Site #17 in my opinion is the best spot. Clean campground and very quiet, especially at night.

@MarcoM4E7E941E · Camped on Jul 4, 2024 at Campsite #4

Not at all as advertised. Had 2 separate parking spaces within tall grass. The picnic area was a separate area, elevated and separate from the parking space which was not suitable for my car camping set up. Had to find another space for my stay.

@MatthewR956812 · Camped on Jun 26, 2024 at Campsite #6

It was remote and beautiful, which is what I wanted. I had 237 mosquito bites in 3 days (I counted). I camp for 3 weeks every summer, I've never seen anything like this. Deet, etc. didn't seem to make any difference at all. I would not go back unless I was really wanting to be the main course in a mosquito drive through.

@KimO7398906 · Camped on May 19, 2024 at Campsite #22

I've been going to this campground for over thirty years and have enjoyed my visits.However, the general maintenance of the campground has declined in recent years.The campground road has numerous deep potholes that never seem to get filled.The picnic tables are in poor condition. The paint is also badly chipping off.Our firepit had numerous pieces of broken glass and cans in it.The latrines are also not serviced often enough.The general maintenance was much better in the past when there was a full- time host staying at the campground.I hope conditions improve because it's a nice location.

@MatthewC862969 · Camped on Aug 30, 2023 at Campsite #10

The campsite was cleaned up and ready for us when we got there. It was very nice and peaceful, and the lodge is just down the road so if you need any firewood or want to rent Kyaks it's super convenient and pretty cheap too. Would definitely camp here again!

@CarlaZD0B57DE7 · Camped on Aug 13, 2023 at Campsite #26

Absolutely zero cell phone service (not poor, zero) for over 30 minutes from the campground. Roads are narrow, gravel, and many pot holes. Site 26 has a steep driveway and was too short on the top flat part for a 21' trailer and there's a cabin within full visibility of the site, so no privacy. This was far more remote/unkempt than the several nicolet national forest campgrounds we have stayed in.

@JudyM6637149 · Camped on Aug 6, 2023 at Campsite #12

Super helpful at the lodge.The campground is beautiful

@JohnB8383631 · Camped on Jul 26, 2023 at Campsite #15

Great campground. Great fishing! Already reserved for our next stay!

@JamesC5011896 · Camped on Jun 22, 2023 at Campsite #22

great staff clean beautiful! Thx

@PhillipHD7513C · Camped on Jun 2, 2023 at Campsite #JAC

The mosquitos are particularly bad this year and the cabins are not maintained at all. It was the beginning of the season and there were huge holes in many of the screens. At night it was either get chewed or cover up with thick sleeping bags and sweat your way through. I couldnt wait to go home.

@ChazInSoCal - CA

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado
