@RonZ9447433 · Camped on Jul 9, 2025 at Campsite #20

Its a great campground with private campsites. Great for tenters.

@JillS9232022 · Camped on Jul 6, 2025 at Campsite #20

Beautiful setting. Campsites are large and private. Flour lake is beautiful and so clean.

@JeffL9591550 · Camped on Jun 18, 2025 at Campsite #29

Nice, quiet campground with many places to canoe and hike nearby.

@JEFFH5417641 · Camped on Jun 13, 2025 at Campsite #26

Nice campground. Sites are big. We stay at many in northern Minnesota. The one complaint I have was the outhouse near our site wasnt cleaned over 6 days we were there. The resort is getting paid but not doing their job. This is much different than others we stay at that have a campground host that cleans them.

@cherylls554904 · Camped on Jun 8, 2025 at Campsite #37

The campground and restrooms were what we expected. Nice. To bad so many trees needed to be removed.

@MaryH1910665 · Camped on Sep 30, 2024 at Campsite #20

Always a great experience at Flour Lake! This time we saw the comet over the lake right at dawn! Beautiful!! Campground is clean, sites are wooded and spacious. Close to Honeymoon Bluff which is a favorite autumn hike.

@PatrickK884942 · Camped on Sep 27, 2024 at Campsite #19

This is by far my favorite campground on the gunflint trail! The site we stay at is fantastic with a direct view of the lake. I love the star gazing, hiking, and small local shops to visit. The grounds and bathrooms are well maintained. I've seen reviews where people are upset about no cell service but you are very removed from major population areas - in my opinion being in such a beautiful area you don't need a phone and there are local shops you can get wifi as needed. I couldn't recommend it enough!

@JosephO032E4D7 · Camped on Jul 24, 2024 at Campsite #28

Very disappointed. Site and area were pleasant. The underage drinking and partying by 5 or 6 idiots seemed unsafe campers. No cell service to get support/police. Ruined experience for other campers.

@RonaldW9151685 · Camped on Jul 20, 2024 at Campsite #20

Quiet and clean campground. Loved listening to the loons!

@CharlesR973079 · Camped on Jul 16, 2024 at Campsite #26

Best meal on the Gunflint trail at the Poplar Haus

@MatthewEEFA211 · Camped on Sep 14, 2023 at Campsite #24

Clean campground with plenty of sights. Most sites are separated with trees fairly well. Couple lake side campsites that were very neat but were first come first serve. I read that fishing was suppose to be really good on flour lake. I didn't have that experience, but portage into Moon Lake for plentiful fishing.

@DeannaDAAA65C8 · Camped on Sep 13, 2023 at Campsite #16

Excellent campground on the Gunflint Trail! I was there is September so it was very peaceful. I didn't see a bad campsite - they all have a nice amount of tree coverage between spots. Very close walk to lake to hike, sit or put a khaki/canoe in.Be aware, no cell service (peaceful), no wood - the resort is close by for supplies & The Trail Center is about 15minutes up the Gunflint Trail. There was water,garbage & put toilets. You can shower at the resort but they charge $10 ! Great place to get away from the "rat race" definitely will return next year!!

This was our 2nd time staying at Flour Lake. We had been there in 2020. Overall, it was a great experience. We had to find a campsite for the Labor Day weekend, nothing was available on the MN Northshore for a period of 3-4 nights except in the Superior National Forest. We first tried Bearskin Lake Campground since it was closer to Grand Marais - (1) sites were not available, (2) we didn't like it as much. We found 4-5 First-Come-First-Serve (FF) campsites at Flour, 3 of them were large (RV-allowed), which we preferred. We picked #27 - it was closer to drinking water, close to a bathroom, and just a short hike to the lake (maybe 100 feet or so). We had stayed at 35 before and liked it, this site was better. 34 was available, but tight. #6 and $10 were also available and large, but were further away from water and bathrooms. The lake was clean, it was a bit cold, but you didn't feel it after getting in the water, outside temps. were 78-85, depending on days. Swam up to one of the islands - was cool for older kids. No electricity, quiet times were from 10 PM to 8 AM. Showers, wood, ice, all available at the Golden Eagle Lodge (~3 miles away). Golden Eagle also managed the campsite. They were nice enough to change my 1-night reservation (which was all that was available other than FFs) to our new site. Also, they refunded (in cash) our final night, since the kids wanted to go home earlier to do homework and get ready for school.We also traveled to the Trails End Campground (~25 miles north) to see it too since we had considered it. Family was not into it due to the long drive, but it was nice too. Didn't know that just up the main road on Gun Flint, about 5-6 miles north from the Flour Lake road (Clearwater Rd.), there were stores, canoe rentals, some restaurants, etc. a little town - this made Flour Lake even more appealing.

@Alexander002F9 · Camped on Aug 10, 2023 at Campsite #4

Wonderful experience at Flour Lake. Highly recommend driving or riding down to the Poplar Haus Restaurant as well.

@MatthewA193445 · Camped on Aug 2, 2023 at Campsite #2

Had a great time fishing in Flour Lake and nearby Aspen Lake.

@CarolynS304177 · Camped on Jul 22, 2023 at Campsite #20

Loved the space

@DavidD5028320 · Camped on Jul 10, 2023 at Campsite #36

Very quiet well maintained campground . Only 5 other people there during the week.

@WeiFanL3C73EFC · Camped on Jul 1, 2023 at Campsite #14

We camped at site 13 at Flour Lake Campground. The size was big enough to pitch a 6 person tent, however, the ground was not grass. It was just dirt and hard to pound in our stakes. There is a picnic table and fire ring.

@DanM7848405 · Camped on Jun 20, 2023 at Campsite #25

Beautiful campground... Golden Eagle lodge very close by has a great store and firewood, and super friendly hosts. Sites are wooded and spaced apart fairly well, but better suited to tents or small campers. I have a 43' camper, and was extremely difficult to get it leveled. All sites appear to be sloped from back to front. Fishing on Flour lake was ok, but found several nearby lakes with better fishing. Great place to get away and loved that we had no cell service or wifi for an entire week !

@WadeR8587248 · Camped on Jun 19, 2023 at Campsite #2

Site 002 had such a severe slope that it was basically unusable. I have a 32’ motorhome, and it was impossible to level. My friend had the adjoining site and tried to switch places with me, and he was unable to level his 24’ travel trailer. Thankfully a non-reservable, flatter site in the campground was open, so I was able to stay in that site for the week. Had to pay for the new site along with already paying for the previous site, so camping costs were doubled. Site 002 should not be rented due to severity of slope. Even a tent camper would find it uncomfortable due to the slope. Since there was a group of us camping, we just used the site to park a car and a boat.

@ThomasB3452376 · Camped on May 30, 2023 at Campsite #20

Quiet and peaceful. Our party stayed in 19, on the lake. Nice spot if you don't have to carry in much. Toilet stunk pretty bad, even for a campground toilet, but don't they all

@DeanneN7815747 · Camped on Oct 6, 2022 at Campsite #32

I love how much space and shade you get, as well as all the trails by the campground. The lake is beautiful, too.

I was excited to be free of a cell signal, but some people may worry.

@ScottV1581928 · Camped on Oct 5, 2022 at Campsite #25

The only thing that was sub par was the road in. I realize this is a dirt road, but the last leg of the road in was terrible. Not just wash board, but some pretty deep pot holes and so many that most places you couldn't drive around them.

@Kimberly430122 · Camped on Sep 22, 2022 at Campsite #16

Very nice well maintained campground( except the potholed road going in) One of our favorites

@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
