We were in campsite #4. The group next to us in campsite #5 ran a generator most of the day and all night long. We told them about the time frames to run a generator as posted on the information board at the camp entrance. They didn't care. One of there members has COPD and needed to use a CPAP machine. If they need to run this then they need to camp somewhere with AC electric hook up. We left several days early because we were fed up with all the noise.I think there needs to be a Ranger stopping by to check the campsite--especially at times when generators should be shut off.We love this campground. This was the fourth time we camped there. It was also the worst experience we had here.

I usually go to this campground once or twice a year. I like that there are only a few spots and its rarely full so it is always pretty quiet. The campground could use a little maintenance work as well as a few of the other national forest campgrounds in the area. I pull a 25 ft trailer and most spots are very tight to get into. Often times I need to trim limbs or small trees to get in or out. I usually try to get site 3 or 4 at Iron Lake . Both of these sites have nice views but are tight to get into. The shared driveway to get in needs to be widened out and is very tight to back a trailer in off the main lane through the campground . There is also a drainage ditch that interferes with backing in to either of these sites. Most of the site could use some side trimming or small trees removed. The bugs were really bad during this particular camping trip so glad we brought plenty of bug spray.

Best camping site on the Gunflint. Well tended sites and pit toilet. Water available at central location but no threading for hose; must use container.

Great place to visit a lot of nice hikes (get list at DNR in Grand Maris) and don't mis the Chik-Wak museum.

Great campsite if you are looking to get away from it all.
