Clean vault outhouse and really nice campsites with a lot of privacy. The state person that was in charge stopped by to see how we were doing and tell us a little about the area. Hope to visit this place again.

Great camp host, he was friendly & did a good job.The bathrooms were very clean.Little flying bugs I believe were gnats where unbearable. I didn't want to be outside even with deep woods off bug spray.

It was a very nice park, clean bathrooms, water available to fill the Rv by the pavilion.Nice little swimming area down by the river. There is a lot of things to do close by, within a 30 mile area. Lake vermilion underground mines, wolf museum, hiking, canoeing, check out the root-beer lady museum, Would go back again!

A nice, quiet campground located 15 minutes from Ely. I stayed in site #1, which was fairly secluded from its neighbor, site #3. Bathrooms were very clean. I didn't use any of the other amenities but they did have a nice roped off swimming area in the river and canoes for rent. Would definitely stay again.

Beware there is little potable water (one tap only) and no running water for showers, etc. You can bathe in the lake, but of course much less privacy than in BWCAW.
