North shore campground

[jramsber]

Hi everyone. I am looking for a semi private drive-to campground or possibly a short hike-to site along the north shore. The family and I are planning a trip and want to find somewhere where the sites are nice and spread apart where we aren't right next other groups.

We are also planning some day hikes so any suggestions on that would be greatly appreciated as well.

Thanks!

Lambs Resort. Not a very good HSOforum, but you if you visually transpose their map with a google sat map it, you'll see it is pretty decent for seclusion and allows for camping right on the lake. As for hiking...it is on the superior trail. Great swimming area as well.....well, for the north shore and if you do not mind chilly water.

George Crosby Manitou State Park has hike in campsites. There is plenty of hiking in the park itself, and also nearby Tettegouche and Temperance River state parks, and countless other miscellaneous trails in-between.

Try the Findland campground, fairly private. Eckbeck(sp?) pretty decent too. Up off the shore a bit but not too far either.

The campgrounds in Finland offer lots of drive in sites, some right on the Baptism. The George Crosby Manitou State Park hike in campsites are a easy hike to get to, and for seclusion, hard to beat.

For the most part the State Park campgrounds are nice. Might not be the most private, but still not like your typical RV park either.

Temperance is our Fav. Some excellent hiking nearby.

Gooseberry is pretty nice. Again some nice hiking nearsby.

Judge Magney is nice, a bit off the shore, but nice hiking close by and the Devils Kettle is cool to see.

We really like Temperance River State park, lots of beautiful spots and right on the water. Has really nice shower rooms etc. Check it out!

When are you planning on going? A lot of the State Park sites fill up fast but they do usually have a few sites reserved for first come first serve campers.

We booked a site at Split Rock for a weekend in mid June, we booked it over the winter and got one of the last sites available.

Split rock has cart in sites but like Nofish said, you need to book early. I stayed at Lambs for two nights last summer. I wasnt too impressed with the seclusion but I'm not used to camping in campgrounds so my perspective might be a bit off.

Has anyone stayed at Burlington Bay campground? We go look for sea glass in that area, just wondering if the campsite is nice. Looks like its run by the city of two harbors.

I have stayed at Burlington Bay. Nice place with showers and very close to the lake. Just not any privacy. Sites one on top of another.

Thanks everyone. We ended up booking at Judge CR Magney mainly because the others were booked. Might try a hike in at one of the other parks also. Thanks again for all the input!

Check out High falls up at the border. Easy hike in and some great views of the islands on the way up there.
