Stories from the community

2 nights at Nóatún Community Wooden Boat Works

Great place if you’re looking for somewhere to camp and just relax in the north shore! Very friendly and fun environment! Beach is very close by so you can cold plunge in Lake Superior!

1 night at Whispering Pines

I enjoyed how peaceful my stay was. I didnt hear anything except the birds and bugs. Was affordable quick getaway from the city. Thank you Jared!

1 night at Whispering Pines

Fantastic spot tucked away from everything. Clean, nice fire pit, and a wide open camp spot. I enjoyed it, I’m fairly sure the deer weren’t pleased I was there though! Awesome spot.

3 nights at Sunset Bay Getaway

If you’re looking for a loud cramped campground with trailers and tents on top of each other and you can hear the neighbors talking then you won’t enjoy this site. But if you want a true slice of paradise in God’s country with privacy and solitude then this is the place. Not having WiFi, TV, or phone service for a couple of days was truly remarkable relaxing experience. We played games, talked, watched the Bald Eagles and listened to the loons. Sheila our camp host was very accommodating and made us feel welcome and at home. We hope that we have the opportunity to revisit “Sunset Bay”

1 night at Superior Beach Camp

This camp site was amazing! We loved the open grass area for camping and the short walk to the beach. The private beach was a huge selling point- and it didn’t disappoint. It was perfect for our dogs! The owners were super communicative and had great instructions.

1 night at Pondside Clayworks

Pleasant setting, quiet and peaceful. We heard a train, not a big deal. Had a good night’s sleep after a long drive. And got to meet the dogs!

Weekend Trip to Floodwood Municipal Campground

The Floodwood Campground was in a convenient location for anyone wishing to visit the Sax Zim Bog Visitor Center. The City of Floodwood has all the necessary services. The campsite was adequate. Water, electricity, and showers were available. A fishing dock is on the St. Louis River. I felt safe. I tent camped so didn't use all of the offerings. At $40 a night it was overpriced. The campground is brand new. The lights from the neighboring houses was annoying, I felt like I was camping in someones backyard. Perhaps some plantings of shrubs could improve the view for campers and neighboring house. I camped on a Saturday night in early June- only 3 of the 15 sites were occupied. Even though the campground is right next to the St Louis River, it wasn't very attractive. The area seems to have a shortage of accomodations. There is the Starlite Motel. Floodwood is on major US 2 which runs from Duluth to Grand Forks, ND

Weekend Trip to Floodwood Municipal Campground

Really impressed with how clean and well-kept this campground is. The grounds are spotless, the bath house is well-maintained, and the dump station is super convenient. We especially loved the easy access to fishing—made for a peaceful and fun way to spend our time. The only thing keeping this from being a full five stars is the lack of privacy. Sites are pretty open and close together, so you don’t get much space to yourself. That said, if you don’t mind being near your neighbors, it’s a fantastic spot with great amenities and a beautiful, relaxing setting.

3 nights at KJ|eventyr

Kyle and Kelcie were very kind and accommodating hosts. The camper was very clean and comfortable and it was so fun waking up surrounded by the trees. Even though it was chilly, we also enjoyed the swimming pond (right after the amazing sauna!). Would highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Nóatún Community Wooden Boat Works

We stayed two nights over the weekend. John welcomed us & showed us around. He is a great resource & has a wealth of knowledge regarding folk & indigenous traditions as well as the surrounding area. The space is great for straightforward tent camping. The tent site is on the lakeside of the property, quiet & protected from the wind. We were able to park in the driveway & use a wagon to cart our gear to the back. The beach & river are both in quick walking distance, which was amazing! Come prepared to be self-sufficient including drinking water. We utilized the portapotties at the beach access parking lot next door as well as the restroom at the marina, which also has a shower that we didn’t use. Both bathroom options are walkable & convenient. The resident goats are a hoot & so friendly. They even did well with our dogs over time. We would certainly camp here again!

Weekend Trip to Lakeside Wanderers Refuge

Beautiful spot! A very calm and peaceful place with the water! Great fishing and an awesome place to go camping if you’re looking for something more private. Owner was great at communicating! We would go back!

Weekend Trip to Woods and Meadows Farm

super friendly and helpful, beautiful views and very cute cabin

4 nights at KJ|eventyr

We loved our Monday-Friday stay in the apartment! It was very clean, cozy and quiet with comfortable sleeping accommodations. The hosts were very friendly and checking in and out was a breeze. Our kids especially loved looking for frogs near the pond and jumping on the water trampoline! We also enjoyed smores (fixings kindly provided by the hosts) and fires at night on the deck. Thanks for the wonderful stay!

Weekend Trip to Hidden Pines

Had a wonderful stay at Hidden Pines! Loved the camp store and the firewood right on site! Site was secluded and had enough space for 2 4 man tents and a 1 man tent! Close to Barnum, MN if you need to make an Ice run! Excellent time! Will be coming back!

Weekend Trip to Floodwood Municipal Campground

What an amazing place to stay. Me and my wife came here for a one night get away on the weekend. We did have the pleasure of being the only people here, but the bathrooms are clean, the camp host was very nice and we had an amazing time. I would recommend this campground to anyone. Thank you for the peacefull stay and we hope to come back again in the future!

Weekend Trip to Superior Beach Camp

Beautiful views of Lake Superior, nice wide open and flat site. Lots of things nearby to do, or just stay and enjoy!

1 night at Pondside Clayworks

Beautiful land and welcoming people, we had a wonderful experience here!

1 night at Floodwood Municipal Campground

The campground was clean, quiet, and located on the beautiful St. Louis River. I highly recommend camping there.

4 nights at Superior Beach Camp

We had a very nice stay at Superior beach camp. There is nothing better than an (almost) private beach on Lake Superior. The path down to the lake including the ladder/steps worked out better than I expected. Very clean Port-a-Potty and very private site with space for our dogs to run. The fire pit, grill and picnic table were nicely set up for us when we arrived also. Matt was very nice, he even sent a message letting us know there was a possibility of Northern Lights from the north during our stay.

Weekend Trip to Floodwood Municipal Campground

Great campground! New amenities and friendly people. The dock is really nice too. We paddles the river from up stream to our campsite. Well done City of Floodwood!

Superior Beach Camp

2 sites · RVs, Tents10 acres · South Range, WI

Escape to Superior Beach Camp and immerse yourself in the beauty and privacy of a cleared camping area situated above 500' feet of sand and pebble beach on the world’s greatest lake. Agate campsite is very generously sized and is all yours. Surrounded by a mix of poplar and birch with a few white pine sprinkled in, the main camp area is set back from the lake atop a 70' bluff with peekaboo views of Lake Superior. A short walk down a private path from your campsite gives you access to a beautiful Lake Superior beach to swim, skip rocks, search for agates, or just enjoy the panoramic views of the lake and the town of Duluth on the opposite shore. Agate campsite previously featured a "look out point" that has been altered by the natural erosion of the red clay banks that comprise much of Lake Superior's south shore. While you can still access this area, doing so will require more effort and care, and we no longer allow camping on the point. Superior Beach Camp located is 2.5 hours north of the Twin Cities and perfectly positions you to discover all the wonders of the Twin Ports. Explore this amazing area or stay at camp, set up your chair in the sand and take in the many moods of Mother Superior. Watch the ships come and go to the sparkly backdrop of Duluth’s city lights. The crackle of a driftwood fire on the beach provides the perfect soundtrack as you watch for shooting stars and the aurora. Stock up on supplies and explore the charming industrial town of Superior, WI – 15 minutes from your campsite. Spend a day mountain biking the Duluth Traverse and touring the the wonderful local dining and tap room scenes of Duluth and Superior. Canal Park, downtown Duluth, is a 25 minute drive. If you’d like to venture further, you could meander up the North Shore. Or keep it local and check out Bayfield and the Apostle Islands – only 75 minutes East. Stop through the charming lakeside village of Cornucopia on your way. Or perhaps you’d like to experience world class trout fishing on the Brule River a half hour from Superior Beach Camp. Maybe Parks are your thing: Amnicon Falls, one of Wisconsin’s most beautiful State Parks, is reachable in 10 minutes by car. Drive a half hour further to Pattison State Park and take in Wisconsin’s tallest waterfall. On the Minnesota side, the magic of Jay Cooke State Park is 30 minutes west (and puts you on the doorstep of legit white water rafting). Whether you're looking for solace and relaxation in a blissful [great] lakeside setting or simply seeking a convenient place to rest your head while exploring the many adventures a stone’s throw from your campsite, there is something for everyone who camps here. Superior Beach Camp is a clean, quiet, peaceful, primitive setting. We appreciate that our campers help us keep it this way; remember to pack in any supplies or provisions you need, and leave no trace when you depart so our next guests can enjoy a clean campsite.
