Hike-in to some sites at this Hipcamp.
At Amnicon you'll find the perfect blend of far-enough-away and easy-enough-to-get-to. We're located at the end of a 5-mile-long dirt road, just 30 minutes outside of Duluth, MN. Our site features 600 acres of protected forests along the Amnicon River on the South Shore of Lake Superior. The wildlife is abundant, and we even have an eagle's nest on site. You'll enjoy falling asleep to the sound of the waves on Lake Superior, and waking up to 118+ species of birdsongs. We have an enormous sandy beach on Lake Superior that's a great place to watch the sunset and have a SMALL campfire. You're going to love it here.

Balsam (Hike-In Site)

93% (15)
Tent site · Sleeps 6
It's a lovely 10-15 minute walk from our main basecamp (and parking lot) to the Balsam campsite. The site features a picnic table and a firepit. It's set back from the main trail a little ways to ensure privacy. On one side of the site you'll see the Amnicon River Valley, and on the other side of the site you can kinda see Lake Superior through the trees. The beach is another 5-10 minute walk down the hill. Flushing toilets and hot showers are available in our main lodge back at basecamp. Water for drinking is available at basecamp as well. Handcarts for hauling gear and water jugs are available to borrow for no additional charge.

It's a lovely 20-25 minute hike (3/4 mile) to get out to this hike-in, back-country campsite. The campsite features a picnic table and a campfire pit. Surrounded by forest, and close to Lake Superior, you'll fall asleep hearing only the sounds of nature. Hot showers and flushing toilets are available in the main lodge back at basecamp (near the parking lot). Drinking water is also available from basecamp as well.

Tent site · Sleeps 6
This hike-in campsite is a great way to spend time near Lake Superior. It's located just a quarter mile down an easy walking trail from the main basecamp and parking area. It features three tent pads, picnic table, animal-proof food locker, and an outhouse. Hot showers and flushing toilets are available in the main lodge back at basecamp. Drinking water is available from basecamp as well (bring your own water jugs). There are handcarts available in front of the lodge for you to use to bring your luggage and water out to the site. While you're camping here, you'll have access to our enormous sandy beach on Lake Superior (just an additional 10-15 minute hike from the campsite), as well as several hiking trails on our site. You can swim at the beach on Lake Superior, or from the dock on the Amnicon River. There are several state parks within easy driving distance from us, and Duluth is only 30 minutes away.

Glamping Wall-Tent (#1)

88% (4)
Canvas tent · Sleeps 6
It's a lovely 10-15 minute walk from our main basecamp (and parking lot) to our seasonal retreat facility (called Adizokan Village). At Adizokan Village we have 5 platform wall-tents that each sleep up to 6 people on real beds. It's a glamour-camping kind of experience. You get to fall asleep listening to the waves on Lake Superior and feeling the fresh outdoors air in your lungs, while enjoying the comforts of a real mattress and the ease of having your tent already set up before you arrive. Private access with each reservation: 1 platform wall-tent (with 6 twin-sized beds), 1 low-odor outhouse Available for shared use at Adizokan Village: campfire ring with benches, cooking fire ring with adjustable grate, picnic pavilion, animal-proof food locker We have an enormous, gorgeous, SANDY beach on Lake Superior that's just a 1-2 minute walk down the hill from Adizokan Village. Flushing toilets and hot showers are available in our main lodge back at basecamp. Water for drinking is available at basecamp as well. Handcarts for hauling gear and water jugs are available to borrow for no additional charge.

Our recent trip offered a blend of comfort and natural beauty, though it was unfortunately cut short by an overwhelming tick problem. The outhouse was not cleaned so we took the 5 minute walk back to the lodge. The lodge had clean bathrooms and hot showers. The real star of the show is the private beach. We truly lost track of time while we were there. We would possibly come back but not stay at the Hazel campsite.

A Mixed Reviewof Bliss and Bites
Hazel (walk-in site)
Our recent camping trip offered a blend of comfort and natural beauty, though it was unfortunately cut short by an overwhelming tick problem. The amenities at the lodge were fantastic. Having readily available water, clean toilets, and hot water made our stay incredibly comfortable and convenient. The outhouse hasn't been cleaned from last year so we chose the 5 min walk back to the lodge. However, the real star of our trip was undoubtedly the private beach. We truly lost track of time while we were there, spending hours soaking in its beauty. It was absolutely stunning. Unfortunately, getaway took a sharp turn when we encountered an alarming number of ticks. It was truly a shame to cut our trip short, but the sheer volume of ticks became unbearable.

Sure! Here's a positive human-style review for Amnicon Falls State Park Campground: --- I recently camped at Amnicon Falls State Park, and I absolutely loved the experience. The campground is peaceful, clean, and surrounded by beautiful forest. The best part for me was the waterfalls—they’re just a short walk from the campsites and look stunning, especially at sunset. The trails are easy to explore and perfect for a relaxing hike or just enjoying the sounds of nature. The campsites are well spaced out, so you don’t feel crowded, and there’s plenty of shade from the trees. I stayed at a non-electric site, and it was really quiet and relaxing. There are basic amenities like clean vault toilets and drinking water, which was all I needed for a rustic experience. It’s also a great place for families. I saw kids running around, building fairy houses, and enjoying the outdoors. It’s close enough to Duluth if you need supplies but far enough to feel like you’ve really escaped the city. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a peaceful, nature-filled camping trip with beautiful scenery and great trails!

Awesome secluded camp sites. A nice little walk to the south shore with a semi-private beach was such a nice perk! The walk to and from the camp site to the parking area can get long if you have a ton of stuff so pack light and snag a wagon!

We loved the whole experience at Camp Amnicon. We used the carts to load our supplies and hike to the Balsam site. They worked great, trail was well maintained. The facilities were open for bathroom/shower use. Staff was unintrusive but friendly. The hiking trails and access to the lakeshore was great. We truly have no complaints. It was a great weekend, and we will definitely be back :)

The proximity to Lake Superior is the game changer for this property. It is such a privilege to be able to walk for just 2 minutes from the Wall Tents and be down on a 1/2 mile long private beach on Lake Superior. Absolutely stunning.

Glamping Wall-Tent (#1)
Having the beach right down from camp was a diamond to our trip . Watching the sunset and then a quick hike up the hill to our tent was the best! It is a cart in and I’d be prepared for mud and water when carting in. There was a large tear in the tent screen but we did not have problems with bugs as we kept that flap shut.

Overall, this place is truly magical, and I would camp here again, but in my own tent. We arrived at night, and mistakingly used the gps coordinates in google maps which took us to an incorrect location. (Use Camp Amnicon as your destination in google maps!) I love that you have to hike to the sites, as it feels like you're far away from civilization. As others have mentioned, the hike is about 15 minutes. They provide carts for the hike in, which is awesome. The path was muddy, but that's to be expected from the listing details and past reviews. Fresh water and a sink are provided under the pavilion near the tents, which is another bonus. There aren't numbered signs on the tents (that I could see), so it was a little difficult finding ours in the dark, but we made our best guess and there were no problems. The beach is seconds away down a short, yet steep path. Sunset was absolutely beautiful, as was an evening campfire on the beach. Nighttime sounds of waves, loons, and passing ships were incredible! The only thing that troubled me was our tent had many holes, and the walls were not tightly secured to the platform. This resulted in bugs in our tent, and our dog slipped under the tent walls in the middle of the night and got skunked. Not fun, but just an unfortunate accident. The tents are close enough that you can hear other campers, so it is more of a communal vibe. I would definitely stay here again, in my own secure, more private tent site!

The camp was very hospitable. However, the trail that led from the parking lot to our campsite was poorly maintained. The site was damp and unkept. I would book this site again, but pay closer attention to the hike in description. Not an easy site to access with coolers and camp chairs!

This property is amazing. Spending time at the huge beach was definitely the highlight. The trails are nice and extensive, but after rainfall very muddy. If there is rain in the forecast or after a heavy rainfall, I would stay away from the Alder campsite and book Balsam of Hazel. Staff was very friendly.

This is a nice rustic camp inside of a beautiful property with huge private beach access on Lake Superior Things to know before you go. The hike in is about 1 miles on an easy trail. You should treat this as a backpacking site, and bring gear to match. The are aeval places for tents with small footprints; there is not a good place for a large footprint tent. Carts are available to haul your gear; but the trail is just that a trail not a road and it's hard to get the carts to the site. If you prep yourself as a backpacking site with access to an amazing property and beach you will love this site

Upgraded to platform tent
Tent ·
Alder (Hike-in Site)
We truly enjoyed our experience. The Alder campsite had an issue so they upgraded us to a platform tent. The platform tent is NOT a glamping tent, but it was dry and bug free and the beds were comfortable. I also misunderstood and they were still a solid half mile from the parking lot, so prepare for a walk! The beach was easy to access and beautiful. We enjoyed sunsets and rock collecting at the beach. The bathrooms at the lodge were clean. We truly almost had the woods to ourselves. I would be prepared if hiking in for longish grass.

We went end of June (after heavy recent rains) and it was very muddy on the trail to camp and at camp. Lots of slugs at the site, too. I recommend packing for this campsite as it you’re going backpacking. Trying to pull all your gear on the carts through the mud is not a pleasant experience. We wore our rain boots the entire weekend except for when we went down to the beach. The beach is awesome! Perfect sunset-watching and it’s cool to have the river outlet nearby.

Mud & Bees & Showers Oh My
Glamping Wall-Tent (#1)
I arrived to camp late (unforeseen circumstances on my end) and was excited up until I saw how much mud and water I was going to have to hike through. Nevertheless I made it to my tent and as soon as I entered I was the target of two angry yellow jackets. I realize its nature but wasn’t expecting two nests inside the tent with live bees hiding in them. Anytime I turned a light on it made me a shining beacon for them to attack. I left before 0800 the next morning and again was unimpressed with the amount of mud and water I had to trek through. Fortunately I was able to use the shower before leaving due to the amount of mud that was caked on my lower half. Ultimately I have mixed feelings but do believe it’s nice place for families and groups to spend time outside together.

The Balsam campsite was beautiful, peaceful, secluded, and just a short walk to Lake Superior. The staff at the Camp Amnicon were all very friendly and helpful and provided a cart for us to haul our stuff out to the campsite. I would definitely recommend this place, especially as a great alternative to crowded, sometimes noisy campgrounds. :)
