Alder (Hike-in Site)
Upgraded to platform tent
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.
Balsam (Hike-In Site)
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.
Glamping Wall-Tent (#4)
The place was simple and in a beautiful space. Would have been a fine stay if not for the very muddy path leading to the tents.

Balsam (Hike-In Site)
I enjoyed my time at my hike in tent site. It was a beautiful secluded area, hearing the waves from the shore of lake superior and the wind through the trees. The only downside was the rain and mosquitoes that brings. Nothing that the host could change.

Mud & Bees & Showers Oh My
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.
Hazel (walk-in site)
Great organization and communication about the site. We had the Hazel camp site. Unfortunately, it was very wet and soggy all over. I would defiantly recommend the Amnicon camp to anybody, but I would avoid the Hazel campsite next time
