Blissful Lake Superior Beach
Highly Recommend
Amazing! There is a small hike in the woods to get to the site but it is well marked and nothing too bad. My boyfriend and I went to celebrate our anniversary and fell in love with this spot.

Blissful Lake Superior Beach
Beautiful beach, difficult campsite
It was magical sitting on the beach with a fire, watching the sun set over Duluth. Really cool to be able to camp right on the beach. However, was it worth the price of a nice hotel? You will have to decide that for yourself. To help you out, there are a few things you need to know: Pack light because it is a steep trek over uneven ground to your site. Site number 1 where we stayed was really not usable, so we ended up moving down to the beach. The wooden platform is the only place to pitch a tent, but there is no place to stake your tent down or even close trees to tie it to. A huge problem if it is windy and rainy like we experienced. The site is really steep, with a huge depression in the middle, and cut or snapped off branches sticking out all over the ground so it is hard to move around in the site or set up anywhere else on the hillside. Also, it is covered in clay, which is really slippery when wet and your shoes will have large cakes of clay stuck to the bottom of them. There is a massive pile of debris at the bottom of the hill made up of driftwood and what looks like vegetation that was bulldozed to clear the campsite. Also, when we arrived there was another couple that had a confirmation that they also had site number one. We had to call John to straighten that out. They apparently had a different site, but it was pretty awkward when we both had gotten confirmation of site number one.
We ended up having a great time because we stayed on the beach instead of the campsite clearing, but I am left wondering why just a little more effort wasn’t put in to make the actual campsite more usable, especially given what we paid to camp there.

The sandbox premiere camping
Very nice campsite and the beach was beautiful. The walk from the car to the campsite is a bit of a hike so be warned.

Blissful Lake Superior Beach
Beautiful swimming in August!
Beautiful beach & view of Duluth lights at night. Long walk to sites (~200 yards?) that wasn’t super obvious in site description. Awesome swimming in August w shallow water & sandy bottom for about a hundred yards out. So fun! Can’t see the two other sites from the campsite but can see them from the beach. Not really clear how beach sharing is supposed to go. Grateful for the access to camping on the south shore of Lake Superior!

Blissful Lake Superior Beach
We had such a wonderful time! It was so unique to be able to camp on the shore of Superior & in such a private, remote spot.

The sandbox premiere camping
A sandy adventure.
Camping right next to Lake Superior was amazing. Being able to swim was an unexpected treat. The views were spectacular and the privacy was nice. The walk to the camp was a little more extensive than I expected. It’s more of a hike than a walk🤔 The steps down to the beach were only cut out of the clay and somewhat steep with nothing to hold on to. So if you want to stay here be ready for an adventure and lots and lots and lots of sand.
