Short review: Clean, easy to access and lovely amenities…read more My family is tenting across Canada and we needed a campground later into the evening. Given its proximity to the Trans-Canada highway we didn't hear the traffic beyond the dull roar. There were some freight trains and a helicopter we could late in the evening for approx 10 minutes but otherwise it was quiet. The pool is heated and they also offer a hot tub which was lovely. Shower and washroom facilities are clean & central and firewood is available onsite for sale. Owners Theresa and Norbert are courteous & friendly. Prices are a good value and I would definitely stay again.

There are 3 different campgrounds and there are a good amount of sites. Our site was very spacious and not too close to others for a campground. Very well kept, clean spaces, a place for garbage, very clean restrooms (vault toilets). Each spot has a nice fire ring and a picnic table with 2 tent spaces and parking. The lake is very nice and a great place for an evening stroll. The road coming in is mostly unpaved but I think any car could easily get in and out as it is graded. Highly recommend camping here if you want to avoid the loud/busy state parks and be out a tad.

This was an amazing place to camp for a few days! There are 2 handicapped showers, 2 regular, and…read morepiped in music! The bathrooms were exceptionally clean with counter space plus mirror to put on make-up. The amenities are vast- volleyball court, dog areas, horseshoes, basketball, catch& release pond, firewood wood for sale, fire ring, shuffle board, soccer field, pool... anything you want! The front office has the nicest people who gave us a gift of chocolates! You can't hear highway noise and only an occasional train whistle. It is close to many points of interest and was one of the best we have ever visited! I give it 6 stars!

We just wrapped up a 3 night stay. We were kind of concerned about the size of the spot 167, but…read moreended up preferring it over other spots we've used. To say they are pet-friendly would be an understatement. On arrival, it was like walking into a kennel - dogs barking from all directions, some off leashes. This went on the enire first day and night. As a dog lover, I was still annoyed, especially when the 430am rounds kicked in. We had the fan running, a noise machine & still got little sleep. The 2nd day was like being in a different campground... far more as expected. Yes, there were still dogs barking once in a while, but it wasn't nonstop and there weren't any roamers. We slept well the rest of our stay with one other downside. The position of the sewer hose connection - it had no threads and was sunken in too far, actually beliw the ground. This prevented us from having a secure connection - meaning we would get odor. We greatly enjoyed the privacy trees, night skies & convenient location. We still feel the pros outweigh the cons, friendly staff & the price is reasonable. We will stay again & will look at getting an adapter to help with the sewer issue... cuz ewww

Stopped here specifically for Devils kettle and it was quite the sight to see!…read moreAlthough this is only a 2 mile hike, I would say it is not easy. You're pretty much on an incline the whole mile then have to descend ~200 stairs and back up another small incline to get to the kettle. Then climb those stairs to head back home. Make sure to take your time and bring water. Along the way there are plenty of lookouts and rest stops. The only bummer was that the access to the bottom of a smaller waterfall was closed. It looked like there used to be steps and a walk down but it was roped off. Another more adventurous couple scaled down to get some pics but we played it safe. If you're up north, this is a must do hike.

A beautiful state park! The campground and trails are incredible and very well maintained…read more We stayed at site 55 in the lower campground. A great site and fairly secluded considering it was in the middle of the campground. They have beautiful sites that sit right at the shoreline of Lake Superior but the downfall to that is your right next to the public picnic area. So scenic view, yes, but can get quite busy around your site. The lower campground only has pit toilets but the upper campground is about a 8-10 minute walk where they have beautiful bathrooms! If you're camping in the lower campground, the turn into the park is BEFORE you get to the main entrance. It took us a bit to figure out how to get to our site. But now we know! One thing that surprised me was how quiet the campground was. The moment it hit 9:30/9:45pm it was SILENT. A high level of respect for the "quiet hours" but I will say highway 61 is very close to the sites so you will hear highway noise all day and night. It never bothered us but worth the mention if you're a light sleeper.

Spending time along the north shore is always a joy. It's a hike to get to from the cities, but the…read moredrive is worth it. I appreciate the camping location off the highway but a quick walk to the lake from the campgrounds. Listening to the waves crash from the campsite is such a calm and relaxing experience. It is a little strange to have parking outside of the actual park for people to visit the two sections on either side of the river. A little inconvenient if you're in the park and want to walk over that way, in my opinion. This is one difficult locations to book for camping if you're looking for a weekend. There is no dump station at this park, so we usually have to drive about 40 min to another park with one.

I learned that day that she was not only from Thunder Bay, but that there was a giant. And apparently he nods off from time to time. So, I figured, heck, when in Rome... This being Thunder Bay, however, I elected on going to look at a rock that looked like a snoozing Goliath. One of the best vantage points is Marina Park. Right on the shore of Lake Superior, you're able to walk the length of the park right by the water, taking in the boats moored on the pier, or if so inclined, you can use the skateboard park that's available. I didn't. Being on the west side of Lake Superior, you can well imagine that sunrises here would be fantastic. Of course, there's the Sleeping Giant. As soon as I saw it, I knew what she meant. I saw the head, the body, the whole thing that looks like a big guy taking a nap. My buddies that were with me saw nothing but rocks. But that's okay. They suck at Magic Eye as well. And have no imagination.
