Best Campsite Choices For Lake Superior Camping

By Betty Hayes


If there is a city that has managed to remain intertwined with nature despite the effects of urbanization, it is Ontario. The city has a mix of both sides, at least if the numerous campsites and nature trails in its outskirts are anything to go by. This article looks at a few campsites that are perfect for Lake Superior camping.

Besides sitting close to the city, the other areas that surround the lake are incredibly beautiful. The scenery includes cliffs, waterfalls, hills, beaches and river valleys. Most campers who visit like to hike and paddle near the shoreline of the lake.

The local visitor center is also something worth talking about. It gives an account of the cultural history of the place in addition to offering advice on what recreational activities to participate in. If you are an avid camper, the campground options are in plenty. The municipal council runs two campsites that provide RV services. Most of the others, which are more than 200, are regular. Camping season mostly runs from May to October, so proper scheduling is in order on your part.

One perfect place for pitching up tent is the area around Bayfield Ashland. Its many campgrounds favor family groups. The municipality operates two fantastic campgrounds in Washburn too. Many campers who have RVs prefer them as they provide RV services besides having shower and flush toilet amenities. To cap it all, campers get to enjoy free WiFi.

If you are looking for a serene place that is significantly close to the lake, you should camp at Amnicon Falls State Park. It has a glowing reputation for its several spacious campsites, waterfalls and hiking trails. The drawback is that there are no RV facilities. It is a great place to head to for those purely seeking an unhindered experience with nature. The nearby Pattison State Park has got more amenities. It lies on the southern part of Superior along Highway 35.

Indian Point and Spirit Mountain campgrounds are also fairly decent. They are located close by in Duluth. In particular, Indian Point features 70 tent sites that are quite spacious. Spirit Mountain also features a considerable number of tent sites. It is also well known for its favorable RV rules, not to mention the nearby hiking trail.

Other noteworthy sites are in the Ontario North Shore. A vast proportion of campsites in this region have shower facilities. Most importantly, they lie right in the heart of the best nature zones in the whole locality.

Before you travel, remember to plan your budget well. In this regard, a little research on the prices in most of the campgrounds would help. This information is always available online, so getting it should not be a problem. Majority of the privately owned campsites can be costly during peak camping season. If you are on a budget, you had better try the municipal ones.

It is never fun to reside in motels when exploring nature. For an uninterrupted dalliance with nature, you should certainly think of camping. It also provides the perfect opportunity to get closer to your loved ones.

  1. We stayed at Spirit Lake Marina and RV Park in our travel trailer - it's just outside the main area of Duluth. That was the most unique campground - it's mostly a marina, so all the campsites are backed up to boat slips. And Burlington Bay Campground in Two Harbors was a great location with great views of Lake Superior!
