Used this campground as a base for touring the area.. So much to see, road tunnels, loading iron ore, old railroad engines, Lake Superior, largest iron ore mine at Hibbing, old city of Virginia, and of course Ely. Will stay here again if in the area We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great sites overlooking the lake. Some of the others were smallish, but wooded, so you can choose what you want. Our site was very deep and directly overlooked Lake Superior. We were pleased and already made reservations for two trips next year. They did have wireless internet available in the office area. I thought the rate was very reasonable considering what we have encountered elsewhere. No cable TV, but you can get the local stations out of Duluth very clearly. Golf course right across the street as well. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Nice spot on a cliff overlooking Lake Superior. It's right on the 2-lane highway going north out of town, and is a little noisy with traffic during the day, but was nicely quiet at night. Great people in the office, and there are people going around the grounds constantly making sure things are up to par. We could stay only 2 nights, but wished we could have stayed longer. Rating is lower than it could be only because our site didn't even approach being level, and we saw many other sites in the same condition. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great views, as campground is right on Lake Superior! Some sites have side by side hookups, which are always a little inconvenient. Also, more 50 amp hookups would be nice, along with more sewer sites. Very difficult to get reservations here, and most sites are taken, sometimes almost a year in advance. Campground is owned by the City of Two Harbors, and is well maintained. Lakeview National Golf course is just across Highway 61, is fun and inexpensive. It also can be walked to from the campground.

We stayed here during the Kayak-Fest weekend. The campground as full. Sites are small and close together. You will really know your neighbor! Many sites have no room between trailers/tents to walk. Tents were pitched everywhere/anywhere there was space. Water quality was poor, taste-wise. Campfires were impossible, as sies were so close. Worst of all was the mens rest rooms with one toilet/2 showers to the 52 campsites in our section. 7AM was a definate social hour while standing in line. I feel the place was overpriced for a parking lot with hookups, but this is the tourist attraction of the "North Shore". I enjoyed the Kayak Fest, but would not stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This park was less than one mile from the very pleasant town. The local tourist bureau is next door. The office was able to give us the names of two businesses in town that had free Wifi. This was a great point for sightseeing in the area. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a very nice park with some sites that back up to a wonderful view of Lake Superior. The price was a little higher than we usually pay, but was well worth it for a few days. The biggest problem with this campground is that they take reservations well in advance so you might have a hard time getting in in the prime season. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very popular city campground, right on Lake Superior. Centrally located to visit many sites along Lake Superior. Reservations are not online and fill up fast during the weekends. Ample sites and clean. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Nice RV Park on the North end of town some on the beach of Lake Superior. Were building new restroom while we were there. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
About midway between Two Harbors and Silver Bay on 61. Abundant shade in campsites. Only reason I don't rate this park higher is no electricity. You gotta boondock here. As with all Minn. St. Parks permits are obligatory if you are spending three nights or more or anticipate visiting other parks on the north shore buy the annual sticker at $25. Minnesota uses a rolling year so chances are sticker will still be good next season. Sanitary building is spotless. Gooseberry has excellent facilities with large visitor center/gift shop, miles of trails (some ADA and paved), and Lake Superior location (good for boatwatchers). As with any park on the north shore reservations are a MUST during peak season. Best for tents, pop-ups, and smaller trailers. We camped here in a Tent.
This campground is aesthetically pleasing, meets basic needs, value priced, but it doesn’t have the all of the amenities of the more highly rated campgrounds. There isn’t a pool, playground, wi-fi, cable, and sewer at every site. The voltage is only 30A and there is some noise from a nearby four-lane road. However, it is a very nice, immaculately maintained campground. The roads are gravel in very good condition and the pads are a combination of gravel and grass. All sites are pull-through and the majority of the sites will accommodate a large rig. Some minor maneuvering may be required due to the trees near them. Picnic tables are at each site. There aren’t any fire rings, but most sites have a dug out portion of the ground in which to have a campfire. The bathhouse is an older cinder block structure, but it was spotless. The voltage was good, but not strong. Power management is required in a 50A rig. Tents are allowed, but not on the RV sites. The campground doesn’t take credit cards. The owners live on site and manage the campground. They provide excellent customer service. If you call and give them a little notice of your arrival someone will meet you in the campground to discuss which site best suits your rig and needs. You get the final choice of sites. They are also well versed on the tourist information. Despite the lack of amenities, I give it a good rating. It was too well run and maintained not to do so. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice quiet place along Highway 61 south of Two Harbors. Owners are friendly helpful people who have live there a long time and give lots of advice about what to see in the area. 3rd time that we have camped there. We will probably go back again next summer as we like the area. Not busy with kids or other distractions like the other muni campground at Two Harbors. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a Mom & Pop campground. It was a nice clean park, lots of grass & well maintained. Roads were gravel. Sites were grass long pull thrus. Some sites wern't very level. Most sites could accommodate big rigs. The park has few amenities. We camped here in a Motorhome.
