Your camping choices on the North Shore of Lake Superior are plentiful. The primitive, solitary spots are farthest from the hubs along the North Shore and the Gunflint Trail. Several privately operated campgrounds are located along Scenic 61, near the villages along Lake Superior's shore and up the Gunflint Trail. Large portions of northeastern Minnesota is public forest land. The Superior National Forest covers over three million acres, and includes the million-acre Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCA). Camping is allowed anywhere in the Superior National Forest except where it is posted otherwise. In the BWCA, permits for entry are required and each entry point has a daily quota. --Please respect private land and owners-- |
