Amazing dark sky spot for the stars and Milky Way! Perfect for astronomy enthusiasts. When doing astrophotography, there's a little bit of light pollution to the northeast from Duluth and a little to the south from the Twin Cities metro but it is pretty negligible and not that noticeable by the naked eye.
Nice campground with access to off-road trails. Don't expect showers or anything like that here though. There is a well pump for water which was nice. My only gripe is they expect you to pay online and nobody in my group got any cell service at all in the campground
Sorry, not for me. Too many big rig RVs. Too many big ATV trailers. Too many ATVs driving thru the campground. And it was packed on a Fall Friday morning.
But it is a pretty and scenic spot.
A total of 18 campsites. Ten down by the lake and another eight up the hill. Both have a well water pump and also pit toilets that have 12 inch vent pipes (meaning they don't smell like hell). I missed getting a picture of #7. #12 is an accessibility site and can only be taken by non-disabled if it is the last spot open that day.
I absolutely LOVE Gafvert CG!!! Beautiful sites for our 32' camper and most of the sites are surrounded by trees and brush , so your really secluded! Another great thing is that there is plenty of fire wood available to foraging so you don't have to bring a ton with you! Plus it help keep the campground groomed!!
Yes, there IS 4 wheeler noise but it's only coming and good noise, otherwise wheeler,motorcycles, quads etc.. are on the trails!!
This I'd my Happy Place!! Heading there now!!
