Gitche Gumee RV Park & Campground

This is a completely honest review: Jeff was pretty cool down to earth and all that. The trees made great shade and a pretty RV park, we were charged $89 per night and there is no septic, you have to unhook and drive your rv to the exit to dump septic and there is no water for a tank flush at the septic dump. We could not take a shower in the RV because there was nowhere for the water to go, other than just dumping it into the sand. The bathrooms were mid at best, the toilets and sinks all leaked and the floor was always wet, if an elderly person slips in there they could get seriously hurt. The water pressure at the toilets was minimal, they should use a tanked system because of the lack of water pressure when all 5 showers were on. The showers there were fine no complaints on that. The bathrooms and showers are cleaned everyday at noon. The Fact that the lake was right there was nice, but you have to cross a 2 lane highway. The RV slot we were put in was super tight, my dad who is a professional truck driver who puts down well over a thousand safe miles a week had troubles getting the RV in, it took three separate attempts to get it in. Also I cut down 12 dead trees, carried them over to our site, cut, split, and stacked the wood on our site, a female worker, name unknown, was showing somebody to their spot, right next to us, she then offered the wood to the people, and when i said that is was my wood she said that she thought it was brought from the firewood station from the previous campers, the previous campers who were a group of dudes who just hang out for a few days were there for 3 days, on the second day a female worker name unknown came over and was, from what i heard, i was not there, she was screaming at them out the window of a vehicle over a noise complaint, I was with them they were not even loud those same guys who have been coming there for 15+years are finding a new place to go as they are made to feel as if they are no longer welcome there. And the water being "iron water" it was severely discolored and tasted awful. The person taking reservations overbooked and put a couple of people right next to us in the group area 19B it is NOT an RV slot, no water, or electric at that spot they were very upset. WiFi did not work unless standing on the deck of the building. That is all.

Wow. Great location!!

I stayed here twice and don't think I would return an after an unfortunate incident, it was worth me packing up and staying on the beach for my final night.

Both times (2020, 2023) I stayed here I was sold a single tent spot in the exact same location. Both times the neighbors had came to tell me that the campground often sells spots that are on their property, especially when full. They were respectful, but I was going to have to move to be off their private property.

It was quite annoying and embarrassing to have to repack up and try to get another spot.

Bathroom and showers work, but are majorly lacking. I don't expect a hotel stay, but would expect shower handles to not be electrical taped together, stall doors to be lockable etc. Cool place but felt as if it was all held together with a hope and a prayer.

Met some cool folks, watched the owner's daughter (I guess? or an employee?) come to scream at them at the top of her lungs, say some highly inappropriate things to them I cannot repeat on Google, very antagonistic, outright mean and caused me to just up and leave to sleep on the beach. If there was an issue with music (I guess the cause?), just talking with them should have handled it.

Was surprised to learn that the group is actually used as promotional material (pictures and the like) as they have been going up there for almost 15 years. They've had previous problems in the past, and for sure after this one, they have decided to seek other places to take their group.

and I don't blame them one bit.

If you want a short run to the beach while being accosted by family members of the owner, be their guest. I wish you good luck.
