From Duluth, MN take Hwy 61 (North Shore Drive) 2 hours to Grand Marias, MN. Pass thru Grand Marais and turn left on the Gunflint Trail Natl. Scenic Byway (cook county 12). Travel 43 Miles to S. Gunflint Lake Rd (cook county 20 -old 50). There's a large sign at the corner of the Gunflint Trail and S. Gunflint Lake Rd. Turn right, then travel about 1.1 miles. You'll pass by the Gunflint Lodge, we'll be the next property on the left. the speed limit is 50, unless marked otherwise.
Great camper cabin near Gunflint lodge for zip lining and Chilwauk museum. Comfy bunk beds. Basic but clean. Hot coffee and hot cocoa served in the store/lodge. Wonderful owners who were very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend for a quick getaway.
Camped here prior to a backpacking trip, by recommendation of a BWCA Facebook group member. Worth all the pennies. The main lodge has the best pantry I've ever seen if you need any last minute items. Friendly staff. Shower facilities available right in the middle of the grounds. I had the most perfect campsite with an incredible view of the lake - there were even Adirondack chairs and a picnic table set up to watch the sunset. I'll definitely return prior to any long trip again.
We rented a camping cabin over Labor Day weekend and absolutely loved our experience. It was exactly what we expected & more! It was so quaint, peaceful, and quiet. The beds were just what we needed & just enough space! Two picnic tables, a fire pit, & a grill are all included. The lake was beautiful — we loved our half day on their pontoon rental! Their store was stocked with everything you could need. Firewood was conveniently placed in milk crates for purchase as well. And the ice cream was SO good! Shari & Sandy (the owners) were so kind. We loved chatting with them throughout our stay! They work so hard to make sure their guests are having a great experience. We can’t wait to come back someday! We highly recommend!!!
I cannot express the gratitude I had for the staff! If we needed something, they went above and beyond to help us. You can tell all the staff enjoy what they do and they treat their customers so well! The cabin was cozy and so cute and had everything we needed! The views are absolutely breathtaking! It was quiet for our entire stay. The bathrooms were the cleanest we ever have seen at a campsite. I would recommend them to anyone and I will definitely be going back!
