From jct I-35 (exit 256B) & Lake Ave: Go 1/8 mi SE on Lake Ave (get in right lane) to Railroad St, then 1/8 mi SW to S Lake Ave (immediate left lane), then 3/4 mi SE over aerial bridge to 10th St W, then 1/8 mi W.
If you love Duluth, this is your place to go right on the water, overlooking the beautiful boats in the marina super pretty at night and easy access to everything over the bridge
We stayed at the Lakehead Boat Basin in our RV. The location was amazing. We rode our bikes to the Aquarium and the Vista Boat Tours but you could also walk. It was nice not to have to worry about parking. We enjoyed watching the boat traffic in the bay and the Aerial Lift Bridge going up and down. It was fun staying in the Marina and there are some Fishing Charters available there. I wish I had known that sooner. The dump station would be better if there was a fresh water flush available. We plan to stay here again on our next visit to Duluth.
I am repeating what was previously said so well by another reviewer, with whom I agree.
"Right on the water! Was a great location by the lift bridge and close to everything by the canal. The bath house was super clean. It was all paved which was not a problem at all to us."
It could be a little tight maneuvering a 30 foot or more rig, for some people.
I almost don't want to tell you about them so I can keep this hidden gem to myself!!! Except Jodi and her family are so lovely I want all the people to give them all the business!!!
We've come here enough that our kids have built a comfort in being at the marina and that in and of itself is worth it.
Bathroom and laundry and the Fairfield Inn, dumpster for the garbage, all I have to do is park and enjoy my time?!? #Perfection
Camping here was recommended by another camper we met on our way back from Glacier. Frankly I’d avoid the place. We hauled our 5th wheel here only to be assigned a site what we couldn’t get into. They had pulled a big 45’ boat out and parked the boat lift right in the way. We ended up getting our money back and drove to a more traditional camp ground.
The boat basin is in great location right downtown and a close drive to the beach but the campground is just all pavement so you are camping on a parking lot. If you don’t mid that and have a smaller right then it might work for a night or two.
The two red stripes are the camping in the attached photo.
