Nestled in a forest on the western high point of Duluth, Minnesota, Spirit Mountain Campground offers walk-in tenting as well as 73 campsites equipped with fire pits, picnic tables, and electricity. Easy access to our award-winning Mountain Bike Trails, our Adventure Park and Superior Hiking Trail.
Thirty-nine sites have water hook-ups, and two shower buildings offer 24-hour convenience.
Spirit Mountain overlooks majestic Lake Superior and the St. Louis Bay. Natural beauty abounds in the area– you can quickly and easily access water, hiking and biking trails and much more. The trailhead for the Superior Hiking Trail is within walking distance of the Campground. And near the Campground, there is an overlook area of Lake Superior, the bay, the St. Louis River, and the Aerial Lift Bridge.
Just take Exit #249 off of Interstate 35 and follow the Frontage Road signs to our campground office on the right-hand side of the road.
We have been here two times over the last couple years. This is one of our favorite campgrounds! The location is perfect, close to Duluth but far enough out so you can avoid the traffic. The adventure park is fun for the whole family! The washhouses have seen better days but they are always kept clean!
Pretty enjoyable spot. Make sure to bring your own grill or tripod for the firepit if you're planning to cook. Also the tent area can only fit a 4 person tent max.
Not being the most experienced camper, I'm not sure how this place stacks up against others. I will say the spaces are pretty close together. So if you are looking for privacy, do what I did and go for a spot that is a bit more close to the periphery.
I will say a lot of these people who complain seem to complain a lot for people who are camping. I mean, camping means that you are gonna rough at a little, no matter how much you pay, you're camping, there are going to be things that aren't gonna be perfect.
Bunch of babies... lol... If you love to complain about things not being like a hotel at a campground, maybe you should stay home? Or just get a hotel.
And to the folks who complain about the place not being level... It's Duluth!!! Everything is on a Hill!! Even this flatlander from Chicargo can see that, and I except and adapt to it.
You want a flat place to camp? Go to Illinois, where it's really freaking boring, but at least it's flat.
I dig this camp ground and I'll choose it again next year.
This place is great! Not 1 single mosquito. They must spray the living daylights out of the place, but it's worth it's weight in gold. All else is as you would expect from a campground.
Bonus, great spot for mountain biking. Ride down in the morning, and then close out at the end of the day, all without getting in the car.
