We stayed here August 2nd & 3rd, 2020. We got here late in the afternoon without a reservation and scored the last open campsite. Most campsites appeared to have been reserved in advance. It seemed like many of the campers were staying here before and after paddling trips into the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. There are limited services along Gunflint Trail but there did seem to be gasoline and snacks. We never got any cell signal in this area. The condition of Gunflint Trail was excellent but the gravel road connecting to the campground was somewhat bumpy but not challenging, even with the limited ground clearance of our vehicle. We were in a camper van. A larger RV or trailer up to 25' or so would not have been any problem. The campsites are primitive but they are mostly level, have fire rings, a picnic table, they are nicely secluded from one another. We could hear the people in the neighboring campsites but they weren't loud or anything. This was our first first visit to the Gunflint area. We did not try any fishing or paddling but that seemed to be the main attraction. There were bugs but with repellant it was tolerable. Would visit again but will bring a kayak and fishing gear next time.
