Description
iOverlander cannot verify if wild camping is permitted at this location. It is your responsibility to verify local laws or obtain consent before staying the night.
Looks used quite often. I'd say medium clearance, there was a couple big rocks on the drive in and to get to the farther spots you'd probably want decent clearance. I opt'd for a lower spot close to the entrance but the path keeps going back towards more good decently leveled camping spots. The one on top of the hill already had a fire ring made out of rocks with recent burnt wood in it. I pulled in about 4:30pm on a Sat and another couple had pulled in with a rooftop tent as well around 5:30. It's about a 15min drive from Two Harbors and about a 5min drive to Gooseberry Falls State Park. Some mosquitos and flies but is typical around this time of the year. There's Limited dispersed car camping this close to the shore line but I'd def camp here again!!
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.
Latest Check-Ins
Nice spot. Well off the road with little "local" traffic to speak of. I'm on a full size SUV and I would caution against anything much larger. There are a few places to camp, but the sites up on the higher terrain will only be accessible with a 4x4.
If you have something along the lines of a tear drop trailer you should be fine. Bring saws or your own fuel to burn as the area has been pretty well scavenged for firewood. There are plenty of resources around, but they are a walk. I stayed at one spot up high to have a fire and cook, but relocated to a lower spot out of the wind. It's winter and no one is camping right now, so there's lots of privacy.
As the previous descriptions list, this site is down a back road with medium clearance. Not passable if it’s rained recently. Ok for a van or short RV.
At the end of the road is a hilly section with 5 tent sites. Only the first site is accessible for a camper or short RV.
Report Check-InAs stated. Exact gps is critical. Access road looks like a Garden path on right inside corner going up hill Easy to miss. Road in is rocky and clearance under and over the vehicle can be tight. We made it to good lookout spot carefully. Promaster short and tall. But beautiful when you get there. Quiet and not busy on a Friday. Close to Betty’Pies. You have to go!
