Best Campsite Choices For Lake Superior Camping

By Betty Hayes


If there is a city that has managed to remain intertwined with nature despite the effects of urbanization, it is Ontario. The city has a mix of both sides, at least if the numerous campsites and nature trails in its outskirts are anything to go by. This article looks at a few campsites that are perfect for Lake Superior camping.

The lake is renowned for its proximity to the city and its abundance of flora and fauna. Its surrounding scenery includes hills, river valleys, waterfalls and cliffs. Each year, camping groups like to paddle along the lake as well as explore the nearby hiking trails.

The local visitor center is also something worth talking about. It gives an account of the cultural history of the place in addition to offering advice on what recreational activities to participate in. If you are an avid camper, the campground options are in plenty. The municipal council runs two campsites that provide RV services. Most of the others, which are more than 200, are regular. Camping season mostly runs from May to October, so proper scheduling is in order on your part.

One perfect place for pitching up tent is the area around Bayfield Ashland. Its many campgrounds favor family groups. The municipality operates two fantastic campgrounds in Washburn too. Many campers who have RVs prefer them as they provide RV services besides having shower and flush toilet amenities. To cap it all, campers get to enjoy free WiFi.

The Amnicon Falls State Park is among the closest parks to the lake. It is renowned for its numerous spacious campgrounds, hiking trails and nearby waterfalls. However, it has no facilities for RVs. You might only want to consider it if you are looking for a fully natural camping experience. If you are looking for more amenities, head to Pattison State Park. It is located along Highway 35 on the southern section of Superior.

Other great campsites are Spirit Mountain and Indian Point. The two are situated in Duluth. Indian Point has enough capacity for up to 70 tent sites. When it comes to capacity, Spirit Mountain is not left behind as well. Many people know it for its fair RV rules and close proximity to a hiking trail.

The Ontario North Shore sites also have a reputation of their own. Many campers love to stay there overnight due to the availability of shower amenities. They are also known to be quite close to the top nature spots in the locality.

Before traveling, ensure you go over your budget closely. You need to do some homework on how much the campgrounds charge. The saving grace is that all the information you require is available on the internet. Nevertheless, many of the campsites that are privately owned tend to charge highly when the camping season reaches its peak. If you are short on cash, stay in the municipal campsites.

Motel residency is never fun when it comes to outdoor exploration. Camping is your best shot at getting fully intertwined with nature. Most important of all, it is a great bonding experience for families.
