Cloquet / Duluth KOA Journey

Absolutely loved our stay at spot 53! It’s a cozy back-in site tucked away in the woods, which made for a perfect little getaway. We brought our 17ft Ice Castle, and it fit perfect. The location is super convenient—near the bathroom and only a short walk to the pool area. The campground itself was really enjoyable, and we can’t wait to come back for another visit. Highly recommend it.

We have stayed here at the Cloquet KOA over the last 12 years. In early June we came and tented. Staying back in the secluded tent area was a blessing. We now have returned early August in a camper cabin. The staff the three interactions we have had. Have been incredibly rude as well as short and rude to our children. Told my boys to "Get Out" of the hot tub or they were kicked out for the entire weekend. The boys weren't in the hottub 30 seconds and there was no other warnings. Sat and starred as we were parking by our Cabin. Over the year's I have done nothing but rant and rave over how nice this camp site was. However that will not be happening any longer. Along with the rude staff the bathrooms smelled awful. Our cabin was filthy, run down and many pieces broken (our key and lock), pl

This is a nice campsite, with lots of shade, a pool, playground, etc. There is a dog walk, however there was never any dog waste bags in the dispenser (we were there 4 days). The wifi only works up near the office/laundry area. While some sites have sewer, most do not, however they do offer a free service to come empty your tanks - thank you!

Train comes a few times during the day and a couple times at 3:30 am and 4 am every day. It’s a big mud pit if it rains and a dust bowl when it dries they are in need of adding gravel. They use the blower to remove the dust that settles on the walk ways which is nice but it blows into the bathroom and shower floor so now the shower floors are coated in mud. The playground and swing set they have is run down and rusted out. They happen to be celebrating Carlton daze happening that weekend so I also heard the sound of concert music in the evening on Saturday until midnight. Pool needed tending to also. Staff seemed pleasant. And it was a decent site. Not my favorite place to visit and will not be returning.

Avoid this place. Staff are obnoxious and rude. Racing around in golf carts way faster than the posted speed limit, putting children in danger. Would not recommend. Edit: forgot to mention, window screens in our cabin all broken, cabin filled with bugs, even though this has been mentioned in reviews from weeks ago. Also, very inhospitable if you have kids.
