Flour Lake Campground

One of the most beautiful places I have camped in northern Minnesota. Our site had direct access to Flour Lake with amazing views. Being in a secluded area the wild life is very active. We were fortunate enough to see moose, deer, wolves, and loons calling every night and morning on the lake. Highly recommend for those who love to camp far from others.

Spent a week in June camping with my family. Campsites have no hook-ups, so this is off-the-grid. The whole place is wooded. There are pit toilets which are remarkably clean and stink-free and good drinking water is available at several spigots around the campground. The campground host is friendly. ||||The lake is lovely, clear water. Boats can be rented at adjacent lodge. Lodge also sells bait and other basic provisions and allows campers to take showers for $6. They are friendly and welcoming.||||There are fish. There are miles and miles of hiking trails. ||||The one thing you must be prepared for is the mosquitoes. ||||They are merciless. ||||$20/night

My wife, 2 young boys and I had a great stay at Flour this summer. We did not reserve a site but found one that was spacious and reasonably private for our family. Not all sites are created equal, much like any campground, so you often have to luck out into a great site or have stayed once and done some scouting so you know which ones to book on your next stay. None of the sites I saw were bad though, just some better than others. No bath facilities, which is fine if you're prepared for it or used to that kind of trip. Awesome place for us to give our boys a little taste of what the BWCA is like and still have the comfort of our car and coolers nearby.

We found this gem of a campground in the middle of a pivot for our family vacation this year. The campsites are nice…ones with an uphill slope are best due to the rain. Some have a downhill slope which makes rainy days miserable. I would rate this one higher stars if the people caring for it, Golden Eagle Resort would take better care of the bathrooms. On day 1 the bathroom needed maintenance but wasn’t done for days and that was only after flagging down a truck. Clean the bathrooms daily and the stars would grow.

Writing this review almost two years after my week staying at Flour Lake Campground to say I had the best camping experience of my life here. I'm not an extremely experienced camper nor have I been to dozens of campgrounds but this was truly a magical place. So secluded, so serene, and absurdly gorgeous. It was so easy to be completely absorbed in nature here I only managed to get two or three photos in total! The one thing I wish I knew prior to making the drive up from downtown Grand Marais was how quickly I'd lose my cell service. Not a really big issue but if you don't have alternative map options (downloaded maps or paper ones) it'd be pretty easy to miss the right turns.
