We stayed in the Beaver Bungalow cabin for a weekend while hiking the SHT and it was delightful!! The campsite was clean and the folks there were all super friendly and attentive. The shower/bath house was the cleanest I’ve ever seen at a campground. Room service for firewood and ice too!! The cabin itself was adorable and clean and a fun alternative to tent camping. We would absolutely stay here again.

The Bear Hug Cabin was a delightful surprise! Pretty non-descript outside, but adorable inside. We loved our stay. Best to call about pricing, though. It changed on the website three times in the couple days I was looking.

Knife Island Campground is wonderful. We chose a remote site with electric and water, even though we have a camper that can use full hook ups. We were delighted by the privacy and the rustic feeling of being in the woods. Our camper looked out onto green trees, green vegetation and was so calming. It was wonderful! Our hosts were friendly and helpful and informative! We would recommend this campground if you want a great experience up north! We also loved how close it was to Duluth!

We had a fantastic family weekend at Knife Island campground. The staff was friendly and helpful, shower facilities were clean, and our two campsites were perfect: spacious but close enough together to easily spend time as a group. We didn’t hear anyone else all weekend, so it felt like we were the only ones there!
