North Shore Camping Co.

Traditionally I have only camped in the very basic conditions and slept on the ground in a tent when I camped but wanted to experience a step up. As I age, the ground is a little harder to get up from so what North Shore Camping offered was perfect. |The tents were very well supplied and very comfortable with a king-sized bed, table and chairs, heating as needed and great hospitality. There is very limited electricity via generator, and no running water, but the bathrooms are just down the trail including showers. If you want the basic camping with some amenities including a sauna and e-bikes, this is your spot. And they are very dog friendly. I would be happy to return in a heartbeat.

Friendly staff, and a nice location near a lot of parks to go visit during the day. Quiet, and tents are nicely spaced to have some privacy from other campers. Campsite was nice and spacious, inside and out. Very comfortable bed and plenty of blankets for the cooler nights. Our Jackery lost most of its charge after the first night with the heater running so we had to swap it out. Seems like that's something that staff could do as a default, as I assume most people had to swap theirs out that day. Quality of life improvements that I think could be made, besides this, would be more water fill-up locations than the base camp, quality control on the extra campware (my French press came without all its pieces, no fuel for stove at campsite), and more frequent bathroom cleaning. All this being s

Overall we did enjoy our stay at North Shore Camping Co! They were very accommodating when our heater did not work and they offered us a discounted rate plus store credit to use on anything in their camp store! Luckily it was still warm enough at night that the heater wasn’t fully needed as we had plenty of blankets supplied as well. The only downside was our site itself. We were given site #1 which had zero privacy. We took a walk around the other sites and they all had a private walkway and plenty of trees or other plants obstructing the view of their fire pit/outdoor area and front door, but our site was the first on the path and everyone who walked by could see our entire site and see us when we were outside at anytime. The front door couldn’t be seen from the side where the fire pit w

Fun concept but severely understaffed and a lot of issues. Two days before my stay I had a question about my reservation... it took me six hours, four phone calls, a text, and finally a call to Cove Point before I received a response from someone at NSCC. There isn't a staff member stationed at the desk (it seems that staff combine desk duties with other jobs around the site), and we had to wait at least 20 minutes each time we needed to speak to someone. This wouldn't be a big deal if phone calls/texts were answered in a timely manner and if tents were supplied as advertised, but, in my experience anyway, they're not. Upon arrival at our tent we noticed that our smoke detector was missing (especially important since there's a propane stove in the tent!). At 4:30 pm I called (and left a

Great location right across from Lake Superior and close to several awesome state parks. The staff was incredibly friendly and the sites were extremely clean and had everything we needed, which made the stay easy and convenient. It was also dog friendly, with lots of other cool amenities on site that we didn’t get a chance to check out! The only reason I’m giving 4 stars is that it was less quiet than we expected. We did visit over Labor Day which meant it was busier and there were larger groups nearby, and the tent sites were closer together than we realized. Our spot was also closer to the base lodge, so it picked up all the highway noise at night. So just something to consider when booking/picking which site you want! In addition, our fire pit area was on an uneven slope with a lot of l
