Sullivan Lake Campground

Rustic campground suitable for tents or small truck or pull behind campers. Several sights with a beautiful lake view. We were treated with a pair of swans swimming the lake in front of our campsite. Pit toilets were clean and maintained. Rustic with some distance between sites. This became "home base" for a few days while we explored the area. I will come here again!

Several very nice lakeside sites perched slightly up a slope from the lake are among the selection of roughly a dozen sites at this campground. The lake level looked much lower than normal when we visited in July 2024. The lake was still usable if you walk further out on the beach, but the boat landing was not functional due to the seemingly low water level. We did not get T-Mobile or Verizon service anywhere we walked around in this campground. You may have better luck with other providers, otherwise plan for no cell service during your stay. Three other sites were occupied when we arrived on a Monday evening. A hand pump provided good tasting drinking water.

First come first serve, rustic, tent camping type location. We have a slide in truck camper so it also worked great for us. Had to pay via mail since we had no cell service. No electricity, water hookups, etc - but we didn’t need any of that. It was absolutely stunning, even with the lake low. Campsite #3 was a very cool setup. The bugs were definitely horrible, but they did eventually die down (& came back with a vengeance the next morning) - but it was tolerable with bug spray & and fire. We got caught in a couple rain storms - which only made the night even better in my opinion (I felt bad for the one other person there that was tent camping). There were plenty of turtles laying eggs and our dogs immediately found the mud (with the lake so low, do not recommended swimming).

This is a little out-of-the-way. About 45 minutes from Gooseberry Falls about an hour from grand Marais. But totally worth it. It’s a gorgeous little lake, and there nobody else there it was a Tuesday but it’s definitely less crowded. Only tent camping here, but definitely do it if your tent camping it’s worth it to be in the middle of nowhere.!!

I've camped there numerous times and it's one of my favorite places! If you're looking for creature comforts, this is not the place for you as it only offers beauty, wildlife and peace along with pit toilets and a pump for water. On the flipside, if you enjoy the sound of wolves and nature, this is your place AND NO the wolves did not come into my campsite.
