Trapper's Lake Campground

Went here in April of 2024, great camp site. Right on a lake with gorgeous views. Very peaceful. Not very windy when I was there, plenty of trees to hang a hammock and plenty of space to pitch a tent without feeling too close to other people at the site. Only knocking a star off because the trip planner PDF said to ask at the Visitor Center about water quality at Trapper's Lake and they were closed until the following month😑and I had to walk about a mile to Lake Superior to get water that I would trust wasn't contaminated. Other than that, though, 10/10 would love to go back again in the future.

Very spacious and level campsites. Each site is on the lake. Site 4 is the best choice site based on view and privacy. Bear box was rodent proof and very secure. Vault toilet off the at. The note that this well off the North Country trail and Lake Superior as opposed to other campgrounds. Also I would suggest to get your water from Lake Superior, Trapper’s Lake is beautiful but the water has a lot of sediment and murky.

Off the beaten path for Pictured Rocks. It’s a must to short hike to Lake Superior, follow trail marker no online maps are accurate. If you are hiking to Beaver Lake/ Beaver Creek take rabbit trails next to Lake Superior to save time and distance. Beach hike is possible too till you hit the creek. Don’t hike dunes at Beaver Creek, use the stairs on the right by creek.

This is a great place for those who wish to veiw the virtually untouched portion of pictured rocks national park and lakeshore. The only complaint I would have is the single community firepit. It is very difficult to use a fire for purposes of cooking if there are other groups present who just want a big fire. I went there to be away from people, not to meet them. Otherwise it is a must for those willing to put in the effort to get there.

Very beautiful spot, this lake is clear & pretty, therebis a huge burm on the other side of the lake so it creates a scene straight out of a calendar, the sites where very nice, a little windy but not to bad. No cell service.
