Tent camping

Thinking it was a Tuesday, and they’re wouldn’t be a lot of people I got in around 5pm, and every place I went to was booked. When I arrived all the campsites were booked, but I was able to stay at the overflow lot. It worked out great!

Well kept safe campground.

First come first serve to get a site. About 40% of the sites are seasonal. Nicely maintained, electric hook ups, large sites 50% shade. Artesian well has nationally recognized quality of water on campground.

Next to the Lake Superior

They have an overflow camp area if campsites are full. I went late and was still able to camp at the overflow area. It’s right next to lake superiors and is a nice place to swim, kayak, and paddle board. It has a playground. Morning can be sunny without shades.

Not the best for tent campers

for short stay RV campers or seasonal campers, this might be a campground of interest due to its proximity to the Bay as well as into the town of Washburn. However, I am reviewing this from the perspective of a tent camper, and this campground proides bathrooms and menities etc, but this is not a reall desireable location for tent camping. Few trees, small campsites, close together, no privacy. The waterfront area needs a bit of work and maintanence too, in rough shape due to shoreline flooding. It would be more than adequate to stay here if nothing lse in the area is avaialble, or would be a decent place to stay overnight before launching out into the Apostle Islands, but not the best place as a destination camping area for tent campers.

Nice open campground

This campground is located on the south side of Washburn. It is an open meadow campground with few trees. It does have a playground and lake access but no boat ramp. This is the best in the area for large rigs.

On the lake and close to town

I have stayed here twice in the past 10 years when visiting my niece an truly love the place. I have a 30 foot 5th wheel and have stayed 4-5 nights each time. Self registration is nice and love being on the lake and walking distance to town.

City Campground on Lake Superior

Another great little “city” campground right on Lake Superior. This is a first come first serve campground- no reservations. However, campers have the option of staying the entire season if they want to pay up front for it (May to October). The bath house has pay showers and is cleaned daily. The sites are arranged in rows that work their way down towards the lake. There are very few trees and no privacy even though sites are large and well spaced. There is a nice play area and beach, and it is obvious from the huge carved trout which fish reigns here. Most of the campers were using trailers and RVs and taking advantage of the cable tv service that comes with electric sites, and all sites have access to the free wifi. There were few tent only campers, probably because there is no privacy at this campground and supposedly there are nicely treed sites at the nearby Memorial Campground (I did not camp there, so I am only going on what my host said).

Lake Superior Fun

Campground with nice facilities. Great place to launch your adventures out on the big lake. Nice beach and great shore fishing. Great place to launch you North Woods and Apostle Island adventure. Another bonus is the campground is a short walk to a great little downtown loaded with great shops and places to eat.
