The campgrounds that we have listed as you scroll down are those that we recommend in our immediate area and those in which we provide rental camping equipment in addition to kayaks and canoes. They are all on water (Lake Superior) and (Lake Michigamme) except for the Wide Waters campground which is on the Indian River in the Hiawatha National Forest. All of them take reservations and they are recommended especially during the July 10th through August 10th period. For the peak season we recommend obtaining reservations as early as January 1st annually.
