Cloquet River Campground

Very nice campground. Will definitely stay again and bring the kids. The owner was very nice and flexible. He came to us for payment. The spaces are spread out so you have room between you and your neighbors. The bathrooms were nice and clean. Well organized and properly done campground. One review I read complained about highway noise. I could definitely hear it but I didn't find it intrusive; honestly it was more like distant white noise that helped me sleep. Wood prices seemed kind of high but we grabbed wood and asked what the cost was and he told us way lower than we thought he'd charge. Overall good campground ran by a kind and honest man.

We stayed here for 1 full week in June. The campground is well kept and the travel trailer sites are nice. Some sites are really amazing others are standard but they are all nestled in trees and a minimun of 15 feet from each other. You might need levelers but this is standard expectations for natural campgrounds. This isn't a fancy campground it's a natural campground. If you want pools and cramped campsites go to KOA, if you want privacy, pretty pines and rivers come here. You have your basics here, shower bathrooms, dump site, potable water and electric. We like the location of this campground is 20 minutes to Duluth, 30 to the North Shore, 1 to 1.5 hours to Sudan Mine, Lake Vermillion and Ely. There is a gas station right outside the campground with basic needs, bait, ice etc. There is some light traffic noise from the highway that is down the road but with only 20 sites the camprgound itself is very quiet. We prefer to be closer to highways because that means you are closer to activities but you could also spend a day or two just relaxing fishing off the pier or tubbing with family. They also have tent sites and a group camp site. Again some sites are standard and this is not a huge campground. Not all tent sites have picnic tables but the owner does provide tables and folding chairs if needed. On a side note the owner is very accommodating and nice. We loved how he was always available to help. He was very patient with our rambunctious kids. These days its a gem to find such great customer service!

Joe is the best guy! Great shower and bathroom facilities. Get your wood from Joe for the firepit. Do not forget an ample supply of mosquito repellents! Great river for kayak, canoeing, good fishing.
