Activities
Big Adventures, Chill Moments, Or A Bit of Both?
- Hit the Superior Hiking Trail straight from your campsite — a rugged path with woodsy terrain and great views.
- Ride or roll on the paved Gitchee Gami Bike Trail — it hugs the lakeshore all the way to Split Rock Lighthouse and Gooseberry Falls.
- Mountain bikers, check out the Split Rock Wilds Trail over the hill — twists, turns, and singletrack for every level.
Venture a short drive, ride, or pedal to legendary parks and forest spots:
- Split Rock Lighthouse State Park — photogenic views, history, and lakeside trails.
- Gooseberry Falls State Park — waterfalls, easy hikes, and scenic picnic spots.
- Tettegouche State Park — waterfalls, cliffs, and Lake Superior beaches.
- Finland State Forest & George Crosby Manitou Park — for deeper forest exploration and wide-open wilderness.
Just across the road, North Shore Camping Co. guests enjoy access to:
- Pool, hot tub, and indoor sauna — perfect for a warm-up after a day of trails.
- The lakefront beach and cove — skip stones, hunt for agates, or just soak up the view.
- Fire up your own cook station with the gear you chose — flip pancakes, sear burgers, or make campfire favorites. Order from our Campfire Cookery menu!
- Grab breakfast, lunch, or dinner at The Crossings — just a quick stroll down the hill.
- Try a Pepperoni in the Pines Pizza Party — delivered right to your site with lemonade and campfire vibes.
- For a sit-down meal, the Cove Point Lodge Dining Room offers lakeside food, drinks, and views (reservations recommended)
- Walk into nearby Beaver Bay for ice cream, coffee, and local shops!
- Bring bikes — pavement, singletrack, and scenic paths await.
- Pack a picnic and explore lake overlooks or quiet forest nooks.
- Family games, yard jams, fireside stories — camp life brings its own kind of good.
More Fun Than Ever at North Shore Camping Co. This Year!
Get here – settle in – and get ready to play!
The Base Lodge Bar is officially in the mix this year—open daily from 2–9pm (until 10pm on Saturdays). Grab a beer or cocktail, settle in by the campfire, or take it out to the lakeview deck. Snacks are always within reach, so go ahead—build your own camp-style charcuterie and make a night of it.
We’re leaning all the way into evenings this season.
Think outdoor movie nights with campfire popcorn, savory s’mores, and hands-on campfire cookery nights that turn dinner into the activity.
Mornings get their moment, too.
Join Abram for a Saturday Naturalist Walk at 10:30am—a laid-back way to explore, learn a little, and actually notice where you are.
And when you’re ready to roam on your own:
