Frequently Asked Questions for Your Next Camping Getaway

The wind in the trees is your AC! Each tent has a fireplace-style heater that keeps the tent about 20 degrees or more than the ambient temperature outside.

Sites are a 1 to 5-minute walk from the parking lot and base lodge that houses our indoor restrooms and showers. The hillside sites are the furthest away, and there are portable bathrooms within 400 feet of all hillside sites. There are no paved paths at North Shore Camping Co. Trails can be rocky in areas, and you will encounter tree roots. In the spring and during rain, it can be muddy.

There are bears on the North Shore, and they are in our forest. We do provide ample sized bear-resistant food lockers and bear-resistant trash cans for all of our sites. We require all food and beverages to be inside the locker at night, and all trash must be in the trash can, as well. We have occasional visits from curious bears, but no permanent residents at the glampground.

  • A propane canister or two for the camp stove (April-mid November)
  • Cooler
  • Groceries and cooking oils. We supply salt, pepper, paper towels, and aluminum foil.
  • Bug spray in the spring and summer
  • Swim attire for sauna CPL pool area
  • Check the weather forecast for Beaver Bay! Pack appropriately.

Please call ahead to determine if arriving past 8:30 p.m. is possible. Late check in’s are generally not available for hillside sites due to the disruption the ATV vehicle causes for our other guests.

We do treat for mosquitos, gnats, and ticks in the spring and summer, and do our best to take preventative measures to further the cause.  It is safe for pets, and we avoid occupied sites. We do reccomend that you bring bug spray, and if you plan to do some deep hiking in the forest, a bug net head cover is nice to have.

Sheets, pillows, pillowcases, a comforter, a quilt, and extra blankets. We’ve got you!

Wi-Fi is available in our base lodge, and also at Cove Point Lodge across the road on Lake Superior.

All food, snacks, beverages, and coolers should be stored in our bear-resistant food locker each evening.
