Devil Track Lake Campground

This is a great place to camp near Grand Marais, MN. Easy access by hard-surface roads from Grand Marais. There are a few sites that would accommodate my rig that is nearly 45’ in length when the T3 is hooked up to my pickup. The way the entrance to the site is configured made it impossible for me to back in so I pulled in straight. Backing out was no problem. I’d love to be here in the fall when the mosquitos and gnats are not my constant companions. The campsites are very isolated from one another so it was dead quiet at my site. Although I’m sure there were campfires in the evenings, I never had issues with smelling smoke in my camper. While Verizon cell service was very spotty, the signal from the Grand Marais public radio station on the FM band was very strong. The pit toilets are very clean and well-maintained. The entire campground was very clean. My site had absolutely no trash or evidence of habitation other than ashes and firewood. My rate reflects my senior pass

Boat launch at end of campground loop ONLY IF YOU HAVE 4X4 or a lot of weight in back. If not that's ok because there's a small public launch about 9 blocks from campground entrance. Remote area with only vaulted toilets. Clean with lots of space between sites. Good fishing lake even from your campsite if you got 1 on the water. I have caught walleye and bass from site and boat. There's a restaurant/bar accessible from boat if camped at campground. The restaurant is located on other side of lake about 4-5 miles away. It's a dog friendly restaurant and has dock to pull boat up. Not to many cabins on lake and pretty secluded. Only downfall is no hookups at any sites and bugs can be horrible!!

We arrived mid day on and found many open sites. Almost every site was on the water. The sites are very nice size many have driveways over 100 yards long with a lot of trees for cover between each site. There were newer pit toilets, water and garbage cans. It was a nice lake to kayak on. There were also a lot of hiking trails in the area which we hiked on both sides of the lake. The trails were well marked and remote, so we could let the dogs run off leash.

Made a quick visit to check out this C/G up the mountain from the quaint seaside town of Grand Marais, MN 15 miles away. C/G is t the end of the paved Devil Track Lake Road just 12 miles up the Gunflint Trail.

Most sites are large and deep separated from each other by dense tree growth. There are about five sites right on DT Lake. A few are close to the access road, but most have deep approaches which affords privacy.

There is a boat launch, pit toilets, trash bins and those horrible NF water spigots. The water is quite hard and with heavy mineral content so come prepaired.
