Black Beach Campground

This is a new campground with very large, level sites that can accompany any size rig. They have a nice grass area between sites and the campground sits an easy 1/2 mile from Silver Bay. The hook-ups are nicely situated at each site. Black Beach is between approximately 1/2 mile from the campground depending on your site. They have new shower bays and a great playground for the kids. The only reason I didn't give this campground 5 stars is they nickel and dime you for picking your site, add'l vehicles, pets, etc.

We stayed at the newly opened (June 2020) Black Beach Campground during a long July 4 weekend. The campground is brand new (in fact the sod was still regularly being watered each day). Owned by the City of Silver Bay, Minnesota, the sites here are spacious and feature full hookups. Our site - #32 - was located in the "lower" campground area, which is a few hundred yards from Highway 61. The first 15 sites or so are located right by busy Highway 61, but more than 20 campsites are removed from the highway. Site 32 is on the very end of a row and includes a nice stand of birch trees on one side offering a little privacy. It's close to the restroom, but not too close. The hard-packed gravel pads are fairly even, requiring very little leveling. Big bonus: Black Beach on Lake Superior is just a five minute walk from the campground. This is an amazing beach that offers three different and unique areas for spending a hot summer day. Be sure to check out each area of the beach!
