Black Beach Campground

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!
