Lakehead Boat Basin

The shop you check in to is out of date but location is cool! Has electric hook up and is surrounded by water. Close to downtown and close to large park for kids. Absolutely beautiful view for sunset and lights. Has bathrooms in a nice camper at entrance and has very clean hotel with bathrooms, showers, & laundry. Awesome sleeping to the sounds of boats swaying!

This is a marina that is co-located with a brand new Fairfield by Marriott hotel.

In the parking area between marinas, they have Marked out very large parking spaces big enough for 35’+ motor homes, and each site has at least water and electric, with a few designated sites over in another area with sewer hookups, as well.

WARNING: Lake Superior has very unpredictable weather patterns, and this park is surrounded by water with little protection. At 3am One night an unexpected weather system moves through with 40+ Mph steady Winds and 50+ mph gusts. Be sure your rig is anchored/chalked well, and DO NOT leave your awning out.

The shared bathroom in the Fairfield Hotel for campers was amazing...one of the nicest and cleanest bathrooms and showers I’ve ever had. They also have a snack/supply shop inside the Fairfield.

The marina supposedly provides WiFi, but I measured speeds of 1Mbps or less, which makes it largely useless.

Also within walking distance of the historic bridge and town square with museums and lots of restaurants. Beautiful views of hillside Duluth across the bay.

$15 late checkout fee

Overall a very nice place to stay, if you’re ready for the weather.

Beautiful views from this spot! Only the last half of the spots have this view though. We had electric & water but there is a dump on site. Hosts in the office are incredibly helpful and we had packages delivered here with no problem!
Laundry onsite, restrooms and showers are very nice. Easy walk to town when the wind is not gusting!! Horns from ships are loud but not constant

There are 12 sites with FHU. The other 18 are elec (15, 30 & 50) and water. Water pressure is very high bring a regulator. The 18 sites are behind a Fairfield Inn & Suites. The hotel has bathrooms (1shower in each) and a laundry that RVers can use. No tents. Minimal grass but our dog managed. Beautiful to be on the water and so convenient. You do hear boat horns as they approach the aerial bridge. And there is a train somewhere. Sites are very close but room enough to put the slides out. And they have picnic tables. Dump station right at the entry/ exit. It’s a bit tight driving through canal park to get to the harbor but we managed ok. Traffic backs up when the bridge is up to let. Oats by. Those two reasons are why access is three stars. We couldn’t get on the internet and we were in the first site behind the hotel.

I love marinas so this was a perfect spot for me!

The sites are very close together - like awnings are almost touching tight - but we didn't care. Views out the front window were so pretty of all the boats, the lift bridge, and the hillsides of Duluth.

Walk to the historic district shops and eateries, the little lighthouse, watch the big ships and tall sailboats under the lift bridge.

Water and electric where we were, there are FHUs closer to the entrance. Check in at the marina office, the guys are super nice.

Do NOT listen to your GPS. Stay on Lake Avenue, don't go to Casino. Turn right on 10th, NOT 9th street, and you'll pull right into the marina. Still, you're going to drive through the narrow historic district with cars parked on both sides - and then the bridge. Easy, just take your time.

No WiFi and very limited area for doggies to do there business.

If you plan on checking out Duluth, this is the place to stay! You are walking distance to a lot of the great things to see and do in the downtown waterfront area. You get to cross the aerial lift bridge just to get to the park!

This is definitely not your average RV park, so please don't expect the amenities of a normal RV park. As I see it, you are paying for hook ups and location, and not much else.

In summary, it's a little spendy, but if you want to check out Duluth and be right in the midst of it, this is the best place to stay. We loved our stay here. Just a warning, you will here a lot of horns staying here (both boat and train) at all hours of the day, so be prepared for that.

Hidden away requiring drive through major tourist area and activities. Must cross lift-bridge, into Park Point. Marina/CG is one block South of main drive. Park on asphalt, water and elec, dump station. Share parking with boat people's cars, everyone is friendly. CG is walkable from harbor entrance and breakwater. Ships from around the world sail past your door. Nearby shops, restaurants and harbor museum. You will overlook a small boat marina.
