Sherwood Forest Campground

A city c/g located next to ATV/snowmobile trails and on the edge of a beautiful lake which was a reclaimed open-pit iron ore mine. The c/g is terraced with hillside sites, most with water views and some are lakeside overlooking a beach and boat launch. Trees provide shade, but not so many to obstruct the view. The c/g can be very busy on weekends.

Access roads are asphalt and sites grass/gravel. Water and elect. at sites with an easy access dump station. I did not look at restrooms and showers, but judging from the upkeep of the grounds and sites they should be fine. C/g management seemed well organized and on-top of the needs of the campers.

Located a short two blocks from downtown of Gilbert. The town is centrally located in MN's Iron Range near Virginia and Eveleth. Hibbing and Tower are easy 30 minute drives while Ely takes an additional 30 minutes. The whole area is surrounded with Parks and museums reflecting on the area's industrial past and present.
