My husband and I had never gone to Grand Marais before and luckily we were able to find this awesome site. We brought our camper and it was the perfect sized space for what we needed. We spent a lot of time exploring different parks and the town but it was a great spot for us to unwind and relax in the privacy of the woods. We are both very pleased with our experience and would definitely use this spot again if we find ourselves headed north. Thank you so much!
I mostly love places that are dog friendly. At night , all you could hear was the wind blowing through the trees which was really nice. The spot was quick easy access if you decided to go into town after a long day of hiking for a bit or a few last minute check out. If available I will totally go again.
Nice secluded spot very close to Grand Marais. It’s basically a driveway in the woods. Very quiet though and not even very many cars driving by on the road coming in. As other reviews have stated, there is a pile of construction materials covered by a big tarp right in the middle of the site but if you are just looking for a quiet and private site this is a good one. We were on other adventures so didn’t really explore any of the acreage but there is a nice little fire pit and there was even firewood there to use. Host was very responsive.
Nice piece of land, but the eyesores as the other reviews say include the tarp with materials on entrance and the two shacks. I understand that it is the rule to leave the area cleaner than you found it, however, when we arrived there were dog poop bags, empty capri sun pouches and trash. We’ll gladly pick up trash, but also didn’t feel great paying for a dirty spot where we also had to be janitors. The area isn’t as secluded as we had anticipated, big road and house next to property.
