Glamping Wall-Tent (#1)
Mud & Bees & Showers Oh My
I arrived to camp late (unforeseen circumstances on my end) and was excited up until I saw how much mud and water I was going to have to hike through. Nevertheless I made it to my tent and as soon as I entered I was the target of two angry yellow jackets. I realize its nature but wasn’t expecting two nests inside the tent with live bees hiding in them. Anytime I turned a light on it made me a shining beacon for them to attack. I left before 0800 the next morning and again was unimpressed with the amount of mud and water I had to trek through. Fortunately I was able to use the shower before leaving due to the amount of mud that was caked on my lower half. Ultimately I have mixed feelings but do believe it’s nice place for families and groups to spend time outside together.
Hazel (walk-in site)
Great organization and communication about the site. We had the Hazel camp site. Unfortunately, it was very wet and soggy all over. I would defiantly recommend the Amnicon camp to anybody, but I would avoid the Hazel campsite next time

Glamping Wall-Tent (#2)
Rented a tent in azidokan village
Tent was big and spacious.
Didn’t like the bottom bunk beds
But it’s a very good spot for 4 people
Team had carts to wheel our stuff to the tent.
One hiccup was the rains and muddy swampy walk to the tent! Was difficult to walk through slushy pathway

Balsam (Hike-In Site)
The Balsam campsite was beautiful, peaceful, secluded, and just a short walk to Lake Superior. The staff at the Camp Amnicon were all very friendly and helpful and provided a cart for us to haul our stuff out to the campsite. I would definitely recommend this place, especially as a great alternative to crowded, sometimes noisy campgrounds. :)

Campsite was marshy
This was a tough review to write. On a positive note the campground was very nice with a shared facility for getting water, firewood, and friendly staff. Trails were well marked with lots of information and great privacy.
The problem was that the campsite itself was extremely marshy. There was an informational placard about how the site had a lot of clay that retained water and if you look in the photos you'll see that the tent pads are actually raised up to keep them dry. This had the knock on effect of there being a ton of ticks. This might be a good site during drier parts of the season but it was really unpleasant in May. Compared to the rest of the campground the site was buggy and wet.
If we were going to stay here again we'd stay at the campsite nearer the water or one of the cabins.

Balsam (Hike-In Site)
AMAZING Spot
Amnicon Adventures and retreats was a amazing place. I camped at Balsam campsite it I really loved it. The site is spacious, a short walk down to the beach, which was the highlight for us. My dog enjoyed it so much, and it was the perfect place for a weekend getaway. The place also had a nice hike! Even tho was very muddy and raining one of days the place and the ticks were everywhere as well, but we were expecting that already, it was still an incredible weekend! The sunset view from the beach is stunning! My dog and I loved it and would definitely be coming back! Ah, and when we went on a morning walk along the beach, there were some fresh beach paw print and I thought pretty cool and just add more stars to the adventure!
