Grand Marais RV Park and Campground
is only open May 1 to mid-October. Tent and Electric only sites were
available year round. There was free Wi-Fi at the office, be sure to
get a code. The two RV Gypsies were parked just across from the campground
office, so the Wi-Fi came in at their site, but it was very slow and
annoying. The roads in the campground were mostly paved, but some were
dirt roads. The campground had great water pressure. Campers can use
the Municipal pool and spa directly across the street at a cost of $4
a day with campground receipt (that is a $1 savings - yippee) The Municipal
Pool closed sharply at 9 p.m. - free lockers and key were available
at this time. No thanks, said Karen.
Check out time was 1 p.m. on this date. That is later than lots of
campgrounds and they ask that you check out at the office itself before
leaving. This is a big park and quite beautiful. Be sure to walk around
to the back of the park where you can walk on the rocks and see the
lighthouse. Those photos are on this page. The campground is within
walking distance to the city of Grand Marais, and a very good restaurant,
Harbor House Grille. There is a large picnic pavilion at the back of
the park. Also ask at office about pool and golf specials. |
The below sign is a picture of the sign seen on the boat in the photo below. The boat was located in the back of the park. It will probably be moved after it is restored. |

The photos below were all taken at the back of the park - this is a must-see area. |

Below: Built in 1922 of steel,
this structure replaced a wooden structure built of surplus and salvaged
materials installed in 1886. The lighthouse is located on the East Pier
of the harbor and the grounds are accessible to visitors. Because of
the narrow opening, a smaller secondary light was installed on the West
Pier in 1902. |

The picture shown below taken
with a self-timer camera. The sun was bright and Karen Duquette could
not tell the photo was blurry by looking through the digital screen.
Oh well. |

Lee and Karen Duquette were
not sure what the house shown below was used for, but they thought it
had something to do with dogs. |
