Views and Seclusion - Pristine Tent Camping

Split Rock Lighthouse State Park

Camping in Split Rock Lighthouse State Park is like camping in paradise - this is, if camping in a pristine campsite along Lake Superior sounds like Heaven to you. No casino here! Or shuffleboard for that matter. But, what you will get is fantastic fishing for lake trout, salmon and brown trout, a rocky beach, hiking trails and a historic lighthouse. A great place to get away from it all. This park is situated on the North Shore of Lake Superior, and offers 20 cart-in camping sites within 2,000 feet of the parking lot. Wheeled carts are available to haul your supplies to your secluded campsite. Camping is available year round.

During winter the park provides 8 miles of groomed (intermediate level) cross-country ski trails and 3.5 miles of snowshoe trail and 1 mile of winter hiking trail. Snowshoe rentals are available. The lighthouse is open for tours mid-May to mid-October.
