The only place I've stayed out the Gunflint was Rockwood Outfitters bunkhouse. Bunkhouses are basic, but each room there had a bathroom with shower.

Hungry Jack Lodge and Hungry Jack Outfitters are not affiliated in anyway other than being on the same lake. the Lodge has cabin accommodations and some campsites. The Outfitters has 2 cabins and bunkhouses, separate showerhouse (very clean!).

Seagull Outfitters has a great basic bunkhouse and the best showers on the GF Trail!

Thanks, folks. And, sorry Ray, if this sidetracked your original question.

I've only stayed at Tuscarora and Rockwood. Tuscarora's bunkhouses are nicer, but they don't have a private bathroom, which was really convenient. I like to get a really early start, and Tuscarora's breakfast is too late for me. I'd stay at either, depending on my entry point.

end of trail....Seagull, Voyageur....then Tuscarora, Gunflint. Mid Trail.....Rockwood, Hungry Jack. Eastern....Clearwater. I would rate them all as decent or better depending on your comfort level. I'm always happy with them.

Our teams have used Seagull Outfitters for 4 years. Bunkhouse works well in that it has a common area and picnic tables to eat breakfast at. Very nice showers.

Hi,
Does anyone know of a good place to stay overnight before put-in along the Gunflint? We looked at one of the bunkhouses on a trip a few years back and opted to sleep in a tent instead. Are there any bunkhouses that are decent? Trying to avoid the long(er) drive from Grand Marais and a cabin seems like overkill.
Thanks
Ray

what is your entry point? most outfitters have some sort of lodging, price varies, too.

Have used Tuscarora for a long time, they have several large bunk houses that would accommodate your group.

I've stayed in bunkhouses at Tuscarora and Rockwood off the Gunflint. Tuscarora is my preference-clean, option for a good breakfast in the AM.
