Shoot for campsite #444 (island campsite), just beyond 3-Mile island. Absolutely beautiful site that the fire didn't hit. BUT, if rain is in the forecast, I wouldn't set up tents in the lower grassy areas. |

For some reason the drive up the Gunflint always takes longer than I anticipate. Just missed getting our target campsite one year because of that. |

Trails End Campground reservations EDIT: I just realized that you want to camp inside the BWCA. Seagull is a very popular destination and I would want to be on the water long before 9 a.m. that weekend. |

We’re tentatively planning a Seagull Lake basecamp trip over Memorial Day weekend. I understand it could be quite busy and worry about campsites being full (we’ll have some first timers and would rather not have to go into Alpine, etc). We’re planning on staying in Grand Marais that Thursday evening—which means we could put in on Seagull early Friday morning (9AMish, hopefully). Is this worry about campsites well-founded? Would appreciate any input, advice, or stories from similar trips. Thanks everyone!! |
