Minnesota’s North Shore — the stretch of Lake Superior running from Duluth up toward the Canadian border — is one of the most scenic drives in America, and a rising glamping corridor near Split Rock, Tettegouche, and Gooseberry Falls. Here are the three spots worth building a trip around.
1. North Shore Camping Co. — Beaver Bay
The comfort details here are exactly on-brand: wood-stove-heated canvas tents, genuinely great beds and linens, fire starters and lanterns provided, a sauna on-site, and world-class state-park hiking minutes away.
Best for: couples, first-timers, hikers | One thing to know: sites involve an uphill walk to the bathrooms — request a more secluded site when booking.
2. Wildhaven — Two Harbors
A small, beautifully run yurt stay that keeps winning over camping skeptics. Sauna, kayaks, and serene surroundings near Split Rock make it a superb solo or first-time glamping pick — genuinely one of the best-reviewed stays in the whole directory.
Best for: solo travelers, couples, first-time glampers | See full listing →
3. Lamb’s Resort & Campground — Schroeder
A beloved, decades-established Lake Superior campground with cozy heated cabins and superb lake breezes for sleeping. Returning guests rebook so far ahead that lakeside spots are hard to land — plan months out.
Best for: families, couples, return regulars | See full listing →
