Gunflint Pines Resort & Campgrounds, Grand Marais, Minnesota

Whether you want a family or fishing vacation in a lakefront cabin, tent, camper or RV, the Gunflint Pines invites you to experience four seasons of outdoor activity. Spring for exploring, wildlife sightings, birding, hiking, and early season Walleye and Lake Trout fishing. Summer activities range from swimming, canoeing, Mountain biking, canoeing, kayaking, bass fishing, boating, hiking & berry picking.

Fall finds the woods alluring with the leaves changing color, whether by hiking or canoeing, grouse hunting or a little late season Lake Trout fishing. For peace and quiet, you can't beat Winter with our cross-country skiing, dog sledding, ice-fishing, snowmobiling and snow shoeing.
Awaken early to the morning mist clearing off the lake, the call of a distant loon, the morning songs of the neighborhood birds, a colorful sunrise or the shimmering of freshly fallen snow. By day experience the Superior National Forest and surrounding the BWCA, whether it be by canoe, kayak, early morning hike, snowshoe or cross country ski. In the evenings adventure is at your doorstep. Step outside and listen for wildlife, view the Milky Way, or experience a spectacular sunset or display of Northern Lights. Listen for the howl of the Timber Wolf or the cry of the Loon on a moonlit lake. At night the wilderness comes to life.

Often families choose our resort for their family reunion due to the variety of accommodations we offer. From Cabins to Camping Cabins, RV or tent campsites we have something to offer most any family's needs. Our lakefront A-frame cabins can comfortably house up to 12 people. The cottages are great for couples or a smaller family sleeping up to 6 people. The camping cabins offer a more rustic cabin, sleeping up to 5 people. We pride ourselves on the fact that we operate a small, very personal resort. We pay special attention to young children as we know what it can be like to vacation if the children aren't happy. We have a treat jar and board games in the lodge, a playground area, and sand box to help keep them busy.

We purposely do not offer TV's and you might as well turn the cell phone off as you head up the trail as there's no coverage here. You'll be amazed at how much you can do in a day without TV. You may choose to bring a TV but don't forget the VCR or DVD player as we don't get TV reception here.
