Planning Tips

    About Cart-In Campground

    Why rush through Split Rock when you can wake up to Lake Superior's sunrise? Set up camp at the Cart-In Campground and discover a different side of the park after the day-trippers leave—think crackling campfires under star-studded skies, guided moonlit strolls along the shore, and naturalist programs that bring the North Woods to life.
