Enjoy the peace of the woods just 5 minutes from downtown Grand Marais! The Camper Cabin at Basecamp du Nord offers a rustic basecamp for your North Shore adventure. Like most traditional camper cabins, we provide a warm, dry place to sleep and relax, share a board game or a meal. There is no running water or kitchen, but a grill and fire pit are provided for guests. Guests must bring their own linens.

The Camper Cabin at Basecamp du Nord is situated in the woods of the Pincushion Trail system, offering over 25 kilometers of cross country skiing opportunities in the winter and hiking opportunities in the warmer seasons. These trails connect to the Superior Hiking Trail so the adventure possibilities are practically endless.

Guests have access to the grill, fire pit and firewood outside of the Camper Cabin. Please ask before taking additional firewood from elsewhere on the property and don’t cut any trees. Feel free to explore the area, but be cautious around the river, the ravine is a steep slope.

This space does not have running water. A clean and well-lit outhouse is located near the cabin. Some drinking water is provided but we recommend you bring additional water. Showers are available at the local YMCA for $13 or at the municipal campground in Grand Marais. The Camper Cabin DOES have electricity and heat. We like to compare our experience to camping but with a solid roof over your head and a comfy bed.
