We are at the municipal campground on Burlington Bay, in Two Harbors, MN, along the north shore of Lake Superior (map).
Yesterday we diverted from US-53 onto MN-1, a relatively twisty and hilly road (well, for Minnesota, anyway) that loops through the Superior National Forest in the north-eastern corner of the state. That road deposited us on the lake shore at the Tettegouche State Park, which we thought would be a nice place to camp. Apparently, so did many other people, and the place was full by the time we arrived. The lake shore route is apparently a popular summer destination, for campgrounds to be full mid-week.
Our choices were to backtrack along 1 and camp in the forest, or head south-west along the lake shore on MN-61 for 30 miles or so to this place. While this is not really our sort of campground (it is very much like a commercial park, only run by the city), we got a great spot with an unobstructed view of the lake.
Today we will continue along the lake to Duluth and into Wisconsin.
