Lakehead Boat Basin & RV Parking

Kelly Dressler

We had the best stay at Lakehead Boat Basin! The owners Joel and Jodi were so friendly and accommodating and Tony was incredibly helpful! We've been dealing with a lot of plumbing issues and everyone had such great advice and were really able to help us out. The location is perfect to Downtown Duluth and we enjoyed walking over the aerial bridge. It is a unique experience watching it lift! Yes, the RV park is in a parking lot, but it made for a unique camping experience and didn't make a difference for us. The spaces are wide, but larger RVs may have more of a challenge backing in (we have a 30ft. Class C Motorhome with no tow vehicle and didn't have any problems). The bathrooms, showers and laundry facilities are maintained by the hotel and are extremely nice and clean. We met a lot of friendly people while staying here and found out that many people stay here year after year. I highly suggest booking a stay here!

Camped here in a motorhome. Great views of the city with ore ships coming and going. We have been staying here for several years and are booked for next year. Owners are very accommodating and friendly.

We stayed the night and booked a water and electric RV site and the host upgraded us to a full hookup site at no additional charge. RV office has some supplies if you forgot something. Shower, WiFi are included. Laundry room is available if needed. I would recommend if you are staying in the Duluth area, easy walk to downtown area restaurants and the views are amazing.

We LOVE staying at Lakehead Boat Basin with our RV, stayed several times, and have always loved the view and the convenience to all of the fun activities only blocks away. The owners are so kind and always try their best to accommodate even in last minute changes. Highly recommend!!

Camping here was recommended by another camper we met on our way back from Glacier. Frankly I’d avoid the place. We hauled our 5th wheel here only to be assigned a site what we couldn’t get into. They had pulled a big 45’ boat out and parked the boat lift right in the way. We ended up getting our money back and drove to a more traditional camp ground. The boat basin is in great location right downtown and a close drive to the beach but the campground is just all pavement so you are camping on a parking lot. If you don’t mid that and have a smaller right then it might work for a night or two. The two red stripes are the camping in the attached photo.

Awsome hole in the wall right on water. And nice and quiet.

Great views of the ships and the lift bridge! No frills camper spot with full hook ups available and shower, laundry available 👍 great jumping off point to explore Duluth and all its offerings! There is noise from the boats and bridge when they come through but fun none the less! Quiet late evening.

Judgemental owners (Joel) and very confusing. Joel said that the rates double when "The first boat is in the water" so be wary. We stayed there for the birth of my nephew for five months. Joel said he wanted us out but never relayed that information to me. He also failed to notify us of the change in rates. He stated that instead of a written notice, he'd "engrave it" instead. If you are not driving a Provost, be careful as the rates change arbitrarily. The owner (Joel) is very Judgemental and not all there. He enjoys belittling customers. Jodi is there saving grace. If she was running it (as we were under the impression she was), I would recommend this business to all.
