About
Judge C.R. Magney Campground is a quiet, peaceful campground located within Judge C.R. Magney State Park along Minnesota's scenic North Shore. The heavily wooded campground features 27 well-spaced drive-in sites, offering privacy and a serene camping experience along the Brule River. The park is best known for the Devil's Kettle waterfall, where the Brule River splits around volcanic rock with half plunging 50 feet into a pool and the other half pouring into a mysterious pothole. The campground operates seasonally from early May through mid-October, with amenities including flush toilets and showers during the camping season. The park itself is open year-round for day use, with vault toilets available throughout the year. The Superior Hiking Trail passes through the park, and approximately 9 miles of trails wind through dense birch and aspen forests, offering scenic views of the Brule River rapids and Lake Superior. Wildlife viewing opportunities include moose, deer, black bears, and various bird species.
