Urban Camping

After we left the north shore of Lake Superior Bud drove us, towing the trailer, though downtown Duluth…

and across the famous Aerial Lift Bridge.

Our campsite is here, at the Lakehead Boat Basin, where we are slotted in a row in a parking lot that in winter is the boat storage area.

There is one more row of campers along the side of the marina. And it is also on a parking lot.

The only shade Matey and I can find is alongside the camper, and the truck pretty much blocks our view. But I like it here.

On the far side of the basin you can walk out along the jetty and get a great view of south Duluth.

I always like to be around boats.

There we are, just across the marina.

The spit of land we are on is called Park Point.

Walking on the harbor side there are always boats to see.

The streets are surprisingly residential, with the Aerial Bridge…

dominating views near us.

There are a lot of pretty gardens.

There are plenty of places to access the beach that runs the whole length of the lake side.

You can hardly tell there is a city around you,

unless you look northwest, across the channel to the rest of Duluth.

It’s urban but there are plenty of interesting sights. I look forward to exploring the area from our asphalt base camp.
