No predictions yet but according to some Grand Marais locals the best fall colors usually occur between the end of September and the beginning of October
Dates: September 24, 25, 26, and 27. [size=9pt](Four nights. Check in 9/24 and check out 9/28. Reservations for less than four nights are acceptable.) We have a short term hold on six RV sites [size=14pt]... so be sure to reserve your site before July 25.

Site Info: Sites 116 W through 121W. These sites have electric, water, and sewer hookups. Some sites can accommodate a larger Class A or 5th Wheel. FYI: Lakeside sites cannot be reserved but for a couple of dollars you can upgrade your site on a first come basis. Availability is limited.
Amenities: The campground is pet friendly, and has four restroom/shower facilities throughout the park. Partially wooded sites, picnic tables, fires allowed in available grills. Free Wi-Fi is available at the office and is available at some sites for a fee.
Schedule: This is an unstructured rally so there is no schedule unless participants want to create one. Feel free to make plans with others to share meals, happy hours, go sightseeing or shopping, or it's okay to just do your own thing.
Attractions: There are many things to see and do along Minnesota's North Shore Scenic Drive (143 miles) including waterfalls, lighthouses, photo opportunities, shopping, arts and crafts, hiking and biking trails, and hopefully starlit nights & northern lights.
