Two Island Lake Campground is a Forest Service campground in the Gunflint Ranger District of Superior National Forest in northeastern Minnesota. The land is managed by the Forest Service, and the nearest town is Lutsen, about 16 miles away. The site has restrooms, and it is not reservable, so you can arrive without a reservation. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical July averages from a nearby weather station run to a high of 73°F and a low of 54°F, and the station sits about 470 feet lower than the campground, so temperatures here run a little cooler. Several other spots lie within a few miles. Kemo Lake-Pine Lake is about 1.4 miles away and Talus Lake-West Twin Lake about 2.1 miles. Ball Club Lake and East Twin Lake are both about 3 miles off, and Ball Club Lake Site 1 is a little farther at 3.2 miles.
