Where: Schroeder, Minn., about 80 miles north of Duluth along the North Shore.Cabins: A total of 14 cabins, including eight log cabins along the river and lake, handbuilt in the 1930s, and three frame cabins along the lake, built in the 1940s. All have kitchenettes, fire pits and bathrooms.

Camping: 25 tent sites and 35 RV sites. The resort covers 60 acres, including a half-mile of Lake Superior shoreline; most campsites are on the lake or have lake views. It's the only privately owned campground on Superior shoreline between Two Harbors and Grand Marais.

Amenities: A small gift shop, a tiny pinball arcade. Campers share restrooms, sauna and showers. Pets are welcome.

Things to do: Access to the Superior Hiking Trail is just across Hwy. 61. Schroeder has the Cross River Heritage Center museum, the Schroeder Baking Co. and a post office. You're not far from Lutsen and Tofte, with shopping and restaurants, and Temperance River State Park, with miles of trails.

WiFi: If you must have Wi-Fi, and I confess I must, you can pick it up free on the porch of the office/gift shop. Sitting on the Adirondack chairs among the hanging pots of geraniums is not a bad place to surf the Web.
