Stayed here last night on our way up to Superior HT and what a gem. Very clean. Everything you need. Private bathroom, shower and rooms. Information room has plenty of items to help you plan a trip up here. Check in and parking was easy and had a drink at the bar attached before bed. Will definitely stay here again. We need more hostels like these. Reminded me of ones I've stayed in overseas.

We stayed at Zenith Basecamp for our very first glamping outing. Normally we use a hotel or tent it at a park. Zenith was perfect for us! It was a great change to be able to shower after a day exploring versus going to bed feeling dirty. The rooms are immaculate, they supply a really nice cooler and chair for you to use, and the beds are marvelous. Outside the room is a really cool common area to chat with people and share experiences or play games.
On the first floor is an Altitude. I haven’t been to a bar this nice in years. Also the staff will have you laughing while making some of the best drinks around.
The retail store, Free Air Life Co., WOW. I love this store and will be back to shop. I enjoy being able to find great outdoor gear and clothing that also helps the environment. Some of the brands will plant trees with each piece purchased. As an outdoors person, this is super important to me.
Finally, they have a room of maps that show all of the local trails around duluth for any activity. Plus maps for the SHT and also the BWCAW. Zenith is a must-stay!!!

We moved from Duluth a few years ago but regularly make an impromptu trip to hit our favorites. We always look for locally owned spots to stay, and love that this place encourages enjoying all the great natural gems this area has to offer. We traveled with our dog and 14 year old and were thrilled to find this spot with a really affordable price point. Super easy reservation, helpful (but not intrusive) staff at check in, the space was exactly as described so we came prepared with all the "camping" creature comforts...but were delighted to find some awesome extras in the shared spaces (we over packed, a good problem to have)! Clean bathrooms, compost bins on each floor!, and really great food/bev options really close. The proximity to a morning hike in Lincoln Park along Miller Creek is underrated. We'll absolutely be back and will probably bring friends. Love this new everyone-friendly space in LNPK!
