North Shore Minnesota end of July
We are looking at going to the North Shore of Minnesota last week in July. We have a 30ft travel trailer. I see a lot of the campgrounds do not have electricity just wondering if they allow generators...

Some good information above. With a 30 foot camper you will be limited in some of the state parks. Jay Cooke is a great park, but they only have a few sites that fit a 30 foot camper and unfortunately driving through the campground there are alot of trees and it's narrow so you need to be careful. That being said, if you can get in the front area it's a wonderful park.
It's rare that you need air conditioning along the north shore in the summer, but last summer there was an unusual heat wave which lasted almost 2 weeks and temps were in the 90's (which is very hot for the north shore). This also brought many black flies.
Our favorite park along the north shore is Temperance River as the sites are far apart, there is a ton of hiking to do in the area as well as a few places to eat, and for kids access to Lutsen where you could take the gondola up the mountain and ride the slide. Lambs resort is just down the road from Temperance and would be a good alternative to this area.
With kids try to get up to Grand Portage. They have a great old fort that is very interactive and interesting and there is also a short boardwalk that will take you to the highest waterfall in Minnesota.
