Customer Reviews
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 …
I hardly ever leave reviews, and I do not want to bring the star rating down on a very young business that is still working out the kinks as I think there is a lot of lovely intention in this place, but I did experience some issues while staying here that I wish I would have known about before booking. …
Extremely clean & new. Simple & convenient. Just the basics you need for a good nights sleep. I had no problem whatsoever with the app checkin/door key. Worked great. Good nights sleep & a clean shower, friendly people.
Had a great stay at Zenith Basecamp! Loved the common area where I got to meet lots of other outdoorsy and adventurous people. The entry room with all the local maps for skiing, hiking, paddling, and biking was such a unique touch. The location was also clutch for a quick walkable night cap at nearby Ursa Minor, and morning coffee …
The rooms were very clean and cozy. They even include a small camping chair and cooler that you can take out and about with you for while you’re staying in Duluth, and they give the option to buy them to keep if you want. It’s the perfect little spot to stay for people who just need a place to sleep, …
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 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 …
It is so so nice to finally have a fun, affordable, pet friendly way to rent a room in Duluth! I am always looking for things that are quirky and unique, independently owned and operated, and allow dogs. Zenith Basecamp checks all the boxes! The rooms are great, there are plenty of bathrooms with showers (3 up and 2-3 downstairs). …
Stayed here for a mother/daughter getaway. We enjoyed our time SO much we added another day to our trip. Our door key stopped working shortly after arriving but that was resolved very quickly and we had no issues the rest of the time. The bedroom we stayed in had a very comfortable bed and enough space for us both. The …
We stayed here a few weeks ago and loved it! We don't own a cooler so it was really nice that the we could take the one out on our adventures up the north coast. Our room had an ac/heating unit inside of it so we were comfortable when in the room.
