Katadyn Hiker vs. Hiker Pro

What is the difference between the Katadyn Hiker Pro and the Katadyn Hiker? I looked and the size was about the same but the only difference was the Pro had a carbon filter. Which would you recomend?

On my way to Copper Harbor from Ohio, I plan to stay at Hiawatha National Forest. Has anyone stayed here before? Is this a good choice? Suggestions?

I've done some research online. I would like a campground near Route 2.
