Summary
AI generated
Winnie Campground is praised for its friendly host, Nicole, who has significantly improved the campground's cleanliness and maintenance. Campers appreciate the spacious, beautiful sites, immaculate vault toilets, and the peaceful atmosphere, especially during less crowded times. However, there are some concerns regarding bear activity in the area, which has prompted campers to be cautious with food storage.
Been staying at this campground for about 40+ yrs. The best part is the large campsites, spaced out so you don’t see or hear the next site. And now it’s open till the middle of October. Always liked fall camping, no bugs and sweatshirt weather. The walking trail along the lake is too overgrown and blocks the clear view of the lake. The sites are clean and mowed, the lake path should be too. Phone reception is good too. Water is clear and sandy for swimming out front. Priced very reasonable and like the primitive style camping. Maybe when retired I can be camp host and cut up some fallen trees and mow a little more.
I have been camping here for a few years now and I have always had a great experience the sites are well laid out with plenty of room to pull a trailer into and the views out of the lakeside sites are absolutely stunning. The roads to the campground are always well maintained and even after a huge storm passed during my last trip the roads had been cleared less than 6 hours after the storm was over. Overall this is a perfect campground for relaxing and enjoying the beauty of the Chippewa forest.
We were kicked out of our campsite on Thursday, June 25, by the local DNR because we were tenting and there was a 'bear problem' in the area. We lost two full nights of our paid reservation and were not refunded that amount.
Our campground host (Nichol) is 'rock solid'. As a 'Native American' she understands the need to connect with nature thru camping in the outdoors. The walking trails and campsites were mowed to keep back the poison ivy and mosquitoes. The bathrooms were always furnished with toilet paper and clean. I even saw her distribute some free firewood to the campsites.
The unfortunate thing that happened was a bear breaking into a sleeping tent during the day. The Conservation Officers told us we had we had to leave at 7:30 PM, if we slept in a tent, or receive a citation. This whole thing was blown way out of proportion with the limited time frame. Packing up and going home made families travel all night to get home at 5 AM in southern Minnesota. What will USFWL, do to compensate us for having to leave 2 days prior to our paid departure date?
Camp host Nicole and her husband do a great job of maintaining campsites. Best we have seen for a long, long time. The path along the lake could be trimmed out a little better.
Take Highway 2 six miles east of Cass Lake. Turn north on County Road 10 and drive two miles to County Road 91. Turn right onto County Road 91 and continue for just over three miles, to Forest Road 2171. Drive six miles northeast on Forest Road 21...
Take Highway 2 six miles east of Cass Lake. Turn north on County Road 10 and drive two miles to County Road 91. Turn right onto County Road 91 and continue for just over three miles, to Forest Road 2171. Drive six miles northeast on Forest Road 2171 to Forest Road 2168, then four miles south to the campground.
Winnie Campground is accessible via Highway 2, located approximately six miles west of the campground near Cass Lake.
Policies & Rules
Arrival & departure
After the reservation season, there may be sites available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Cancellation policy
Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
Fees & deposits
A fee is charged for each camping unit at the site, with an extra charge for additional units.
