Onegume

We have been returning to this campground for 7 years now. There was a new host this year. We will probably give it one more go next year but this is what bothered us. The host riding around on a lawnmower at any given time of day, power tools, and DOGS!!! There was constant barking off in the distance like someone locked their pet in a camper and left for 3 days. Also, the people next to us had a dog that would yap from time to time. Which wasn't too bad. They left after one night then but then the next people that moved in had 2 dogs that would bark at anything that moved. It says wherever you made your reservation that dogs MUST BE WELL BEHAVED! Why didn't the host do something about this. Which leads me to the host riding around on a loud riding lawn mower. Back and forth and it woke me up twice. I understand quiet hours are 10-pm to 7am but that doesn't mean you should be obnoxious as soon as the clock rolls over 7am. Its a vacation. Its nice to sleep in a little. So back to the neighbors with the 2 dogs that bark at anything that moves. At exactly 7am they started running drills and hammers building something in their campsite... They did the night before as well. So annoying... On a positive note. The campground itself is really nice. Lots of coverage between sites. (except ours ironically which had a wide path mowed between the 2) they should let that grow in. Toilets are clean and don't stink. Drinking water is delicious. Nice dock. Good fishing, depending on the time of year.

All I can say it was a great stay!!! I've been going there since I was a year old and now I'm 23 and brought my 2 year old with!!!! Best campground in the Chippewa National Forest. I want to recommend fishing how to do's before going on the dock, I see people with the most ridiculous fishing set ups and I go down there with 23 years of experience and pull in keeper fish after keeper fish while people can barley pull in a tiny perch. I'd show people how to rig their stuff up to catch fish but nobody listens!!!!

Site 7 has 2 large trees, 1 on each side, that make backing into the site a challenge, as it is pretty narrow. Will probably not use this site a g ain.

Site 18, great location. Early season so no bugs. Campsite clean and well maintained.

Been camping at Onegume for 30 plus years but anymore we can never get a site on the lake. It’s impossible! And now all the sites must be reserved so no first come first serve. So the people who live up here can’t even get a decent site. And it’s the same people camping there week after week, all summer long. I live 15 mi from this campground and haven’t been able to get a lake site for 10 yrs! What’s the deal??? It’s not right! Also the check out time is messed up. It used to be that your last paid day was the last night you camped there and you left the next morning. But now it’s that you pay for that last day but have to be out of the site by 1 that day. What’s the deal. Again not right. You paid for that day so you stay til the next day. It’s not fair! But I must say the hostess at this site is just a great lady! She’s a true Northern Mn camper. She does a bang up job! So in closing I want to say that you need to go back to the way it was before. With not all the sites, including all the lake sites, be first come first serve, so the people who live and work up here, and aren’t so computer literate, can get a decent lake site once in a while. And back to first come first serve til the end of May for reserving all the sites. It’s the fair way for the area people. Thanks!
