Unreal camping, especially along the lakeside. This place really has it all. Primitive yet well maintained by the host. Highly recommend bringing along mosquito defenses, quality toilet paper, and a shower to use. Most supplies and firewood can be located in nearby Cass Lake (campsite hosts no longer sell wood).

The sites are full of poison Ivy which was hard to work around. Liked the area lots tho. Our camp host had visitors that were a bit sketchy at the campground.

We love camping here because the sits are so close to the lake and its such a beautiful area! We like going to Walker and looking around in the shops and they have some great restaurants. The trails are nice to walk or bike on too!

A beautiful campground ruined by loud generators. Because it's a rustic, non-power campground, there is almost always someone nearby in a camper with an extremely loud generator running all day. If you are one of those people, can you PLEASE stop ruining others' nature and upgrade to a more quiet generator for your campground use? Or better yet, use it less or not at all. More than once we have had our weekend almost ruined by being right next door to one while the people sat in their camper all day.
This was my favorite campground and we come back every summer, but really wish there was something that could be done about excessively loud generators.

This is our most favorite campsite to go to. It’s close to home, nice sandy beach and affordable. The sites are always clean and the camp host is always friendly and easy to chat with.

  • 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.

    • 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.
