Stony Point

I have stayed at Stony Point from the early 1980's thru early 2000's. It was by far my favorite campground.... That changed this year. The areas normally mowed were all grown over, NO FIREWOOD!!! I had to drive back towards Walker to find firewood.... Even though your website states, you cannot bring firewood in.... In the handicap bathroom, no toilet paper for 5 mornings.... Pretty dissapointed.

Arrived to find someone in my campsite, and when I called the Recreation.gov phone number, there was a 2+ hour waiting period to talk to customer service. Tried calling the National Forest, but it was a Saturday and they were closed. There were no signs displaying If a camp host was present, or where a host was located within the campground. So that isn't a reflection on Stoney Point, but rather the reservation process in general. There is really no timely recourse for paying customers if there are holdover tenants in the campground. I finally proceeded to confront the holdover occupants and showed them my reservation, and thankfully they agreed to relocate to a different site. Campsite was clean, 30A power worked fine. Zero hot water in showers.... Note on the wall said to turn on multiple showers to activate the hot water system. I turned on 6 showers simultaneously, but still got no hot water for a shower. LOTS of mosquitos. Several low-lying bog/swamp areas in and around the campground so mosquitos were pretty thick. Stiff breeze coming off the lake helps keep them down, but at night it gets pretty buggy. Mayfly hatch was also happening, so bugs bugs everywhere. So the only real "operational" complaint I have is 1) Cold showers and 2) No customer service to reach out to in the event of a problem. Otherwise a nice campground with a LOT of bugs when I visited in June.

Great campground! My dad started our family tradition camping at Stony point on Leech Lake. He recently passed this year before our camping trip. We plan to continue our camping tradition in honor of him. Stony point brought him so much joy.

Great sites, lots of shade, bathhouse nice, pit toilets close to most sites. Would like to see campfire wood available again. Reasonable rates
