Nice roomy campsite, showers and bathrooms were good, lots of hot water but could a bit of clean up, lots of dead insects inside and out.

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.

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.

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.

I understand that you cannot do anything about bugs and weather. I think it would have helped if the grass was cut around the sites. We were there for two weeks and the grass was never cut around our camper. Also in between the campers was knee-high. I think that would have helped the situation for us. Thanks Chuck Martin

This used to be a great place. Now it’s a mess! Cold showers. They said they are aware of the problem, but can’t seem to figure out how to fix it. The grass is overgrown, fire pits, haven’t been emptied in ages, And overall, it just gets more and more rundown looking. We won’t be coming back!

The site was nice, close to bathrooms. However, the fish flies were really bad. I could manage the living ones, but all the dead ones around and in the bathrooms were awful. Also, the interior bathroom lights did not work at night. The beach was not very nice. We left a day early.
