Campers' Paradise

6 ReviewsAdd Review
SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Swimming, fishing, and beach time are the main draws at Campers' Paradise, a campground set on an island in Nevis, Minnesota, reached by driving across a one-lane causeway. That access road is part of what makes the setup distinctive, and it also means larger RVs face real constraints. The campground enforces size limits, and even rigs around 30 feet can find some sites tight, particularly for less experienced drivers backing in. Tent campers have no such concerns.

Lakefront sites include their own sandy walk-in to the water, and interior sites are separated by trees and brush, which reviewers consistently note creates a sense of privacy. The beach area has water trampolines and a play area for kids. Biking and hiking trails are also accessible from the campground. Reviewers across multiple visits report the bathhouse is kept notably clean, with staff making several rounds daily to maintain facilities. One reviewer, Melissa H., describes it as "as close to beach front camping as you will get in MN."

Electric hookups are available for RVs, but there are no water hookups at individual sites. A potable water fill station is on-site. Firewood is available for purchase, and pets are allowed. Reservations are accepted, which matters during peak summer weeks when the campground draws crowds. Nearby, Knotty Pines Resort and Crow Wing Inn Motel and RV Park provide additional options for those exploring campgrounds near Nevis. The campground suits families and water-oriented campers most directly.

Visitors repeatedly highlighted the unique island location accessed by causeway, exceptionally clean facilities, and spacious private sites. Many campers appreciated the sandy beach, family activities, and professional staff, though larger RVs may find sites challenging.

Private Lake Side Camping

Campers' Paradise is island camping that you get to by driving across a 1 lane road to get to the island.  There are lakefront sites or interior sites but this is as close to beach front camping as you will get in MN!  The lake front sites have their own sandy walk in to the water.  The sites are separated by trees/brush so you feel that they are really private.  There's a nice beach/play area for the kids and the bathrooms are really clean.

One of the best spots I’ve stayed at so far!!

We spent 5 days there and it was not enough!! This place has beautiful scenery whether you are in an inside lot or on the lake. Staff was very kind and accommodating and shower/bathhouse were well maintained and setup very nice. I highly recommend this place and have already booked for next year and many more to come!!

So good we're making it a tradition

My wife and a number of her friends have raved about this place so we booked a site for a week over the 4th of July.

First off, every member of the staff we worked with from reservations to the store were wonderful. They were helpful, courteous and polite but you could tell that they were no nonsense. Personally I appreciate that. It signaled to me that we were dealing with professionals and gave me confidence in the campground.

We got there and I knew we were in for a treat. There is a causeway that leads from mainland to the island and it's such a fun and unique way to get to camp. Check in was smooth and went off without a hitch. The facilities were so very clean and well maintained. There was even easy access to a potable water station to fill out camper.

They were very clear from the get go that campers over a certain size weren't allowed and while ours isn't huge, maybe 30 foot hitch to bumper, I could see why they were so up front. We fit into our site and were able to get around when we needed to but it was certainly snug at times and some sites would be tough for a rookie to back into I think. If you're tenting it you've got no issues.

The facilities were amazing! That isn't hyperbole, they were so very clean and modern that we used them instead of our own camper most of the time. The bathhouse is easily the best I've seen at a campground, there are pit toilets scattered about for convenience and we would see staff stop by a few times a day to clean and stock up.

The beach area is great and nice sand. There are tables with umbrellas and volleyball slides in the water.

They offer various things to rent. We didn't use any of them but I remember the rates were very reasonable and what I could see things looked very well maintained.

The two things that stick out in my mind are the lack of bugs and how reasonably priced firewood was. I don't know if they actively control bugs or if it's just a natural byproduct of their unique location but in the week we were there we never applied bug spray.

We loved our one week there so much that we've asked to be put onto a permanent renewal because we will be going back over and over.
