Highbanks Resort Campground on Lake Winnie

Seventeen miles southeast of campsites near Deer River, Highbanks Resort Campground sits on Lake Winnie within the Chippewa National Forest. This privately managed resort combines full-service amenities with wooded camping sites, including secluded tent spots tucked back in the trees away from the lake view. The facility operates as both a fishing resort with lodge and cabins, plus traditional RV and tent camping with electric and water hookups.

Campers access groceries, an ice cream shop, boat launch, and fishing supplies on-site—valuable amenities given the remote forest location. Sites accommodate both drive-in and boat-in access, with the nearby Tamarack Point Campground just 0.3 miles northeast. Pets stay free, and seasonal site rentals are available for extended stays.

Full service resort with camping available at High Banks landing

This is a full service fishing resort with a lodge and cabin rental, but RV and tent camping is also available. The campsites are very nice and wooded, the tenting sites include some very secluded spots back in the woods which is nice for solitude but precludes a view of the lake. There are daily rates as well as weekly rates for camping or cabin stays. This is a top notch place to stay for a fishing vacation, off the beaten path but with full amenities. It can be a destination vacation spot, or can be a great stop-over for through-paddlers crossing Lake Winnie on the Mississippi River Headwaters Water Trail. Although near the National Forest campground on Tamarack Point, this has many more amenities which is nice when you are so far from the nearest town, especially if you are paddling through and have no vehicle for travel. Amenities include groceries, ice cream shop, full service boat launch and fishing supplies, and more. You might not be into winter camping in a tent, but there are ice houses to rent that you could camp in if you come in winter. More expensive than usual campgrounds, but with more amenities provided and with a stellar location. Pets welcome at no extra charge! Seasonal campsite rental can also be arranged.
