The Pines of Kabetogama Resort

Beautiful location right on Lake Kabetogama. Lake views and full hookups. Prettier than pictures show.

Pricey @$95/night but great location for Voyageurs NP. Staff very helpful. Truly a scenic & peaceful area. Hire a guide to boat you around, it's worth it.

GETTING UP TO THE CLIFF: reviews talk about how nice it is that they greet you and show you to your site in a golf cart. This is because there’s one giant hill to go in or out and they’re mitigating problems.

LOCATION: if your intent is spend all day on the lake boating, fishing and swimming - then return to your camper to eat and spend time with your family, then this place is great. If you desire any other activities that are not lake related (local attractions, breweries, dog parks, hikes) then this place feels a little isolated.

VALUE: If you don’t get the preferred lake view spots, staying on the Cliffside is not worth it. While you can see the lake (through other spots) there are very few trees and some of the fire pits are right on the road. It’s a cliff top parking lot. Maybe if we stayed in the Standard Lake Level RV Site with the docks and grassy area it would’ve been better.

BATHROOMS: A lot of people rave about the bathrooms. Maybe this is for the cabins? The cliffside bathrooms are a trailer restroom, so they’re just like the ones in your camper. Small and easily clogged. The restrooms on lake level have regular toilets but the showers are just as small. Don’t try to bend over.

STAFF: the staff are super nice and help with everything.

Very nice RV resort. Beautiful views of lake at cliff sites. Clean,roomy bathrooms. Good wifi service.

In our years of RV travels The Pines of Kabetogama is among the best RV resorts we have ever stayed at. Long story short, the resort itself provides direct access to Voyageurs National Park, is immaculately maintained, has top-shelf amenities, and the staff is amazing. You truly get what you pay for.

After hours of driving, we just wanted to get to our site and settle in. Upon arrival, Jeanne greeted us at the front office and was very kind, friendly, and helpful. She treated us like family. Tom guided us to site number 20 on the upper level with a poured concrete pad with pristine full-hookups. We were pleasantly surprised at just how spread-out the sites were. There isn't a bad site in the entire resort. It comes down to what your preference is. Do you prefer the community experience? The sites on the lower level fill that preference. Spread out with more privacy? Reserve a site on the upper level.

The restrooms were an unexpected surprise. Absolutely spotless with granite countertops and glass bowl sinks!?! We didn't expect to walk into a luxury bathroom experience at an RV resort.

The view of the sky at night was amazing. We didn't know this until we arrived and walked over to the Lake Kabetogama Voyageurs National Park Visitors Center that the park is Dark Sky Certified.

Having direct shoreline access to Voyageurs National Park was the highlight for my family. As soon as you are on the water, you are in a National Park. If you have a boat be sure and bring it along, otherwise, you can rent one from the resort and tour the lake. Tom informed us that if you have a motorhome RV, as we do, and you tow your boat the staff will launch your boat for you. The resort has a very large dock system with 16 slips by our count.

In terms of wildlife, we were fortunate enough to see more deer than we could count, as well as several bald eagles, and loons during our stay.

There are on-site coin-operated washers and dryers which we did not use, but are nice to know are available. If we were there for a longer stay we would use them for sure.

Even though we were not staying in the luxury cabins, the staff was kind enough to allow us to peek inside and they are immaculate. The decor is iconic, and the finishing touches are high quality. They aren't like the other ramshackle bunkhouses with spring bed frames we've stayed at in the past.

As I began my review, because the resort itself provides direct access to Voyageurs National Park, is immaculately maintained, has top-shelf amenities, and the staff is amazing you truly get what you pay for.

We stayed at the Pines over Memorial Weekend, huge site on the hill overlooking the lake. Beautiful view everywhere you look. Site was level, our hosts were gracious and friendly. We thought the pull up the hill to our site was actually fun! Convenience stores 8 minutes away have everything you need. Food, wine, tackle, gifts... and some seriously good ice cream. Loved it, and will book it again next year!

Really nice resort camp ground. Jackie was awesome with helping us find boat rental and other amenities. Just wish there was a tad more shade on the cliff side. Great experience
