Huntersville Forest Landing

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Drive-in access and year-round availability make Huntersville Forest Landing a functional stop in Huntersville State Forest, managed by DNR Forestry. The campground has drinking water, toilets, and fire rings, but the layout draws mixed reactions: several sites sit in the open near the road, in what reviewers describe as a former baseball diamond. Crowd levels can spike later in the day. Huntersville Township sits roughly 2 miles northeast for campers wanting a different setup.

A stop on our canoe trip

We were headed down the Crowe Wing River and stopped here to grab a snack. A few tent pads, a few fire rings. Was fine while we were stopped, but I heard from a friend that later in the day, it got really busy here. Not sure if that's typical because of location, but I think there might be better, quieter places to camp.

Awesome single track dirt bike trails!

The trails here are amazing! Very well kept by the Twin Cities Trail Riders. Even a newer rider could handle the single track at a slow pace. There are also state forest roads and ATV trails for a different experience. Not a huge fan of the campground - bunch of sites out in the open by the road in what looks like an old baseball diamond - but you could probably ride in a little further and find a fun spot to camp.
