Nice campground. We were dry camping in the RV since there was no water. Still a nice place for a winter getaway. Will go back in the fall!
Ranger
Nice trails along the Mississippi River, easy to walk, good signage on trails, and good information signs with history of each site along the trail.
Very Clean men’s bathroom. One shower needs a new shower head.
Sites 40 to 45 are very nice and secluded. Sites 58 and 59 are prime secluded sites.
RangerI came in the spring it was a wet spring there were a lot of bugs. The trails are probably not maintained because it was so wet but they were almost impossible to hike on simply because of the amount of mosquitoes. The bathrooms are nice the camp spots were nice they had good signage for the archaeological stuff. It was just very hard to enjoy it because it was so overwhelmingly buggy.
GuideThe campsite was pretty wooded on most sides. I visited in the late spring so there were quite a few mosquitos since the campground is near the river. Bathrooms/showers were cleanish, water was mid from the outdoor taps but not horrible
RangerThis is a more rustic State Park. There's lots of history here most of it is just a plaque not actually something to see. The river was really high and there was a fair amount of mosquitoes outside but a lot of trails and a lot of signs and a lot of history in the park.
RangerNice wooded campground. Gravel sites, fairly level. Water fill and firewood available at the registration building. The water was high in iron.
Canoe and kayak rentals available. Lots of trails for hiking and biking. Bring bug spray in the summer!
Historical sites along hiking path.
Bathrooms and showers were decent. Dump station on site.

We stayed in a cabin for a week of biking. Excellent location with all the trails. It has a great swimming area, though it did get deep fast for little kids. We brought our paddleboard and had a great time on the quiet lake. We did hike up to the top of the camp area and were glad we stayed in the cabins. The shower/bathroom house was nice. Overall, we would stay here again.
Guide
Very nice RV resort with clean campground, clean bathrooms & showers. Full hookups, good resort wifi and good Verizon.

Lots to do here, very fun, very friendly staff. If you are looking for a good vacation, come here you won’t be disappointed!
TravelerWe stayed in one of the walk-in sites. It was great, not too too buggy. Mostly quiet. Hiking trails in the park are wonderful and there's a lot of history to discover within the park
GuideOne of the best campgrounds I’ve ever been to. The only negative for us was the fact that we had to go to a laundromat in town.
GuideNice park on the Mississippi and Crow Wing Rivers. The park encompasses the 1850’s town of Crow Wing. Great hiking trails. A lot of mosquitoes. Bring spray.

We love Minnesota, almost more than we love Wisconsin - only because the natural beauty and the numerous, non-ending lakes to explore. Instead of “ruffing it” we decided to treat ourselves with a cabin rental and don’t regret the splurge. Adorable cabins, with nice layout, on Pine Mountain Lake, which is one of many is of Minnesota's hidden treasured lakes. I don’t fish but it was fun watching others. This stay was quiet, relaxing and we left feeling rejuvenated. Excellent amenities and folks. Ya know, MN nice is a thing!

They have cabins, camp sites, and restaurant/bar. Right on Lake osakis, which usually has good fishing.
ScoutTent site is an open area with tall trees. It also offered an open view of the night sky & enjoyed watching the full moon! Next to the shower house which makes it a convenient trip to the bathroom. Stayed one night but will stay longer when bringing the kayaks. Price for this spot made my trip super cheap!
Ranger
I’m talking winter camping on the lake on the Ice in an “Ice castle” catching walleye.
Had a great time fishing in the camper (Ice Castle) well plowed roads, nice showers. Lots of other ice fisherman in January and February.
My largest walleye here was a slot fish, actually caught a lot of slot fish here.
GuideGot here just after 4pm. No one to check us in. Only place to fill with water is at the dump station( and it is really slow, got harrased by the Park Ranger about speeding our bicycles to fast through the campground, and lastly went to get firewood( you cant bring your own in and I understand that) there was no wood. And same ranger harrased son in law for chopping the wood he got into smaller pieces. And I have only been here 1 day.
LegendWe give this resort 5 stars because, despite it not being visitor friendly, they are up front in their policies about visitors and the place is great in all other respects. If you want to have visitors while staying here it is best to consider these policy before visiting as they are strictly enforced. We won’t stay here again because of those policies despite how great the amenities are.
OK, for the good stuff. Sites are huge, very dog friendly, quiet, ice and firewood on site, cute little lake with gorgeous sunsets, huge kiddy play area on water, free kayak and paddle board use, nice little onsite store. Be aware much of the place is seasonal rentals but these sites are kept very tidy. Whole place is immaculate. Also have 3 docs and a small boat landing.
Guide
Love this resort. It is the perfect size on a perfect size clean lake. We had a site right on the water with W/E and close to outhouse and shower house. We had our own dock and there were plenty of water equipment to rent. The owners are very friendly and helpful. We will be back and hope to bring others with us next time.
GuideRight on the lake with private dock. Sites a close by. Most have water and electric. Full hookups are very limited. Only 4 site near the back. Off of a quiet road. No traffic noise. Lake is clean but dark with ore. Loons frequent. Turtle lake channels over to another lake. Makes a great boat or kayak trip. Boat kayak paddle board and paddle boat rentals available.
Scout
Beautiful place. Non expensive. Not many tent sites but we had one down the hill and it was perfect. Very peaceful and owners are respectful and kind.
ScoutReally reasonable rates. Clean and detailed bathroom and showers. Laundry available. 30, 50 amp hookups. Back in trailer sites. Nice cabins, very reasonable rates. Everything REALLY CLEAN. beautiful swimming pool. Owners, Bill and Candy Ruttger are GREAT people, very helpful. This property offers great value! See their website.
ScoutAfter reading in other review locations peoples run-ins with the owner Jane and her husband, I'd stay far far away from their place. The word dictator comes to mind.
I came there to buy a camper from a seasonal person. I decided to stop by the office to ask about the deck the office has to move in order for me to drive the camper away. Having already driven 2.5 hours I wanted to avoid a second round trip if possible. Why the camper owner didn't already have this done is a good question or why he neglectfully dropped this on me 40 minutes away but be it as it may. I came into the main building, the owner Jane was not friendly or understanding. She instead suggested I could not buy the trailer until her friend looked at it first. That's right, it's not her trailer or her who placed the sale ad but she tried to manipulate and dictate the situation to suit her wants. I said it's a first come first serve sale, if I decide to buy it it's mine...she said no, everyone should be able to see it then go from there. I don't know what planet this lady came from to assert this. My mind was blown when she went further to say "you can't go onto a car dealers lot and buy and drive off with the vehicle that day." I'm like that is exactly how that works. Lol.
The owner lady Jane caggy and rudely insisted I stay at the office while she meet with the seller somewhere on the property. I knew exactly her intention was to try to convince the seller to sell to her friend and not me. I followed her, we got to the seller, she yelled at me for following and proceeded to do exactly what I thought she was going to do. Very twisted, inconsiderate, manipulate woman and her husband who showed up is no better. She even went so far as to suggest 'I jumped the line' (in reference to showing times). Unreal. She will create any alternative world to bring about what she wants. I previously scheduled the showing with the sellers wife, even had a cashier's check made out to the seller at their request but according to her I jumped the line.
From my experience and others I read, for sanity's sake avoid this place.
ScoutWe introduced our youngest to camping at this campground. It’s a crazy story. In summary you couldn’t ask for a better first time family campground as far as my sons first camping experience lol well I’m surprised he doesn’t deeply hate camping. Everything that could of went wrong did including rain on a clear forecast and we didn’t equip the rain fly.

Perfect little camper cabin and site. Fabulous park staff that even turned the heater on for us before we arrived. The cabin has electricity, heat, no plumbing. No cooking inside, wonderful fire ring for cooking, which we used at night.
Ranger
We stayed in the lodge cabins in August 2021 fir a family reunion. Great facility with many types if cabins. Beautiful spot with lakes all around.
