GuidePerfect 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.
GuideI had a very...interesting experience at the camper cabins this week! I stayed at the cabin #3 this week, Monday through Thursday (3 nights). Monday and Tuesday were awesome. I was the only one there on the whole side of the road, and it was soooo peaceful.
Early Wednesday morning (around 3am)is where things stopped being peaceful. A really bad storm developed (that I had no idea was coming). It was probably the worst storm I had ever experienced in my life. Five trees fell in the yard, one small one hitting the cabin. One tree even fell a couple of feet behind my car, blocking me in. After taking a short walk when the sun came up, I realized the damage was everywhere in the park. I was seeing downed trees all over every single trial and road. I emailed the park office which opened at 8 that I was trapped, and they cleared all the trees from the office to where I was (almost three miles away) and was getting me out by 9:30. I was so impressed with how fast they worked. Amazing job! They offered to give me a refund if I wanted to go home early (I didn't, because I was still really enjoying my time there). I will definitely be back!
Without the whole storm fiasco, here are some pros and cons:
Pro *the cabins are gorgeous and cozy. *they have electric and heat (a gas burning stove heats the cabin, how cute!) *there's a screened in porch allowing you to enjoy the weather without bugs. *the vault toilet is really close, but there is also flush toilets with a shower in the campground, which is like a five minute walk, or a very short drive. *the mattresses on the bunk beds appear to be newer than some cabins I stayed in, that being said, a foam mattress topper isn't a bad idea if you struggle to sleep *the trails are gorgeous. The cabins aren't far from the lake either. There's a visitor center that's currently closed for renovations (2026) but I think will be open next year. There's a short interpretive trail behind it too. *there's a fire ring and picnic table outside.
Cons (there aren't many!) *I think being separated from the main campground is both a pro and a con, depending on your personality. If you like solitude then it's perfect. If you enjoy being where everyone else is, then it's a con.
LegendWe 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!
ScoutMyself and some friends spent the weekend here in July. There are 10 tent sites and many cabins. We stayed in tents. The sites are rustic but have fire rings and some have charcoal grills in them. The bathrooms are spotless and come with real flush toilets and sinks. There is even showers in both of them. Most people come here to ride the red dirt mtb trails of Cuyuna so the showers are a great amenity! Beautiful views of the lake (mine pit) and swimming off of the private dock. If you want to fish here you must have a trout stamp. We want to come back and rent a cabin next time. Overall 10/10 would recommend and will return!

GuideI've stayed in both the cabins and the camping area. The cabins are my favorite because of the lake views, proximity to the bathhouse, and heat/AC units. Cabin #5 has the best unobstructed views of the lake. Cabins have WiFi. The campground is nice but only has a primitive toilet adjacent to the campsites. There are no electric or sewer hookups, but there are a couple of tent sites than can accommodate small campers. I camped in site #18 and it either isn't very level or I just did a poor job of setting up my tent because we were slanted all night. Great stargazing at both the cabins and the tent sites.
Check-in information is shared via email (key codes for the bathhouse and the cabin locks). The emails are very informative and the owners have been prompt to reply when I had questions. They even offer up the option to have firewood delivered to your site (either cabin or tent site) before you arrive.
This is my favorite place to stay in Crosby because it's so close to both the Rally Center Trailhead and Crosby. My favorite places in town are Red Raven (great coffee shop with good breakfast and lunch food options), Crosby Pub (wide variety of food - burgers, salads, appetizers), Rafferty's Pizza (pizza and beer plus a couple of arcade games in the back), and Iron Range Eatery (a little fancier than Crosby Pub (but not by much) and offers great food as well). All of these restaurants offer outdoor seating.
ScoutWe have camped here a few times. Kathio is a big park with lots of trails. Camp sites are decent sized and most have trees in between them. some of the sites are bigger and more secluded. All sites except hike-ins have fire pit with grill grate and picnic table. mosquitos are extra brutal mid summer here so be prepared.
GuideStopped for a night during our cross country travels. Stayed at RV site 4 which is bordered by trees on one side which was nice for privacy. Overall the tent sites appeared to be pretty private although closer together than I expected from looking at the map. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Firewood is for sale. There is a very nice kitchen with running water and showers were large, private, and clean. Only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because it is right off highway and you can hear traffic and I was hoping for a bit more space between sites given what I saw on map. Would definitely stay here again!
GuideThis campground has 2 parts, the north section and the south section. The south is on a peninsula with just a few campsites. The north is the bigger part of the campground. The sites in the north are large and very well kept, each with a picnic table, fire ring and level sights. Two campground hosts who are very friendly and accommodating. Just a few vault toilets. If there's anywhere to improve, it is the number of toilets in the bigger campground. The south campground has the shower house and laundry, along with flush toilets. All in all, a very nice place to stay.
Camping cabins near Cuyuna, Minnesota provide access to the area's unique iron-rich waters and over 5,000 acres of recreation land in the Cuyuna Country State Recreation Area. At 1,250 feet elevation, the region features deep mine pit lakes with water depths reaching 550 feet. Winter temperatures can drop below -30°F, while summer averages around 80°F with humid conditions.
Trail access from camp: True North Basecamp connects directly to the Cuyuna mountain bike trail system. "Super convenient to excellent restaurants and Cuyuna Brewery in downtown Crosby. Connected by trail to Cuyuna Rec Area world class mountain bike trails," writes Craig O.
Lake activities: Paddle on the mine lakes directly from many campgrounds. "I 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," shares Stacy M. about her True North experience.
Fishing options: Many lakes in the area offer unique fishing opportunities. At Mission Beach Resort, sites provide shoreline fishing access. "The resort is small, but everyone is friendly. No tent sites available on the lake as those are reserved for rv, but the tent area is nice and wooded," notes Brandon F.
Cabin amenities: Red Rider Resort offers thoughtful facilities beyond basic sleeping quarters. "Staff was very friendly and helpful. Firewood is for sale. There is a very nice kitchen with running water and showers were large, private, and clean," explains Lauren.
Beach access: Many cabins feature swimming areas for cooling off during summer visits. "We loved this campground and this area! We have site 1 which was right on the lake. We were able to park the camper parallel to the lake which was amazing. Such a beautiful view!" writes Nick K. about Camp Holiday Resort.
Stargazing opportunities: Clear night skies provide excellent viewing conditions. "Great stargazing at both the cabins and the tent sites," notes Makayla B. about True North Basecamp's cabins and campground.
Reservation timing: Book early for peak season, particularly for mountain biking. "Super convenient to excellent restaurants and Cuyuna Brewery in downtown Crosby. Very clean bathrooms/showerhouse. Owners are very responsive," explains Craig O. about True North.
Site characteristics: Some cabins offer more privacy than others. "Only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because it is right off highway and you can hear traffic and I was hoping for a bit more space between sites given what I saw on map," Lauren notes about Red Rider Resort.
Seasonal considerations: Winter accommodations are limited in the area. At Crow Wing State Park, "This is one campground in Minnesota that offers a handful of electric hookups for winter camping. The vault toilet is not easy to find from where the electric openings are in the winter," advises Amy G.
Playground access: Some resorts offer dedicated children's areas. "Nice campground for a family experience. Camping with two toddlers can be a lot, it helps when there are two nice playgrounds here, a slide, water trampoline, nice beach, and nice, clean bathrooms," shares lexie about Camp Holiday Resort.
Water fun for kids: Look for cabins with shallow swimming areas. "We tent camped and appreciated the clean facilities, activities for kids to do, and close to great fishing lakes," Kylie M. mentions about Camp Holiday Resort.
Group accommodations: For family reunions or large gatherings, specific sites work better. "True North Basecamp is a more recent development in the Cuyuna area. Since I've only stayed at the Group campsite I shall reflect on that. When you enter into the camp it is clearly marked," Susan H. explains.
Site leveling: Be prepared with leveling blocks as some RV sites aren't perfectly flat. "Most of the lake side sites were pretty uneven, bring plenty of leveling blocks. That was really the only negative we had, but it wasn't really a big deal because we came prepared with just enough leveling blocks," advises Angela J. from Camp Holiday Resort.
Golf access: Wildwedge Golf and RV Park combines camping with recreation. "This is a great little campground we discovered a few years ago. It has large sites that are on the golf course with nice trees and shade. The kids loved the mini golf and maze and we all loved the cute little golf course that was very well maintained," Jesse J. shares.
Winter RV options: Limited full-hookup sites exist for cold-weather camping. "While these spaces are right next door to a shower house with toilets, this is closed in the winter. The vault toilet is several rows over and down, making it hard to find if you don't already know where it is," notes Amy G. about Crow Wing State Park's winter camping.
