    Savanna Portage State Park

    Savanna Portage Long Weekend

    Lovely sites with plenty of trees so most sites are quite private. Mosquitoes are brutal here, especially on the hiking club trail and to a somewhat lesser degree in the campground. We were thankful to have a screen tent for this visit. No Verizon cell service at the campground. Surprisingly good cell service at the Loon Lake area of the park, which also has a beautiful short hike!

    nice Campground in Midsotta

    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!

    Sandy Lake

    Small clean park with active host and rangers

    Base camp for fishing Big Sandy. Stayed here several times in a tent and a trailer. Nice sites but surrounded by swampy areas so mosquitoes are thick.

    Very clean, pay attention to north or south entrance. Have to drive on either end can’t cross the dam with a vehicle.

    But firewood before hand as well.

    Beautiful trails, easy to walk

    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.

    Crow Wing State Park

    Semi Secluded Site

    The 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

    True North Basecamp

    Great spot

    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.

    Overall, a quiet and good campground.

    Some sites that are closest to the river are close together but okay view. Vaulted toilet and recycling/dumpster close proximity.

    Beautiful Park

    We 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

    Great Campsites

    Nice 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.

    Beautiful park, okay campground

    Savanna portage is gorgeous with serene lakes and some nice hiking! We loved the continental divide trail. The campground is a little cramped and rustic. My main complaint was the water was full of iron- it was a little brown and didn’t taste very good. Overall, a perfectly great experience though- beautiful nature, not many people, what more could you want? Mosquitos are terrible- come prepared!!!

    Mississippi River - COE/Sandy Lake - TEMPORARILY CLOSED

    NOT Closed

    This COE campground is fully open and functional. There’s a nice variety of sites available, a boat landing and docks, shower building, dump station, playground, beach, etc. It’s all very nicely maintained. Some of the sites are a bit open to each other, but are well spaced. Tip - drinking water in the North Campground is not at the dump station, but on the other end near the boat launch.

    Natural Luxury

    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!

    Little Crowded But still peaceful

    I have stayed here in the past, but that was a couple years ago. I stayed this time to go hiking and kayaking in the area. There are several trails near the area and some connected to the campsite. I tried to hike around the lake but ran into several impassable spots bc of a recent rain. I really do like the variety of this camp ground as you can get both electric, non-electric, group sites, and smaller sites all right close. I have hiked several of the trails and always see lots of wildlife. It is a great place to go and get lost in the woods...on some trails of course. I would highly recommend.

    Meets camping expectations

    Tent 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!

    Ice fishing Mecca

    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.

    Do not recommend.

    Got 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.

    Great but not visitor friendly

    We 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.

    Savanna Portage State Park

    Map not accurate

    We were frustrated as a family with 2 young kids to find that the “playground” on the map is just a green (actually weed) space with no playground, no volleyball net, literally nothing. The trail around shumway lake is apparently closed which I take to mean unkept so we stayed off of it. Not much to do with kids unless you drive over to loon lake. They have a small beach and small playground. The trail around loon lake is nice and ok for kids 6+. Frustrated that the map is inaccurate as we always choose sites near a playground for the kids and this one is nonexistent even though it’s listed on the map.

    The other thing that was extremely annoying is that the flies and mosquitoes are completely out of control. We literally couldn’t sit outside. It was the RV or the gazebo. And this was all day, not just at night.

    The grounds are beautiful but would not come back.

    Lovely Resort

    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.

    Great Lake Site with W/E

    Right 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.

    The oeners are rude inconsiderate twisted people.

    After 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.

    Family fun!!

    We 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.
