      Minnesota National RV Park

      Golf is the Thing Here

      As this was our second time here at Minnesota National, we had no problem finding the course or RV park. The RV navigation in our new Ford 450 was also spot on. When you turn in at the golf course, drive all the way to the club house/lodge parking lot and there’s a road to the right that takes you into the campground (CG). As you check-in online prior to arrival, you simply proceed to your camp site. As you turn down the short road to the CG, there’s a sign to help you identify your site location. We proceeded to back-in site 25 with full hook ups. The utilities are in the back of pad in this CG, so you may need 20+ feet of electric, sewer, or water cord/hose depending on your rig’s configuration. The sewer grade is a bit up hill. We got 3 bars LTE on Verizon and no CG WiFi. There is only a vault toilet/out house in the CG. We came here to golf for two weeks. The 18 hole course is quite challenging where the 9 hole Savannah is shorter and a little bit easier. The golf course restaurant has decent food and a good deal on draft beer during their Sunday to Thursday Happy Hours.There is not much more to do here except golf. McGregor is about 15 minutes away and is where we did laundry and got our groceries.

      Lake cabins and tent sites

      I'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.

      Minnesota National RV Park

      Great Campground for Golfers

      Our RV GPs took us to the golf course, but we called the info phone number, which was the golf course clubhouse, to find out exactly how to get to the campground(CG) area. We were told to take the main road into the clubhouse, and right at the clubhouse, there’s a road to the right with a sign that shows the CG and where the sites are situated. We went in that way, where our other travel partner went past the golf course entrance(on the left side of the road) and took the unmarked RV park entrance less than a 1/4 mile past on the left. Either way works fine. We had registered online so we could go straight to the CG and to site 25 with FHUs. We had no issues backing our 40’ Brinkley TH into the site and still had room to put our patio down and park our F-450. The only problem with site 25 is that the entrance to site 24 comes in at a weird angle right next to the entrance of site 25. If our truck was centered on site 25, someone coming into site 24 might clip our truck. The utilities are in the far back of the site. I needed about 20’ of sewer, electric, and water hose to reach my rig. We got our Starlink maneuvered around the trees to get a good north shot of the sky. The loop we were in had quite a few trees along with the first loop as you come into the CG from the clubhouse area. The 44-50 loop more towards the golf course had fewer trees to block satellite. We got 3 bars LTE on Verizon, and there was no CG WiFi. The water pressure is very good at 60+ psi, so suggest a reducer. The sites were gravel with a picnic table and a nice fire pit. There were three 5th wheels in our group, and we parked in adjacent sites and did not need to use levelers; all the sites here are FHUs, and the CG does not have a dump station. There was one outhouse in the CG, along with a dumpster. The clubhouse has a locker room and shower, but there is no CG information or rules we saw at the clubhouse about the CG or whether you can use the showers, and we did not ask. The workers at the pro shop could answer simple questions about the CG. There is no playground or lake to fish, just golf. We had no issues, so did not need any more info or help. Occasionally, a worker drove a golf cart around checking campsites, and when we stayed, there was no CG host. The registration email stated that they charge 10 dollars a day for each dog. During our 7-night stay, along with the four seasonal campers, only one other camper came in for 2 days. The 27-hole golf course was in good shape and fun to play. McGregor is about 15 minutes away and has grocery, gas, hardware store, and restaurants. We plan to come back to this CG sometime in the future.

      Minnesota National RV Park

      Excellent stay if you’re visiting Big Sandy or Minnewawa area - or if you love golf

      This is a relatively new (2016?) campground built right next to the Minnesota National Golf Course clubhouse, and in the corner surrounded by Savannah holes 8 and 9. It’s literally inside the golf course.

      Gravel pads, some a bit out of level. All 50 amp water and sewer. Some great options in here for group camping as there are several loops you could be placed in the have sites near one another.

      Our site (33) was tucked way back in the woods, had a nice bit of privacy.

      No bath house.

      The golf course is amazing - one of the nicer public courses in the state. I can see a lot of folks choosing this RV park as a golf vacation - we were here because we were spending two weeks with family on Big Sandy Lake, just ten minutes away.

      Don’t miss breakfast at the Palisade Cafe and dinner/beers at the Craft House - both are legit culinary experiences, not Sysco reheaters.

      With 50+ sites, park was full for the three days around July 4, but was under 50% the rest of the time. An under appreciated gem.

      Big Lake Shores & The Lounge

      Serenity

      We always stay in the cabin. It’s a remote paradise! The price is right. Refrigerator, microwave, queen bed along side a bunk; double on the bottom bunk and a twin up top. The neighborhood is welcoming.

      Cuyuna Country State Recreation Area Campground

      Stunning yurts and unbelievable clear lakes

      For someone who likes to do it all Cuyuna Country State Recreation Area is the place to be!!!

      From Rv Camping and tent camping to amazing secluded Yurts on a trout pond there are more than enough options to camp and stay.

      The campground itself isn’t anything to rave about, and is mostly open and pretty close together but the yurts, those are a different story!

      The yurts are set on a beautiful only mine pit that is stocked with all kinds of trout. The have a wood burning stove, bunk beds, table, chairs, bear locker, fire ring and picnic table. There is a pergola style shelter with a full roof for outdoor cooking.

      The view of the trout pond is absolutely stunning and fishing isn’t bad either if you know how to fish trout. There is a shop in town that will deliver kayaks and pick them up when you are done for a small fee, like 50$ for the day?

      The old mine pits around and in the park are pristine and literally crystal clear! You can see hundreds of feet down through crystal clear water making it an amazing place to canoe and kayak.

      If you are into mountain biking, this is definitely the park for you! Some of the best mountain biking red dirt trails are located in this recreation area! Shops in town rent bikes too! The views from the trails are breathtaking!

      Overall, one of my favorite places to hike, bike, camp and, paddle!

      Great campground right near town and World Class Biking

      A great little campground right near the town (easy to bike in for coffee or beer) but it feels like you're deep in the northwoods! Some sites are better than others in terms of privacy. The bathrooms were always clean. Situated right on a quarry with fun fishing and kayaking opportunities. Connects to the mountain bike trails too! They do charge for pets.

    Guide to Hill City

    Camping near Hill City, Minnesota offers access to numerous pristine mine pit lakes formed from former iron ore operations. Located within the Cuyuna Range, these lakes provide water clarity that makes them popular for fishing, paddling, and swimming during summer months. Winter temperatures often drop below freezing from November through March, making seasonal considerations important for planning your glamping near Hill City.

    What to do

    Mountain biking: Cuyuna Country State Recreation Area provides miles of dedicated single-track trails. "The mountain biking trails were in great shape and were great for all skill levels. The lake was super clear and the small beach was wonderful," notes one visitor at Cuyuna Country State Rec Area.

    Lake activities: The crystal-clear waters of former mine pits create unique swimming and fishing opportunities. "The lake is clean but dark with ore. Loons frequent. Turtle lake channels over to another lake. Makes a great boat or kayak trip," reports a camper at Camp Holiday Resort and Campground.

    Golf getaways: Several campgrounds cater to golf enthusiasts with on-site or nearby courses. "The 27-hole golf course was in good shape and fun to play. McGregor is about 15 minutes away and has grocery, gas, hardware store, and restaurants," shares a visitor at Minnesota National RV Park.

    What campers like

    Proximity to trails: Many campers choose sites specifically for direct trail access. "Loved the proximity of True North to both Crosby restaurants and bars and the incredible trails of Cuyuna Country," writes a reviewer at True North Basecamp.

    Water recreation options: The region's numerous lakes provide popular swimming and boating opportunities. "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," notes a camper at Camp Holiday Resort.

    Scenic views: Many sites offer waterfront locations with direct lake access. "We had site 4, lake side access. The site was amazing, with a dock to the lake. Has a picnic table with a lean to shelter, and a fire ring," reports a visitor at Camp Holiday Resort and Campground.

    What you should know

    Site privacy varies: Some campgrounds offer more secluded options than others. "I'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," shares a camper at True North Basecamp.

    Seasonal considerations: The area transforms with the seasons, offering different experiences year-round. "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," notes a visitor at True North Basecamp.

    Amenities differ significantly: From primitive sites to luxury glamping, options vary widely. "Clean bathrooms, nice people. Sites right on the lake and a little beach to sit at. Seems small but a lot of big rigs fit just fine," reports a reviewer at Sunset Pines Campground.

    Tips for camping with families

    Look for kid-friendly activities: Several campgrounds offer dedicated children's areas. "The kids loved the heated pool and tether ball! We all had a great time riding 4 wheelers on the Spider Lake trails a few miles away," shares a visitor at Sunset Pines Campground.

    Consider beach safety: Water depth can change quickly at some swimming areas. "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," notes a family staying at True North Basecamp.

    Seek out playgrounds: Some campgrounds feature multiple play areas. "We tent camped and appreciated the clean facilities, activities for kids to do, and close to great fishing lakes (Bay Lake & Borden Lake)," reports a family at Camp Holiday Resort and Campground.

    Tips from RVers

    Check site levelness: Several campgrounds have uneven sites requiring preparation. "Most of the lake side sites were pretty uneven, bring plenty of leveling blocks. That was really the only negative we had," advises an RVer at Camp Holiday Resort and Campground.

    Note utility locations: Hookup placement varies between campgrounds. "The utilities are in the far back of the site. I needed about 20' of sewer, electric, and water hose to reach my rig," shares an RVer at Minnesota National RV Park.

    Consider size limitations: Not all glamping near Hill City accommodates large rigs. "Gravel pads, some a bit out of level. All 50 amp water and sewer. Some great options in here for group camping as there are several loops you could be placed in that have sites near one another," notes a reviewer at Minnesota National RV Park.
