"Camp ground right on a large lake, family owned and well maintained."
"Fishing on Pelican lake is great. The fishing dock is accessible ( I rode my mobility scooter out there with no difficulty) and they have boats available so you can get out on the. lake."
"Everyone says stay at Woodenfrog or Ash because it’s close to the park but those parks are very primitive."
$45 - $77 / night
"A really nice place with lots of fun stuff do to right in the campground including a beach and boat ramp on Pelican Lake. There is a nice playground area for kids."
$18 - $30 / night
"This is my favorite campground in all of Minnesota. Located outside of Orr close to 20 miles, there are no people or towns to make noise or light. The stars are incredibly bright at night."

"We love to drive around, aimlessly, enjoy the scenery and then find a place to plop for the night. "

"The Pines Of Kabetogama, Minnesota.
After Itasca SP we headed North to check out Voyagers National Park & the area."

"They were clean and the chipmunks were our pets for the weekend. The docks are convenient for your boats or pontoons. The fishing is phenomenal and beautiful!"
"Minnesota does a nice job with their state parks. The campsites are varied in types, sizes and layouts. Ours works great for our 26’ travel trailer and truck, and includes electrical."
$18 / night
"It's pretty amazing to wake up right next to the lake.
There are about a dozen sites here. Some are reservable, but most are first-come first-serve. Camp sites have a table and fire ring with grate."
"Our site did not have direct clear access to the water, but we walked past other sites that did. Boat launch available right at the entrance to the campground."
GuideThis is my favorite campground in all of Minnesota. Located outside of Orr close to 20 miles, there are no people or towns to make noise or light. The stars are incredibly bright at night. Plenty of hiking trails and great for fishing walleye.
LegendWe love to drive around, aimlessly, enjoy the scenery and then find a place to plop for the night. Our preference is generally State Forest type of places that are self check in, less than $20 and quiet. Oh yes, and pet friendly.
We were pulling our teardrop on this trip, since it gets cold in MN earlier than southern areas. This campground does not have electric, but it wasn't too cold so we were just fine. Upon pulling in, the place appears huge! Most State Forest campgrounds are small-ish, but this one has 60 spaces! Two are ADA accessible, the rest are split between two "loops". The lower seemed quieter, and the upper had more RVs. Many are lakeside, and there is a hiking trail that runs around the camp on the outskirts that's up and down over rocks and terrain...lovely with the dogs! A small dock provided a jumping off spot for a quick rinse in the lake (dogs too!).
The campsite was tucked in the trees with all the things you expect. Fire ring, picnic table, etc, and many of the sites (this one too) were so tucked in the trees it was hard to see neighbors. Lots of space, not too close together! We visited in September. Water spigots scattered for drinking water, self check in, easy access.
ScoutCampground was amazing, plenty of room, plenty shade, pet friendly, just too many of that other Minnesota state bird called the mosquito. $14 a day is great, first come first served. Only 4 stars due to the unbelievable amount of mosquitoes, was eaten alive!
TravelerWe loved this campground, It is beside the Boondocks Bar and Grill and is owned by the same people. Dez and Kirk were the consummate hosts, friendly and so nice, we could not have asked for better. We cold called them last minute in late April, most of the other campgrounds were not open for the season, but they welcomed us, which saved our butts because we literally would have had to drive hours and completely redo our itinerary. The Bar and Grill is next door and has great food, awesome drinks, friendly locals and bingo on Thursday nights. The campground is easily accessible and the sites are not difficulty to back into, all were graveled and we had minimal leveling, even with the water and mud. I think there are at least 1 or 2 pull throughs but due to the snow and standing water we parked in site #2. They have 30 and 50 amp, potable water (wasn't on throughout the park when we were there due to the weather) and a dump site at the exit. They are pet friendly and there are areas for walking leashed pets behind the park. It is conveniently right off the highway and we did not even notice any traffic noises in the evening. International Falls is approx 20 minutes away, with shopping, laundromat and the Canadian Border. Voyageurs NP, Rainy Lake Visitor Center is approx 30 min. This is now our go to campground when we visit Voyageurs NP.
ScoutThis is one of the most beautiful and peaceful campgrounds in Northern Minnesota. This is my go to campground when I need to be nestled into nature. The campsites are well kept and there is a general store for all your needs about 5 minutes away. The northern night sky is breath taking especially when the northern lights are dancing. Woodenfrog is a pet friendly campground. Highly recommend camping here. Rates are about $14 a night
TravelerGrew up camping here. Its beautiful with water and trees everywhere. Pet friendly, close to town, clean showers, friendly staff. The only bad thing is no water hook ups.
GuideGETTING UP TO THE CLIFF: reviews talk about how nice it is that they greet you and show you to your site in a golf cart. This is because there’s one giant hill to go in or out and they’re mitigating problems.
LOCATION: if your intent is spend all day on the lake boating, fishing and swimming - then return to your camper to eat and spend time with your family, then this place is great. If you desire any other activities that are not lake related (local attractions, breweries, dog parks, hikes) then this place feels a little isolated.
VALUE: If you don’t get the preferred lake view spots, staying on the Cliffside is not worth it. While you can see the lake (through other spots) there are very few trees and some of the fire pits are right on the road. It’s a cliff top parking lot. Maybe if we stayed in the Standard Lake Level RV Site with the docks and grassy area it would’ve been better.
BATHROOMS: A lot of people rave about the bathrooms. Maybe this is for the cabins? The cliffside bathrooms are a trailer restroom, so they’re just like the ones in your camper. Small and easily clogged. The restrooms on lake level have regular toilets but the showers are just as small. Don’t try to bend over.
STAFF: the staff are super nice and help with everything.
LegendOur Family stayed at Headquarters RV Park in Buyck (just outside of Orr, MN) for 4 days over the Memorial Day weekend, and we were so impressed!! This is a new, family owned and operated park situated on 30 acres of beautiful pines. The hosts Brad and Koreen are so welcoming, and have put their hearts into making this Park a refuge from the hustle and busle of our hetic work week.
The one thing we appreciated the most is how close they are to Crane Lake, Namakan Lake, Voyageurs National Park, and the Superior National Forest. We spent our time fishing and checking out visitor destinations like the I. W. Stevens Resort (a historical jem!!) After a long day of fun it was so nice to sit out in the screen tent listening to the ruffled grouse drum and the peace and quiet of nature. There are only 13 spacious sites in this park with plenty of room to fit your RV, boat or 4 wheelers and trailer, screen tent with plenty of room to spare, and beautiful pines between you and your neighbor for privacy.
When you arrive you will find your site ready with a picnic table and fire pit. The full service hook ups are easy to access, and make set up a breeze!! They offer 20, 30, and 50 amp service, and make note that they also offer a potable water station too. Firewood is available for purchase, but don’t be surprised if the Sokoloski’s invite you to their host site for a campfire:) The walking paths are beautiful too!! We brought our dog Max, and he loved it too!! We’ll be back for sure!!
ScoutNothing says Minnesota like the call of the Loon and that’s what greeted me upon arrival at my site! This site is lovely—water and easy to access to water sports on either Sturgeon or Side Lake. Some road noise but not too bad. I am imagine it’s much more hectic in the summer with the big beach across the road. Great for kids! Easy trails for walking and dog friendly. Can be buggy but that’s MN. For more rustic, head further up to Beatrice Lake Campground.
