Best Cabin Camping near St. Bonifacius, MN

261 Reviews

Several campgrounds within a short drive of St. Bonifacius, Minnesota provide furnished cabin rentals with varying amenities. Lake Maria State Park Campground in Monticello offers three camper cabins situated on lakes, each equipped with bunk beds that sleep up to six people. The cabins feature queen-sized bottom bunks with twin-sized top bunks, solar lighting, and screened windows. Baker Park Reserve in Medina provides camper cabins with electric heating but no air conditioning, making them most comfortable during spring and fall months. According to one visitor, "The cabin itself is very cozy. Two bunks with queen on the bottom and twin on the top to sleep six total. Everything is sealed up nice and tight too, so no bugs in the cabin unless you tear the screens or leave the door open."

Rustic and deluxe cabin options are available throughout the region, with most requiring advance reservations. Minneapolis Northwest KOA in Maple Grove and Minneapolis Southwest KOA in Jordan both offer pet-friendly cabin rentals with varying levels of amenities. Afton State Park Campground features camper cabins with screened porches and electric heating, while Whitetail Woods Camper Cabins provide contactless entry via door codes. Most cabins have limited or no cooking facilities indoors, with one reviewer noting, "There is no cooking inside the cabin so you have to use the fire ring outside." Booking well in advance is essential, particularly for weekend stays during peak season, as many locations report full bookings up to 120 days ahead.

Most cabin rentals include beds with mattresses but require guests to bring their own bedding, pillows, and towels. Kitchen supplies vary significantly between locations, with some cabins permitting slow cookers and coffee makers while others restrict all indoor cooking. Firewood is typically available for purchase at campground offices, with prices ranging from $5.50 to $7.00 per bundle. Bathroom facilities are generally centralized rather than in-cabin, with most parks offering shower buildings within walking distance. Visitors should pack flashlights or lanterns, as cabin lighting can be limited, especially in more remote locations. Basic groceries and camping supplies can be found at campground stores or in nearby towns, though selection is often limited to essentials.

    Whitetail Woods Camper Cabins

    Great camper cabins for spring and fall

    Each cabin has four sleeping spots: 2 bunk beds, and the 2 couches convert to beds. There's a heater inside, but no AC, which makes these the most suitable during the spring and fall.

    There is a fire ring outside of each cabin, along with a table. No cooking is allowed inside the cabins, which can make things rough if the weather isn't cooperating. 

    We enjoy hiking around the trails, but we primarily go to decompress, lounge around, and play games, read, etc. There's WiFi available, but depending on which cabin you reserve signal will be took weak for real usage. Same for mobile data -- don't plan on cell service here.

    The bathroom facilities are nice. Outside water is shut off during some parts of the year, so bring your own drinking water if you are camping close to/during winter.

    Cabins are accessible for those who need special assistance, which is nice. The only caveat is I don't recall there being an automatic door opener to the cabins.

    While the cabins are close together, noise is not a factor once you're inside. 

    It's difficult to get reservations, so I recommend trying to start booking 120 days in advance, which is the farthest out you can reserve. For example, as of this review (early June), all weekends are booked for all cabins.

    Whitetail Woods Camper Cabins

    Great Cold Weather Option

    Super simple camping cabins. They each have 4 spots and have contactless entry as you get sent a code to use. There is no cooking inside the cabin so you have to use the fire ring outside. Shower facilities are really nice and match the cabins. Plan ahead as these are hard to come by.

    Top Shelf

    Beautiful, spacious, trees but open. Nice trails, clean restrooms, level sites. No alcohol allowed and no pets! Fire rings, sturdy picnic table. Electric and water.

    I made reservations online and when we arrived they said I had reserved a place at Elmo Lake which was 20 miles away. Same 2 county facilities but different campgrounds. Oops my bad. Different addresses!

    Ham Lake Resort

    Well Rounded RV Park and Campground

    My partner and I scheduled a 3 day / 2 night stay in a new Vintage Cruiser RV for $39.99, in exchange for attending a presentation on private membership.

    We checked in Wednesday evening, and the nicest staff I've ever met helped us acclimate to RV living. We are new to this game. They patiently described how to utilize the grey and black water tanks, as well as encouraged us to check-out the canoes, row boats, bikes, horseshoes, ladder golf and many other entertainment items - for FREE!

    The map provided was accurate which made locating the cruiser a breeze. There were further instructions inside as well. The RV was immaculate. Provided for our use were all linens (a public very clean bath and shower was just across the road), dish soap, dish towels, paper towels, flat wear, plates, bowls, mugs and pans.

    The campground has a couple of ponds, as well as access to Ham Lake where the watercraft is launched. There is a petting arena with goats, ponies, and a llama who gave my partner the stink eye, but fell in love with me rubbing the fence and giving me all googly eyes!

    The clubhouse sells bundled wood, ice, snacks, cold drinks, ice cream and provides 24-hour fresh coffee. There is also a small resupply area, and gift shop.

    There are pull-through sites, back ups, 50 and 30 amp hook ups, and tent sites, covered pavilions, picnic tables and fire pits.

    The campground itself seems remote, secluded and peaceful, however, you are conveniently located to two well-stocked convenience stores, as well as Wal-Mart about 15 minutes away. It's also only about 45 minutes from the Minnesota Twin Cities.

    One note: We visited in August and needed gallons of bug spray.

    We very much enjoyed our get away!

    Baker Campground - Baker Park Reserve

    Great First Time w/Travel Trailer

    Clean gravel sites with electric hook up surrounded by well maintained grass, picnic table, and fire pit. Central water spigot and dump station. Great signage throughout. Showers and restrooms available. A couple disc golf baskets, sand volleyball court and well maintained grass fields were available for play. Lake independence is a 5-10 minute walk along a newly paved trail. Lake offers two swimming beaches, a water equipment rental area, new restroom facilities, and a playground that was under construction at this time. Simple online reservation process at $26/night our one night total cost $36.03 all fees included. Morning of our reservation, camp staff called to communicate a change of site due to our reserved site having issues with its electrical. All amenities functioned appropriately. My wife, two young boys, and I had a great first time experience with our Bambi 19CB Airstream!

    Afton State Park Campground

    Hiking and Yurting

    I have stayed multiple times in the hike in camp sites and also in the yurt! The hike in sites were beautiful with a view looking over the St. Croix River. It was a shaded site perfect for our hammocks, it was quiet and very secluded. The Yurt was very cool! Very comfortable beds and plenty of space for the 6 of us to stay and sleep. The fire pit and picnic table wasn't far from the yurt which made it nice to not have to walk too far since we camped in the winter. I highly suggest the expeeience of the yurt!

    Whitetail Woods Camper Cabins

    Cozy

    The cabins in the woods are great in winter with snow on the pine trees. I would probably prefer the prairie cabins in the summer, especially with mosquitoes. The prairie cabins have significantly less privacy though with trails on either side that have good views into the heavily windowed cabins.

    The cabins are well-built and heated. The wooded cabins have what seems like full-sized mattress bunk beds built into the wall. Each bunk has its own reading light. The storage in this place is amazing. Storage under the bed, one counter with ample storage under it, and even the windows are so deep that I was able to store most of my food on the sill.

    The biggest downside is the middle-of-the-night trek to the bathroom. The bathroom is heated and open year round. There are two year round showers as well, but don’t plan on a long shower to unwind unless you like cold water. There was maybe 2 minutes of hot water. Basically enough to wash your body quickly, it was easy enough to avoid getting my hair wet. The shower room is also set to a cool 58 degrees in the winter. I do suspect that the floors are slightly heated though. You will need to dart across to the bathroom to blow dry your hair if you’re washing it in the winter. 

    You can use a slow cooker and a coffee pot in the cabin. Otherwise you can cook over the fire as well. They have potable water in the bathroom for washing your dishes in the cabin with.

    Close enough to town if you need something, far enough away for peace and quiet.

    Lake Maria State Park Campground

    Beautiful and Relaxing

    Really enjoyed the short hike to our campsite, BP7. There is a bathroom and water station before you head out which is awesome! The campsite was secluded and absolutely beautiful. Definitely will be going back again!

    Campsite included: 2 tent pads, a few areas to hammock, fire ring w/large grill, small bench, picnic table, bear box and latrine.

    I don’t think I would change a thing about the campsite.

Guide to St. Bonifacius

Cabin camping near St. Bonifacius, Minnesota ranges from forested sites to prairie settings, with most locations within a 30-mile radius. The region sits at approximately 950 feet elevation in the western Twin Cities metro area, where summer temperatures typically range from 65-85°F with high humidity. Mosquitoes are most active from June through August, particularly in wooded campsites near water.

What to do

Biking trail access: Baker Park Reserve offers extensive paved trails that connect to regional systems. "There is a nice 6+mile biking trail that connects to others, so bring the bikes," notes one visitor to Baker Campground.

Lake activities: Many campers enjoy water recreation on nearby lakes. At Lake Maria State Park Campground, site B6 offers "a short walk to the lake itself, where you can sit on a log and watch wood ducks paddle past and listen to the frogs in full chorus at night."

Winter exploration: Several parks maintain trails for winter activities. One camper mentions, "I would like to come back to this park in late fall and try out a camper cabin," showing that Lake Maria State Park remains accessible during colder months.

What campers like

Privacy levels: Sites vary significantly in seclusion. At Afton State Park Campground, "The terrain is just hilly enough - and in August - the grass long enough to give the sites a sense of privacy and seclusion."

Natural diversity: The region offers varied landscapes. "Prairie, forest, river, it's got it all," reports one Afton State Park visitor, highlighting the ecological variety available at a single location.

Bathroom facilities: Clean restrooms are frequently mentioned in reviews. At Bunker Hills Regional Park, campers appreciate that "The bathrooms were nice and clean. The only down fall was there was no trash cans in the campground only with you were leaving the campground."

Screened porches: Some cabins offer bug-free outdoor space. One visitor to Afton State Park described their camper cabin as having a "Screened in porch, heated with electricity, and two double bunk beds!"

What you should know

Hike-in requirements: Several cabin locations require walking to reach sites. At Afton State Park, "The hike to the campground is short and grueling," and sites "do require a hike from parking. Would strongly discourage big coolers or lots of weight."

Firewood specifications: Some parks provide non-standard firewood. One camper noted that at Afton, "They do have firewood available however it is long slab wood, so you do need to cut it yourself. Hand hacksaws are provided, but we're not great quality which made cutting the wood difficult."

Seasonal water access: Water availability varies by season. A visitor to Afton State Park warned, "None of the water faucets or water pumps on the trails at Afton State Park are working. The good news is you can fill up on cold drinking water at the visitor center."

Site spacing: RV locations often have minimal separation. At Minneapolis Southwest KOA, "Campsites are all cramped together with zero privacy," and another visitor noted sites were "packed like sardines."

Tips for camping with families

Water park proximity: Some campgrounds offer swimming facilities nearby. Bunker Hills Regional Park features "a large water park and wave pool" within walking distance of camping areas, making it convenient for families with children.

Playground access: Multiple locations feature play equipment. At Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park, "There is a gorgeous beach area with tables, a pavilion, changing rooms and a well equipped playground."

Bug management: Insect protection is essential during summer months. One Lake Maria visitor reported, "The black flies were dive bombing the car like a scene from Armageddon," recommending families "Pack light and bring permethrin-treated clothes during bug season."

Late check-in options: Some parks accommodate evening arrivals. According to a visitor at Baker Park, "The camp staff are very friendly and you'll need to get checked in before 9pm I believe because they close it off to paid guests after that."

Tips from RVers

Site leveling challenges: Many campgrounds have uneven terrain. One camper at Minneapolis Southwest KOA reported that "The site was very unlevel and the water Spicket didn't really work very well."

Road conditions: Internal campground roads vary in quality. At Minneapolis Southwest KOA, visitors encountered "gravel roads that were poorly maintained" with "trucks parked sticking out into the road making it difficult to get around."

Hookup reliability: Electrical service can be inconsistent at some locations. One visitor to Bunker Hills noted they "Lost power a couple hours twice because of branches falling from trees."
