Cooking facilities vary significantly between locations—some cabins prohibit indoor cooking entirely while others provide basic kitchen amenities like refrigerators, microwaves, and stovetops. Bathrooms are typically located in nearby facilities rather than within the cabins themselves. Campers should plan to bring their own cooking equipment, food supplies, and personal items. Firewood is available for purchase at many locations for use in the outdoor fire rings that accompany most cabin sites. A visitor noted, "The cabins are pretty basic with bunk beds and a small table with chairs. The cabin we stayed in was heated with base board heaters that you have control of the temperature."

      Mont du Lac Resort

      Winter camping was cozy in the cabin

      This was my first time at this location and we decided to do a cabin (package) so that we could stay and ski (well, they skied I snowshoed). The cabin was nicely located close to the slope but not in the way of the action.

      Cabin 1 was an RV Cabin (as they call it) which is sort of RV shaped but not on wheels.  Wooden cabin, 2 bedrooms and a loft with plenty of space for sleeping. It was carpeted with outlets and windows and lights .  We had three teenage boys up there and could easily have slept 2 to 3 more.  A mini kitchen with fridge, stove, pots, pans, dishes, soap and microwave as well as full bathroom with shower.  All linens provided. Ah yes - and it's heated/cooled too! Not with a wood stove, but an actual thermostat adjustable heater. Bedrooms have mini plug in ceramic type heaters for extra warmth.

      If you stay in a cabin or campsite (they are open in summer) you get a discount on lift tickets. During the summer, there is a lazy river, mini water slide type of platform and a summer tubing area that runs through the trees!

      While I can not speak for the actual campsites since they were snow covered, I can say that they do have them.

      Additionally, all sites have a fire ring, picnic table and the cabins have BBQ grills. Firewood available for purchase.

      Camper Cabins — Mille Lacs Kathio State Park

      Camper Cabin at Mille Lacs Kathio State Park

      Perfect 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.

      Camper Cabins — Mille Lacs Kathio State Park

      Beautiful cabins, excellent staff!

      I 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.

      • the cabins are kinda close together, but there's trees and shrubs between (although several fewer than there were earlier this week 😭) so it does kinda feel private. But the noise can travel (there were people two cabins down my first night and I did hear them just a little bit).
      • there's not much cell service. I heard Verizon does best. I had t mobile and depending on where I was standing I either got zero bars or occasionally up to 2bars (usually I didn't really get much though). That's kinda annoying especially during situations like the storm that happened (thankfully I was not harmed, my car wasn't harmed, and the cabin didn't get damaged from the tiny tree that fell right on it).

      Jay Cooke State Park Campground

      Winter cabin camping

      I love Jay Cooke year round! The tent camping is great, the park is amazing for hiking and geology study, and there are camper cabins that I have often stayed at as well. This was my first time staying in winter, the camper cabins are cozy and fully heated and really nice. People use them when coming here in winter for the terrific cross country skiing or snowshoeing. The cabins are very simple and have beds, table, heat, and electricity, but no water inside (water punps are nearby, so bring a bucket ir canteen) and no bathroom (but you can use the outhouse nearby, and the campground will have a new bath house by early summer, it is inder construction and almost finished!) . You can use the facilities at the visitor center during the day but they arent open in the evening and are a bit of a trek from the campground. But, it you want to camp in warmth and relative comfort, and want to explire this amazing state park, the camper cabins are a great way to go year round! You can reserve campsites too if you have an RV or dont mind winter camping

      The Views

      We have stayed in a camper cabin in the winter and RV site in the summer. We have explored so many trails on our snowshoes and cross country skis in the winter and have enjoyed many hikes and mountain bike rides in the summer months. The accommodations were well maintained with very clean campground area. The shower room is very new and the bathrooms were very clean. The cabins are pretty basic with bunk beds and a small table with chairs. The cabin we stayed in was heated with base board heaters that you have control of the temperature. We have also brought our canoe to explore the river and went fishing. There are so many trails to explore so we plan on camping here again and again!

      Jay Cooke State Park Campground

      Swinging Bridge and Lots of Hiking

      The main reason we wanted to come to this park was to hike the trails and experience the famous swinging bridge that takes you over the St. Louis River and the rushing rapids below and rocky gorge below. The park dates back to the early 1900’s and its historic character comes from the influence of the Civilian Conservation Corps who made improvements to the park in the 1930’s and 40’s. The park has an 82-site campground and LOTS of activities to keep adults and kids busy.

      The campground is what you would expect in a state park with tall trees, shady sites, lots of activities, and popular with families. Roads and sites are gravel and each site has a picnic table and fire pit. Some campsites are long and suited for large RV’s while others are more rustic tent sites and there are 5 cabins for rent. Twenty-one sites have electric hook-ups. If you are looking for more rustic, remote tent sites there are some hike-in sites. Four sites are located 1 to 4 miles from parking area where each site has picnic table, fire ring and latrine but water must be hauled in.  About half of the sites are reservable online with the others being first come, first served. What we liked was that this park was very well cared as sites and facilities were very clean. Tall trees provided nice shade and campsites were well-spaced so you didn’t feel like you were on top of your neighbor. 

      There is lots to do in this park and we were sorry we didn’t have more time to spend. Activities include hiking (over 50 miles of trails including a stretch of the North Country National Scenic Trail), 8 miles of biking trails, 30+ miles of cross-country ski trails, kayaking and fishing. The park offers hundreds of naturalist programs including nature walks, evening campfire talks, fishing programs, and geocaching.  Just a short drive north of the state park is Gordy’s High Hat which is a famous hamburger joint that has been around for years and still draws a massive crowd. There is a big enough parking lot to pull your RV into if you need to. Food was great and cheap!

      Even if you don’t camp in this park, I think it is well worth the $7/daily admission fee to spend a day enjoying all this place has to offer.

    Guide to Turner

    Cabins near Turner, Minnesota range from rustic single-room structures to more modern accommodations with air conditioning. The region sits within Minnesota's lake country at approximately 1,300 feet elevation, with spring and fall temperatures typically ranging from 40-65°F. Winter cabin camping options remain viable when temperatures drop below freezing, as many structures provide base heating systems.

    What to do

    Fishing access points: Sandy Lake COE Recreation Area provides excellent fishing opportunities with dedicated docks. "Great Lake to boat on and Zorbas on the lake is fun," notes one visitor to Sandy Lake COE Recreation Area.

    Continental divide hiking: The historic continental divide trail at Savanna Portage offers unique watershed views. "The hike to see the continental divide was really cool. We saw a fox and a deer which was cool. Then spent the evening canoeing one of the lakes listening to Loons," reports a camper from Savanna Portage.

    Winter activities: Several cabin locations maintain year-round access for cold-weather recreation. "Being in the park in winter for snowshoeing was beautiful and amazing!" says a visitor to Savanna Portage State Park Campground.

    What campers like

    Lakeside positioning: Cabins with water views provide both scenery and recreation access. "We were in spot 12 and it was right on the water. The spots are very small and no privacy between the sites but having a water view made up for it and you can park your boat on the dock in front of your spot," mentions a camper at Sandy Lake.

    Clean facilities: Most cabin areas maintain well-serviced bathroom facilities. "Showers and restrooms were super clean!" notes a visitor to Savanna Portage State Park.

    Direct trail access: Mountain biking enthusiasts appreciate cabins with immediate trail connections. "Close to both Crosby restaurants and bars and the incredible trails of Cuyuna Country. Lovely cabins for glamping with incredible views of Armour Mine 2," explains a camper at True North Basecamp.

    What you should know

    Seasonal bug considerations: Summer cabin stays require proper insect preparation. "There are a lot of bugs in the summer, so make sure to pack plenty of bug spray! Overall, it's a fantastic place for outdoor lovers looking for a quiet and rustic getaway," advises a visitor to Savanna Portage State Park.

    Site sizing variations: Cabin sites vary significantly in size and accommodation capacity. According to a camper at Jay Cooke State Park Campground, "The layout of most campsites is kind of tight. If you are camping with multiple tents it might be a good idea to get multiple sites OR just do your research to make sure that the tent pad measurements listed on the reservation site are going to be sufficient."

    Noise factors: Some cabin locations experience periodic noise disruption. "One of the only things that was obnoxious about this park is that there is a frequently used train track nearby - and the trains really lay on whistle. I slept with earplugs in because of this, but I was still woken up around 4 times that night," reports another Jay Cooke visitor.

    Tips for camping with families

    Swimming areas: Several cabin locations offer swimming access for children. "Loon lake has a nice little 'park' with a beach so that is great for families," mentions a visitor to Savanna Portage State Park.

    Playground access: Verify playground availability when booking. A camper at Banning State Park Campground notes, "This park boasts a waterfall, so that sold me. Picnic area pretty great, with little fire ring and picnic table areas separated decently."

    Activity kits: Some parks offer educational materials for children. "We enjoyed renting canoes for a bit in the afternoon and borrowed a kids activity kit," shares a Savanna Portage visitor.

    Tips from RVers

    Hookup variations: Cabin sites with RV accommodation offer varying levels of utility connections. "Most sites did not have enough space for your car, your tent, the fire ring, and a bug house. Our site would have had enough space for all of them had we chosen to move our picnic table into the car area," explains a Jay Cooke State Park visitor.

    Dump station locations: Not all cabin areas provide on-site sanitary dumps. "Dump station is not at the water spigot in the North Campground, but on the other end near the boat launch," notes a visitor to Sandy Lake COE Recreation Area.
