3 sites ¡ RVs, Tents9 acres ¡ Bovey, MN
9 acres on a private lake in Northern MN. ATV trails close. Peace and quiet without the crowds in a campground. We have two dogs, a cat and chickens including a sunrise early crowing rooster who will get you up to start your adventures. Fishing galore on the 1000 lakes in our county. We have an old doc, canoeing and fishing right on our lake. Beautiful sunsets and the joy of being in the deep woods of Northern MN. Lots of fun things to do in Grand Rapids and Hibbing. This site is level on the driveway but not out on the grass. It is close to our house, but we are quiet and not around very much. You pretty much have the place to yourself. 30 amp is close to the house. Toilet, showers and three season porch can be arranged. A Generator will give you closer access to the lake but far from water and septic hook up. Septic is our home septic where you can empty or hook up if you choose to set up close to it.

We have a very serious and also, sad story, to tell you. This land was not so long ago, a Native American reservation. Members of the tribe were offered a new location and, nearly all, moved. However, an Elder, remained. Sadly, when that Elder died naturally, the land became federal property, and was sold to the owner prior to, us.Learn more about this land:As stated in instructions, the Bigfork River is approximately a mile away. The boat landing to it is in Bigfork, behind the bank, 6 miles south. American Falls is just a few miles to your North. As stated, delicious water is available behind the pizza restaurant in Bigfork, with a dumpsite as well.

Sunset Pines MN

71 sites ¡ LodgingBackus, MN
Mike and Loellen discovered Ruttger’s Camping Resort in the winter of 2005 while driving around the area and scanning websites for trailers. We bought a trailer on a seasonal site and have thoroughly enjoyed our summers here ever since! Our sons grew up on the lake, boating and fishing and exploring the area and we have developed a wonderful lake-family. We have watched Bill and Candy Ruttger build the resort into the beautiful property that it is today and feel privileged to have the opportunity to now share it with you. Under our new ownership and with a new name, Sunset Pines MN in January 2023, we are eager to carry on the legacy created by our friends and mentors. We welcome you to enjoy our piece of “Up North” Minnesota lake-life with your family and friends, and don’t forget to enjoy a sunset or two! Mike & Loellen
