How we ended up in Knife Lake Township on 81 acres of forested land. We began looking for land in late fall of 1996. After several months of searching, we happened upon a tiny newspaper ad for 81 acres of land described as "Beautiful, secluded, mature hardwoods, tall pines w/creek & beaver pond, many gd bldg sites & great hunting". We toured the property, covered in almost two feet of snow, on a snowmobile in January 1997 and fell in love with it. We have been stewards of this piece of land for 25 years and are still enamored of its beauty and diversity. We are lulled to sleep by the sounds of owls and bullfrogs and the distant yipping of coyotes. Spring through fall we are often awakened by the rattling, honking of sandhill cranes and a wide variety of bird songs. Besides deer and lots of small critters, we've seen bear, bobcat, rafters of turkeys, quail, grouse, pheasant, owls, hawks and eagles. The sky, on a clear night, is breathtaking. We have always visualized sharing the land with others, so come and immerse yourself in this bountiful space.

Our Yurt

100%
(50)
Yurt · Sleeps 5
Do you remember seeing the night sky full of stars and so close it felt as if you could reach up and touch them? Ever catch a glimpse of an owl silently hunting in the trees or try to identify different bird songs?  In our busy lives, often surrounded by noisy traffic or lights everywhere blocking out the night sky, we often miss that sense of being part of nature that is all around us. Being here, immersed in nature, you'll likely feel your body slough off the tension that all the hustle and bustle have built up in you and re-connect yourself with the natural world and you will come alive again and be refreshed in ways you might never have imagined.  Our yurt, surrounded by evergreens,  is a 3 to 5 minute walk from the main house.  The camping area consists of a private Yurt furnished with a double memory foam mattress on a futon frame, and a seating area for two.  If you have a larger group and want to put up a tent in addition to renting the Yurt, please contact us. This private space is a  great place for a family camping event. (eg. Mom and Dad and little ones stay in the Yurt, the older kids pitch their own tent a few yards away) A fire ring, picnic table. and a screened patio tent are included.  A cookstove, and a solar shower bag, for quick cleanup, may be available to rent. Bring your own pillows and linens or sleeping bags.  While you are here, check out our orchard and vegetable gardens and take a stroll along our 20 acres of paths.

    Campers rave about the serene experience at Bob and Roxanne's campsite. The yurt and tipi accommodations are highlighted for their comfort and unique charm, offering a perfect blend of seclusion and natural beauty. Guests appreciate the warm hospitality of the hosts, who ensure a welcoming and well-maintained environment. While the site is praised for its tranquility and scenic surroundings, visitors should come prepared for the presence of mosquitoes during their stay.

    Would recommend staying at Bob and Roxanne’s! A beautiful area for camping. We had a perfect night under the stars and full moon enjoying a bonfire and sounds of nature around us (sandhill cranes, loons, owls, redstarts, and even some wolves howling during the night). The site was private and quite spacious. The flies and mosquitos were out in force during the day but they provided a mesh shelter that was nice to hang out in. The outhouse (very nice and clean) is a bit of a walk at night, but they provided potable water at our site so we were able to brush our teeth without walking to the outhouse. The yurt was sturdy and spacious and cooled down well for sleep. The town of Mora was only 12-15 mins from the property making it easy to access restaurants or grocery stores. Bob and Rox are very friendly and were very responsive to questions I had prior to arrival. We would definitely recommend this spot!

    The lush beauty and elegance of their property was very understated in the description! We loved our visit to the tipi, and would recommend the experience to other Hipcampers visiting the area. I wish we could have stayed another night or two!
