Chippewa National Forest

22 sites · RV, Tent

South Pike Bay Campground is another fabulous option when it comes to finding waterlogged adventure on Cass Lake.

The mixed hardwood forest provides ample shade and ambiance, but the real gems of this spot are the campsites right on the heavenly, sandy beach. It’s the sort of place that just begs for you to sit back, relax, and enjoy the finer things in life. Like a perfectly roasted s’more, or your buddy’s latest acoustic rendition of “Wonderwall” (for the 768th time, more or less.) If you absolutely need to get away from your getaway, a trailhead for the Migizi Bike Trail is right on site. The campground is also a portage point for the difficult Chippewa Headwaters Loop Canoe Route, a grueling yet beautiful 128-mile trip along the historic waterway. So if the guitar playing gets really great, at least you have an escape plan.

Sunset Pines 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

Velkommen to Norske Camp!

5 sites · RVs, Tents8 acres · Backus, MN

I bought this land near Pine River in August 2018. I wanted to have my own hunting land and something that was close to town and trails. A property that had a potential of multi-recreational use for people to enjoy while visiting. There are about 40 acres of county land surrounding three sides of the property. The main trail on my land goes thru the majority of the county land and loops back connecting to my main trail again.
