Weekend Trip to Cuyuna/Mississippi River Land

Site #3 is super pretty and secluded, right along the bank of the Mississippi. Nicely stacked firewood was very helpful for fires, especially with the rainy weekend we had. Hosts were friendly and had good communication in case we needed anything!

Weekend Trip to The Camps at the Vineyards

Great space with the river winding through the property. A lot of the sites feel like you’re completely alone because of the forest. I definitely plan to stay here again.

Weekend Trip to Harvest Loon Camp

Absolutely Beautiful!!! We rented the cabin for an Anniversary getaway. We loved the fact there was no TV and the only clock was on the stove. Had a fantastic stay and will definitely go again. Probably invite friends next time as there is plenty of room and beds.

2 nights at The Camps at the Vineyards

This place is located on a beautiful piece of land. The directions are clear and campsites are well marked. There is some road noise as mentioned in other posts but The river was the crowning glory of this site! I would definitely camp here again!

Weekend Trip to Harvest Loon Camp

We loved our stay at the cabin and hope to visit again

1 night at Moosehorn Campground

Quiet, remote camping spot. Matt and Mike were very welcoming. Will definitely be staying again!

Weekend Trip to Harvest Loon Camp

This place is a treasure. So many unique details, and it was bigger than expected. Comfortable beds, great lighting, and a huge bathroom. We will be back!

Weekend Trip to Harvest Loon Camp

The cabin is clean and cozy. The kitchen has everything you need - you don't need to bring any pans or cooking utensils. Important note: the description says that the bunk is a twin bunk. It is not. It is two full-sized beds (not queens), bunked one on top of the other. There is another bed in the other room which is a twin. The kitchen and bathroom have separate heating that was very warm. The main sleeping/living/dining room has baseboard heating and the wood stove, and that room was a little harder to get warm - bring warm blankets and sleeping clothes. It was very quiet, not many homes on the lake, and the cabin is far enough off the main road that we couldn't see or hear cars. We were able to find the cabin easily from the directions. We wished it was closer to hiking trails; like a lot of the state forests in that area it seemed that a lot of the trails are for ATVs or snowmobiles. But we will keep looking. We did get snow while we were there and got out on the lake in snowshoes which was wonderful.

3 nights at Harvest Loon Camp

Perfect combination of rustic cabin with luxurious creature comforts. We loved the main cabin for relaxing around the wood stove, but we also loved the luxurious modern bathroom. We will be back!

Weekend Trip to Harvest Loon Camp

Harvest Loon Camp is a very secluded cabin that was perfect to disconnect for a short weekend. It is a nice mix of a rustic atmosphere with some modern amenities. We even had some decent cell service. We spent of our time hiking the nearby trails and catching up on our reading. Our German Shepherd spent most of her time napping and keeping warm by the wood fire stove. Thank you for a great getaway!

Weekend Trip to Harvest Loon Camp

We had a great time here! We were really impressed by all of the upgrades that have been made, while still keeping the original charm of the cabin. The wood-burning stove in the main room was a highlight and a cozy way to keep warm all weekend. We will return next year, maybe to watch the leaves change. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Weekend Trip to Harvest Loon Camp

We fell in love with this place! Charming and perfect balance of rustic and modern touches. We loved spending time at the fire pit outside and also chatting around the wood stove inside. The kitchen is well equipped and the added bathroom is great too. We loved reading about the history and comparing the old photos to what it looks like now. We want to come back every season!!

Weekend Trip to RV There Yet Campground

We loved the spacious sites, very private. The pine trees are beautiful.

Weekend Trip to RV There Yet Campground

We loved camping on Allen’s land. We enjoyed how quiet and to yourself you are in this camp ground. We highly recommend this if you like outdoors and nature.

1 night at The Camps at the Vineyards

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.

The Point - On Gull Lake

3 sites · Tents1 acre · East Gull Lake, MN

The Point on Gull Lake – Rustic Lakeside Campsites on the Peninsula Camp right on the water at Gull Lake’s Golden Coast, where the sunsets are unmatched and the views stretch across the lake toward miles of unspoiled Minnesota state forest. Our two no-trace tent sites are located on a unique peninsula with lakefront to the north, wetlands to the south, a modern lakeside 4-plex to the east, and a quiet, upscale neighborhood to the west. It’s a scenic, semi-rustic setup perfect for laid-back lakeside camping—not deep woods, but definitely not your typical RV park either. These are primitive, pack-in/pack-out sites—no bathrooms or showers. Campers are expected to handle waste responsibly and use only eco-safe products when bathing in the lake. Amenities and Perks: 2 tent-only lakeside campsites Access to a laundry room Canoe, e-bike, and pontoon rentals available Fishing off the dock Nearby walking and biking trails Live music often drifts over from Ernie’s Bar & Grill, just three doors down 4-plex lakeside rentals available separately if you want to mix in some comfort Campfires are allowed (bring your own wood), and you're welcome to bring your canoe or kayak and pull it up on shore. Quiet hours begin at 11 PM, and we ask all guests to be mindful of our nearby residential neighbors. This is lakeside camping with personality—sunset views, great fishing, music on the breeze, and just enough comfort to make it easy to enjoy.
