Into the woods

3 sites · RVs, Tents9 acres · Bovey, Itasca

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.

My friends' kids love camping in the pasture with the animals and when I saw an ad for Hipcamp, I thought maybe others would want the experience, too!Learn more about this land:Yoga with goats meets camping with alpacas!

Rat Root River Retreat

1 site · Tent100 acres · Kabetogama, Koochiching

The beautiful forest has been in our family for 90 years. My great grandfather farmed the land and raised 10 children on this land. He also worked in the pulp and paper mills in nearby International Falls. The original house is still there which is my grandfather's son and host of the property. A short distance down the road, my grandfather's brother had a farm and raised 13 children. Seeing the so many stars, witnessing the Northern lights, seeing wildlife in their natural habitat has provided joy to so many descendants that lived and visited this beautiful place. Our family would like to share the peace and tranquility that one feels when being a part of nature as our family has experienced for so many years. Learn more about this land:Breath the fresh air of one of the beautiful forests of Northern Minnesota. Examine wildlife, backpack 3 miles to breathtaking Lake Kabetogama or north into wild Canada. Pitch your tent anywhere to relax and get away from it all. Perfect for deer hunters, fishing, backpacking, snowshoeing or cross country skiing. Get off the grid to life with nature, view wildlife and experience the northern lights.
