We loved our stay here! The folks at the office were so helpful and friendly, the site was clean and well maintained, and being able to take out a kayak or canoe onto the lake at any time was a wonderful feature. We stayed at a tent site, which was very conveniently located by the bathroom/showers. Cabin o’ Pines was a wonderful place to stay while exploring northern Minnesota and Voyageurs national park. We were even able to watch the northern lights from the lake! I would absolutely stay here again in the future.

I found a perfect week of camping, solitude and fun resort options at Cabin O' Pines resort. I stayed in campsite #2, which had ample space for an evening campfire and a great view of the lake. The resort itself was very nice, clean, and the owners and staff were very friendly and helpful. Having a small store on site with a few groceries so I didn't even need to go to town was great! Kayaking from the sandy beach area on a lovely, sunny afternoon was perfect. Sunsets from the docks were beautiful! Very pet friendly.

Beautiful property. Each site is tucked in the trees, with space between the neighboring sites. Suitable for tent camping or RVs. We had a van, boat & tent. Drinking water spouts and toilets throughout the property were nice. Having access to showers was great! The place is clean and the host was very friendly. They allowed us to change sites after we got there. Says firewood included, but it’s whatever you collect from the woods or else you have to purchase logs.

I stopped for just a night while on a camping/road trip. It was a really nice place. Pretty clean (there were a ton of cig butts on the ground at my campsite, but it didn’t bother me). The trails were nice. I only walked a bit but it was really pretty. The toilet was really clean and well kept. It looked like a fun place to spend a few days.
