Stories from the community

Weekend Trip to Welle's Campsite

This was a great place to stay for a quiet, peaceful camping experience. We loved the use of the fire pit, the wood Eric allowed us to use and the bbq grate we used. This place was clean and well manicured. We have been camping for a month and this was our most private spot!

Weekend Trip to Mikko Kamp on the 4th Crow

Great spot near Nevis. Definitely returning for another visit!

2 nights at Safe And Sound In Nevis, MN

The cabin was wonderful . The lake and the doc are majestic at sunset. My tweens loved sleeping in the loft and making smores by the fire pit ! Deb is a great host invited us downtown to an event she hosts that benefits the animal shelter ! A real swell time with swell hosts !

3 nights at Wise Woods on Fool Lake

This is a wonderful location, quiet and peaceful.

2 nights at Tamarack Ponds

This site was great! Very peaceful and relaxing. It is well maintained and everything was as advertised. It is especially helpful to have firewood included. It is good, quality wood and is located close to the site. I highly recommend this site!

3 nights at Hay Lake Basecamp Canvas Tent

We had a wonderful relaxing time. The view was beautiful and we loved hearing the lake sounds at night.

2 nights at Paul’s Lakeside Cottage

Paul’s cabin is nice and simple. Beautiful land and lake access. We saw loons, herons and heard lots of other birds each evening and morning. The cabin had the essentials we needed and Paul was very hospitable.

Weekend Trip to Harvest Loon Camp

I visited Harvest Loon Camp on a girls getaway late spring and knew immediately I needed to book it for a family weekend in the summer. We had a wonderful time for both visits! My kids are little (2 & 4) and loved the sandy beach and swim area. The fire pit area is well kept and we loved eating our meals in the screened in porch. It's the area is private and wildlife is abundant. We would've loved to have caught some fish off the dock but they weren't biting during our stay.

Weekend Trip to Wise Woods on Fool Lake

What a great piece of lake property to camp! After a short drive up a wooded path you are greeted by a lovely piece of wooded lake heaven with open vista to the lake. The property has an elevated area where we put our Chalet and two tents. This is where the outhouse is located as well. The property has a partial "road" down to the lake where you can tell some people may have driven. Not steep however. There is a flat area by the lake where a fun two person swinging bench is located and large fire pit. Fools Lake is clean and clear for swimming and kaying, my favs. We were in the lake all the time. I enjoyed the ease of steps into the lake. There is a sandy bottom with some rocks (wear your water shoes) but so easy to lauch your canoe or kayaks. There is a large dock as well. This property is well hiden for privacy. Quiet. Beautiful. We will return.

This was my third time here and first time in the summer and it is GORGEOUS!!!! Would recommend to all.

Weekend Trip to The Black Loon

Paul’s set up makes camping a breeze. Plenty of seating, beautiful fire pit with free firewood available, porta potty, some shelter for evening hanging or protection from rain and nice tent pads. It stormed a lot the night I was camping and the tent pads drained nicely and did not pool water around my tent. The site is very easy to get to from the main road. Enjoy!

2 nights at Paul’s Lakeside Cottage

Loved our time at Paul and Piper's. Their hospitality is fantastic. Plenty of room for our dog to stretch her legs. Cabin is also close to the NCT for hiking which was our focus. Wish we would've had more time - would have loved to take a sunset cruise around the lake with Paul and Piper. We hope to be back!

3 nights at Welle's Campsite

Great experience all around! This was our first Hip Camp adventure and it has us looking for more opportunities. Larry gave us a warm welcome so it was inviting from the start. It’s a beautiful property and the campsite was delightful. We were visited by deer, a big old raccoon, a wide variety of birds and a half dozen cows from a neighboring farm. If you are an early riser, you hear a rooster crow from across a huge field. Our 4 little city dogs had a blast. We are grateful to this Hip Camp host for sharing a very special place. Highly recommended!!! K & L

2 nights at Harvest Loon Camp

We had a great stay here will definitely be back, great Location great amenities. Beautiful place well stocked on everything you could need.

Weekend Trip to East Lake Ranch

Hosts truly want you to experience and enjoy the features of their property! Both sites offer quick and easy access to the dock and provided kayaks, mowed walking path which has wonderful flower aroma and perfect view of the Eagle nest and a variety of butterflies. The animals were definitely a bonus, my daughter loved feeding the pigs! Meadow site doesn't have shade except down by the dock, but has views and open play space, where as the other site is more private and tree covered, but smaller area. All directions and descriptions given by owners were 💯 clear and accurate.

Weekend Trip to Safe And Sound In Nevis, MN

We had a wonderful stay at Debbie’s place! She was very responsive and made us feel welcome right away. One of the highlights was the relaxing pontoon ride she offered – such a peaceful way to enjoy the lake. The water was calm and the overall vibe was incredibly soothing, giving us the perfect chance to unwind. If you’re looking for a serene lakeside getaway with a warm and attentive host, we highly recommend Debbie’s land.

Weekend Trip to Harvest Loon Camp

We had a magical time celebrating our daughters 4th birthday at Harvest Loon. Two nights wasn't enough! A cozy cabin with just the right amount of amenities. This might have just have to become a tradition for our family 🤗

1 night at Cuyuna/Mississippi River Land

We had a great trip! The river access was fantastic and the site itself was lovely and well kept. Our 4wd vehicles had no problem getting back to the site, though as Leah mentioned a smaller vehicle would have struggled. Plenty of room for a couple of hammocks and a very large tent! Overall beautiful spot, we will definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to Hay Lake Basecamp Canvas Tent

Oh, you want a romantic, secluded getaway that feels like Mother Nature herself sprinkled a little extra magic on it? This place delivers. Leah and Josh created an absolute gem—think luxury meets wilderness without the Wi-Fi guilt trip. Let’s talk amenities: queen bed with fluffy blankets, games for when you’re feeling competitive, fairy lights for that romantic glow, clean water, an actually clean bathroom (a unicorn in the camping world), kayaks, a canoe, and firewood ready to go. But wait—there’s a dock for lounging like you're in a rom-com, and the local wildlife... Adorable. Curious frogs, chatty birds, and a mouse or two living their best forest-core lives. 🐭🛶✨ Honestly? 15/10. Don’t question it. Book it, show up, and try not to fall in love (with the place or your person… or both). 😏🔥🌿🛶

Weekend Trip to Cuyuna/Mississippi River Land

Site 2 was great ! Our Honda pilot AWD made the drive easily . Plenty of unsplit logs already cut up and stacked at the camp site ready for splitting and burning which was amazing ! Kayaks worked perfectly ! We will come back

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.
