Stories from the community

Weekend Trip to Cuyuna/Mississippi River Land

Excellent weekend! Bugs were minimal and fish bit decent right from camp. They definitely have been improving the road in, as we had no issues with cars and small suv's. We overly enjoyed our stay!

Weekend Trip to The Camps at the Vineyards

Enjoyed our time and the creek view, so peaceful and relaxing. Thanks Carl!

Weekend Trip to The Hamlet Lake Homestead

We had a wonderful time over the Memorial Day weekend at Eric’s property! Everything was as advertised. Eric and his family were amazing hosts and helped make our weekend special in multiple ways from greeting us as we arrived and providing us with activities while we were there. He went out of his way to ensure we had everything we needed. Our five kids loved the beach and lake activities, especially the kayaks and paddle boards, and playing with the animals. We also went biking on the nearby Cuyuna mountain bike trails and Crosby town trails, which were fantastic. We would love to come back again in the future.

Weekend Trip to Cuyuna/Mississippi River Land

We've stayed at this site before, so we knew we would have a great time! The trail back to site 3 is more overgrown than previous years, so be prepared for that. There was also garbage left from the previous campers, so we tried to clean up the site and leave it better for the next campers. We appreciate the views and seclusion that site 3 offers. Thanks for the great camping experience!

2 nights at Cuyuna/Mississippi River Land

We had a great time at this campsite. The hosts were super nice and the communication was great. It’s true that getting to the spot is a little difficult but while we were there it looked like they had started working on clearing the path more to make it easier to drive through. We did manage to get a van in and out but I don’t really recommend, we did it very very slowly. The spot itself is amazing, had a great time fishing in the Mississippi and walking to the nearby bar for supper and drinks. The bugs weren’t too bad yet as it was still in the 50s/60s for the most part, the fire kept them away. Had plenty of firewood for us to use too. We’ll definitely be back!

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.

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!

1 night at Velkommen to Norske Camp!

Cool camp, there are lots of extra amenities on site, paper towels, charcoal, lighter fluid etc. Nice fire pit with all the tools you could need to stole the fire and cook. The outhouse was clean and had sanitizer inside. It's directly next to the Paul Bunyan trail so that is a plus. The owner was helpful and and sent me info prior to my visit and was available if needed. There was also a cool black cat named Boo that hung out with me, it was an unexpected bonus.
