1 night at Oak Park Nature Nook

Fantastic! We have been on the road camping for a month and a half, and Rick said this was his favorite site of all. No hookups, no road noise, just nature, and an amazing variety of birds, including at least one rare one (loggerhead shrike). So peaceful, and such gracious hosts. Left us some wood by the picnic table at the site. Would definitely come back and definitely recommend.

I enjoyed the camping area. The thunder and lightning show was quite an experience.

3 nights at SOL VIND - Lakeside Camping Retreat

This was such a cute and cozy spot! The cabin itself was SO cozy and relaxing, and we truly appreciated the AC on the 92-degree day! The hosts were great, and being so close to the beach was amazing. We enjoyed watching the sunsets and having a bonfire on the beach itself. It truly felt like something out of a movie. The other sites are quite close, so if you're looking for isolation, this isn't it; however, there is still a good amount of privacy, and the neighbors at the sites were friendly. I would absolutely recommend this stay and hope to come back someday. Thank you. :)

We loved this cabin! It was perfect for a family with kids. The weather wasn’t the greatest while we were there, but the beach space was so beautiful and calm. Plenty of space and privacy for a weekend at the beach. The shower and bathroom were very convenient. As well as the coffee machine, fridge, and microwave. Very well put together and homey. We’ll be going back 🧡

Weekend Trip to Crosby-Rabbit River Retreat

Great location for all things to do in the Cuyuna area. Peaceful and pretty area to camp. Dawn was great at communicating and helping us with the WiFi right away. Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Sunset Pines MN

This is a place that is perfect for families. We enjoyed reading quietly in our RV site and listening to the kids pal around and have the time of their lives. The manager was very friendly and really accommodating when we had to stay part of a day longer because our camper awning got stuck in the open position. The facilities including bathrooms are clean and well kept. And it's free to use the kayaks and canoe. They also have fishing boats for rent.

Absolutely loved the place such a beautiful area to camp and relax at! The hosts are super nice and friendly and are always a call away. We loved the all animals there, such a cool experience getting to meet the emu they had. Definitely a place I'd love to check out again. Would recommend for great family camping experience. Thank you guys for being amazing hosts!

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.

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.

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
