Stories from the community

1 night at O'Dalaigh Hideaway

Privately owned site, right on a gorgeous section of the Snake River.

Weekend Trip to The Wooded Retreat/breakfast/spa

The property was cute and maintained. There was firewood provided and the hosts seemed friendly.

Weekend Trip to Floodwood Municipal Campground

Great campground! New amenities and friendly people. The dock is really nice too. We paddles the river from up stream to our campsite. Well done City of Floodwood!

Weekend Trip to Floodwood Municipal Campground

It was a very pretty place to camp. My sister and I had a great time. The campsite host was very kind and even helped us start our fire!

3 nights at Hidden Pines

Beautiful and peaceful campground with friendly hosts and impeccable attention to detail. The campground turn-off is clearly marked and the campground has great signage to help you navigate the outhouse, firewood, parking area, and sites. I stayed at the only drive-up site, it was very spacious and private. I loved that firewood was available on-site as well as their little "general store" full of essentials incase you forget anything. The outhouse was clean and well maintained. The neighborhood is quiet and fairly remote, which I prefer and cell service was good (AT&T). I found lots of agates walking along the gravel roads in the area. Heard lots of wildlife at night: frogs, toads, coyotes, wolves and even saw a few deer while hiking. I enjoyed exploring their hiking trails each morning and immersing myself in nature. This was my first Hipcamp experience and I couldn't have had a better time! Aric & Beth were very responsive and accommodating hosts who work hard to maintain the campground and ensure their guests have a pleasant experience. I do plan on returning in the future and would recommend this spot to family/friends!

Weekend Trip to Floodwood Municipal Campground

Recently renovated, the Floodwood municipal campground seems to be a hidden gem, as many of the sites were empty and we practically had the place to ourselves.

Weekend Trip to Superior Beach Camp

We had a great stay. The space is well maintained. It felt very private and it was tidy when we got there. It has an easy access to the the lake. The beach is beautiful. We would stay here again.

Weekend Trip to Woods and Meadows Farm

An amazing experience all around! Ann’s property is amazing with many trails to meander through. The cabin is beautiful with a lot of attention to detail. There is even a photo album with the Cabin’s history to look through. It is obvious the land and space are well cared for. We stopped for a night on our way to Madeline Island, Wisconsin and it was the perfect halfway point. Ann is very kind and attentive. Even providing extras for our dog. Her dog, Daisy, joined us for the evening and checked in the next morning. Daisy was the cherry on the Sunday! We appreciated being given some farm fresh eggs to cook while camping! We will definitely be back.

1 night at Floodwood Municipal Campground

Cute campground nestled in the middle of town. Very clean. Very quiet. Recent upgrades visible.

2 nights at Superior Beach Camp

This campsite was such a treasure! It was a wide open space with a separate area for a lookout and a quick walk to the beach. There were bears in the area, however we were able to park our car next to us which eased our minds. It was beautiful, private, and peaceful. There was even firewood already cut for us. The outhouse located on site was in pristine condition. We had a wonderful time.

Weekend Trip to Hidden Pines

A perfect little camp site up north. (2 adults, 2 golden retrievers.) Nice amenities and very scenic. Although we didn’t need anything, the little shop had lots of items for sale if you forgot something. Yard games were available for free to use. Alternate route trails to sites was a nice touch. Signage was very clear and parking area was nicely mowed.

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 Floodwood Municipal Campground

This is a great little place to camp, very peaceful and right on the river. There is a nice fishing dock and some additional little trails to fish from shore. Camp sites are well maintained and required very little leveling for our 30ft camper. Bathroom/shower house was clean and well maintained as well. Oh and I almost forgot to mention it is super dog friendly!!! Look forward to camping here again!

Weekend Trip to KJ|eventyr

The hosts were very friendly and punctual with any need we had. Very clean and accommodating. Definitely would come back it’s very beautiful and peaceful.

Weekend Trip to SOL VIND - Lakeside Camping Retreat

There’s nothing bad to say about this place, we loved camping here! The campsites are fairly close together but you still have your own privacy which we loved. Even on memorial weekend, it was very quiet and relaxing. We will definitely be back when it’s warm enough to swim!!

Deb and her husband were great hosts- kind and accommodating. Their quiet property offered exactly what we were looking for on a night away from kids. We will be back for a longer stay in the future.

Weekend Trip to Superior Beach Camp

Weekend Trip to Woods and Meadows Farm

Ann is an absolute joy to be with and the site was phenomenal. Super quiet, super clean, nice and cozy cabin and she made great recommendations for local eats and things to do. Absolutely would come back, 10/10 host!!

5 nights at Woods and Meadows Farm

Raven Watch was the perfect place for our getaway! Beautiful cozy cabin, perfect spot in the woods, so convenient to many parks and attractions, and Ann was an incredible host, checking in with us about all the details and making sure we had what we needed! Thank you!

Weekend Trip to O'Dalaigh Hideaway

This is a great spot! The host has the best welcome message and directions I’ve ever gotten on Hipcamp, and made the site super easy to find. There is enough room for three or four vehicles to park. The outhouse is clean and cute, and there are multiple spots to put tents (at least three) out near the river. The river sounds are way louder than I expected, in a good way. The site feels medium privacy; you can see a house behind a couple of trees across the river, and the hosts cabin and neighbors house are within site too. Privacy is less than dispersed camping but way more than say the typical state park campsites. I met the host briefly too, he seems kind. I’ll absolutely come back

Balsam Ridge Retreat

8 sites · Lodging5 acres · Duluth, MN

Hello everyone! Thanks for your interest in Balsam Ridge! Many of you folks have been here and know how much we thouroughly enjoy hosting! Some of you also know that we've been caring for my 93 year old mom for the last two years here at our home. Over the winter we realized that as the days progress, so does the amount of care she needs. For this reason we've decided to put our retreat on pause, and give her our best for this last season of her life. We appreciate your understanding. Many folks that have visited our place refer to it as 'country living in the city'. We are so blessed to live in this little piece of serenity just inside the city limits of Duluth. It was once an abandoned house that sat for years, until a friend mentioned to us that it might be going up for sale. We loved the location and rolled up our sleeves. Twenty years later we still marvel at the beauty around us and can hardly believe that we LIVE here! Just down the road is a trout stream and just beyond that was a popular farm that attracted many folks to this neighborhood for hay rides and sleigh rides. The farm has since retired it's horses and closed it's doors to make room for new homes, but memories live on in the beauty of the open fields. I often imagine the sound of horses and sleigh bells and people singing carols and then warming up around a toasty fire sipping hot cocoa. Some of those memories live on right here at Balsam Ridge (minus the horses). Over the years many groups of folks have enjoyed a sense of community in these back woods no matter the season. Campfires, kids catching frogs, neighborhood campouts, snow picnics, hair-raising toboggan runs, family campouts, spiritual silent retreats, a take-your-breath-away giant swing, and some tales too daring to mention are all part of the fun. This is why we do what we do. We've been given much, and love to give back. It just wouldn't seem right to keep all this good to ourselves.

Superior Beach Camp

2 sites · RVs, Tents10 acres · South Range, WI

Escape to Superior Beach Camp and immerse yourself in the beauty and privacy of a cleared camping area situated above 500' feet of sand and pebble beach on the world’s greatest lake. Agate campsite is very generously sized and is all yours. Surrounded by a mix of poplar and birch with a few white pine sprinkled in, the main camp area is set back from the lake atop a 70' bluff with peekaboo views of Lake Superior. A short walk down a private path from your campsite gives you access to a beautiful Lake Superior beach to swim, skip rocks, search for agates, or just enjoy the panoramic views of the lake and the town of Duluth on the opposite shore. Agate campsite previously featured a "look out point" that has been altered by the natural erosion of the red clay banks that comprise much of Lake Superior's south shore. While you can still access this area, doing so will require more effort and care, and we no longer allow camping on the point. Superior Beach Camp located is 2.5 hours north of the Twin Cities and perfectly positions you to discover all the wonders of the Twin Ports. Explore this amazing area or stay at camp, set up your chair in the sand and take in the many moods of Mother Superior. Watch the ships come and go to the sparkly backdrop of Duluth’s city lights. The crackle of a driftwood fire on the beach provides the perfect soundtrack as you watch for shooting stars and the aurora. Stock up on supplies and explore the charming industrial town of Superior, WI – 15 minutes from your campsite. Spend a day mountain biking the Duluth Traverse and touring the the wonderful local dining and tap room scenes of Duluth and Superior. Canal Park, downtown Duluth, is a 25 minute drive. If you’d like to venture further, you could meander up the North Shore. Or keep it local and check out Bayfield and the Apostle Islands – only 75 minutes East. Stop through the charming lakeside village of Cornucopia on your way. Or perhaps you’d like to experience world class trout fishing on the Brule River a half hour from Superior Beach Camp. Maybe Parks are your thing: Amnicon Falls, one of Wisconsin’s most beautiful State Parks, is reachable in 10 minutes by car. Drive a half hour further to Pattison State Park and take in Wisconsin’s tallest waterfall. On the Minnesota side, the magic of Jay Cooke State Park is 30 minutes west (and puts you on the doorstep of legit white water rafting). Whether you're looking for solace and relaxation in a blissful [great] lakeside setting or simply seeking a convenient place to rest your head while exploring the many adventures a stone’s throw from your campsite, there is something for everyone who camps here. Superior Beach Camp is a clean, quiet, peaceful, primitive setting. We appreciate that our campers help us keep it this way; remember to pack in any supplies or provisions you need, and leave no trace when you depart so our next guests can enjoy a clean campsite.

O'Dalaigh Hideaway

1 site · Tent2 acres · Pine City, MN

Note: Address is NOT 31128 Riverside Drive, Pine City as shown on Hipcamp. It is located right next to 31128 River Bend Drive, Pine City. Hipcamp will not allow me to put correct address there. The property is on a vacant lot next to our cabin lot on the Snake River East of Pine City MN. This lot has the better river view and experience as its a small peninsula that juts out to the river with rapids. There is a swimming area right next to the campsite or feel free to jump into the rapids if you want a rush. River is not deep most of the year and there is fishing right there as well, mostly large and small mouth bass. There is parking off the road and a short walk to the campsite, just follow the sounds of the river. A small wagon is provided to help with getting gear down to the river tent site. New this year (2025) is a composting toilet along the trail to the tent site. It uses a "separator" where #1 goes back to the earth (as it is sterile and liquid) and #2 goes into a bucket and is covered with wood chips. There is also a standing urinal for men if desired. If you would prefer to use a pit toilet there is one on the property with directions marked with a sign. It is a farther walk however, about 100 yards from the tent site and on the cabin property near the driveway. If you want something even more convenient, feel free to bring your own. Firewood is available for sale onsite or feel free to clean up dead wood lying along the trail at no cost, note that it is more than likely freshly cut and wet but will burn if the fire is hot enough. The tent site is right next to rapids on the Snake river. If you struggle sleeping to the sound of rushing water, this may not be for you!
