2 nights at Fish Lake Getaway

Great location, host was very courteous. Lots of privacy in the campsite.

Weekend Trip to O'Dalaigh Hideaway

Don’t let the smaller size of this Hipcamp fool you, this spot is awesome! We stayed right on the edge of the river, and the soothing sound of the flowing water made for the perfect backdrop all weekend long. It was incredibly quiet and serene; even though there are a couple of cabins nearby, we hardly knew they were there. It truly felt like we had our own little slice of nature to ourselves. The site was clean, easy to access, and offered just the right mix of comfort and wild. Whether you're looking to relax, fish, paddle, or just listen to the river with a cup of coffee in hand, this place delivers. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a peaceful escape. We’ll absolutely be back!

1 night at Superior Beach Camp

The beach is so beautiful. I had a wonderful time. I highly recommend it.

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. :)

1 night at O'Dalaigh Hideaway

Beautiful site next to the river ~~ we appreciated the available firewood, multiple options for tents, and the very classy outhouse!

2 nights at Superior Beach Camp

Me and my dogs had such a great time here. The spot is huge, you definitely don't need to worry about space. The beach is just a short little walk away. It felt totally private and secluded, I didn't see any other people during my 2 day stay. I would absolutely recommend and absolutely come back

4 nights at Floodwood Municipal Campground

The campground was clean and quiet. Scott (the campground host) came to greet us on arrival and was very friendly and welcoming. We had a strong storm Sunday night/ early Monday morning that woke us out of a dead sleep. Scott was up in his truck at 3:30 in the morning, in the middle of the storm moving branches from the road and checking on the campers. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back soon.

Weekend Trip to SOL VIND - Lakeside Camping Retreat

We stayed with Sarah and Scott for 2 nights in a 15ft travel trailer. Directions were good. You do have to back in from the road but we had no issues and got right in. I suggest walking the road before backing in. The weather was super hot, this is the perfect spot for escaping the heat and enjoying the lake. Our hosts were so friendly and incredibly kind to share their beautiful place. The campsites are close to each other ( we lucked out and had the place to ourselves) but you won’t spend much time at your spot. There is a beautiful clean beach, lots of seating, manicured lawn with plenty of shade. We saw lots of birds there and turtles too. Father Hennepin state park is a short drive away with easy hiking trails. The town of Isle also has 2 convenience stores. There is an outhouse only but Sarah has everything you need in there and it was nice and clean. We did go through a frightening storm, with incredible winds coming off the lake. So if you know it’s going to rain, SECURE everything just in case. We did not and regret that. We had a relaxing and fun weekend and will definitely be back.

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 The Wooded Retreat/breakfast/spa

We loved staying at this tiny retreat! It was so peaceful, cozy, and private. Super easy to relax and feel in-tune with the woodland, while still having all sorts of creature comforts. And even a nice spread for breakfast waiting in the fridge!

Weekend Trip to Hidden Pines

The campsite was roomy and even came with a very thoughtful bug torch to help keep the bugs away (of which there unfortunately was many, given the time of year). Plenty of space around the firepit, a nice picnic table to set up on, and multiple good spots to put a tent up with room for a much larger tent. The only downside is that it does face directly south, so during the day it is full sun!

Weekend Trip to Hidden Pines

Well maintained and cute campground. Aric & Beth were very kind and gracious hosts - woodshed had miscellaneous odds and ends for items you may forget to bring with you as well! We will be coming back :)

Weekend Trip to Floodwood Municipal Campground

The sites are spacious and well maintained. The campground is situated along a river and the view is nice.

Excellent site and friendly hosts. Five stars, would recommend

Weekend Trip to Amnicon Adventures & Retreats

We enjoyed our time, how private the camp sites were, the maintained trails, access to toilets and showers. Our kids want to go back for a week the next time (and there will be a next time) we go up. We also liked that we could find our own fire wood or go to the wood shed to get some.

1 night at The Wooded Retreat/breakfast/spa

The land,and stay were wonderful. Very hospitable and comfortable.

2 nights at Bundo's Cabin

Had a great time, the cabin is beautiful and cozy. Unfortunately she made me sleep on the couch but that's my fault, nothing to do with the cabin! Beautiful night view of the fireflies! Wish there was a washing bin, or maybe there was and we just didn't find it. Dog loved it also. Make sure to pack bug spray.

1 night at Superior Beach Camp

This camp site was amazing! We loved the open grass area for camping and the short walk to the beach. The private beach was a huge selling point- and it didn’t disappoint. It was perfect for our dogs! The owners were super communicative and had great instructions.

1 night at O'Dalaigh Hideaway

Super easy to navigate and very clean area! The private access to the river was really nice and scenic. Appreciated the clean bathroom as well! We enjoyed our stay and would return ◡̈

1 night at Pondside Clayworks

Pleasant setting, quiet and peaceful. We heard a train, not a big deal. Had a good night’s sleep after a long drive. And got to meet the dogs!

Spirits of the Forest

13 sites · Lodging81 acres · Mora, MN

How we ended up in Knife Lake Township on 81 acres of forested land. We began looking for land in late fall of 1996. After several months of searching, we happened upon a tiny newspaper ad for 81 acres of land described as "Beautiful, secluded, mature hardwoods, tall pines w/creek & beaver pond, many gd bldg sites & great hunting". We toured the property, covered in almost two feet of snow, on a snowmobile in January 1997 and fell in love with it. We have been stewards of this piece of land for 25 years and are still enamored of its beauty and diversity. We are lulled to sleep by the sounds of owls and bullfrogs and the distant yipping of coyotes. Spring through fall we are often awakened by the rattling, honking of sandhill cranes and a wide variety of bird songs. Besides deer and lots of small critters, we've seen bear, bobcat, rafters of turkeys, quail, grouse, pheasant, owls, hawks and eagles. The sky, on a clear night, is breathtaking. We have always visualized sharing the land with others, so come and immerse yourself in this bountiful space.

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.

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!
