Cuyuna Crossing | Campsites
Cuyuna Crossing Campsites offer walk-in riverside camping on 21 wooded acres with over a half mile of Mississippi River frontage. What began as a simple drive-in camping property has grown into a quieter, more intentional setting designed to protect the land and preserve a peaceful guest experience.
Vehicles now park in the main lot, and carts are provided to transport gear to your campsite. This shift reduces road noise and keeps the riverfront calm for all guests.
The property includes one Riverside Group Site (accommodating up to four tents) and four individual rustic tent sites located along the river. Campsites are bring-your-own-gear, with no water or electricity at the individual sites. A conveniently located porta potty serves the campsite area.
Optional Add-On: Shower & Bathroom Access
Rustic campers may purchase access to a private bathroom and shower located in the main building. This facility is shared among campsite guests who have purchased the add-on and is available on a first-come basis. Advance purchase is required, availability is limited per night, and a door code will be provided prior to arrival.
An 18-hole professionally designed disc golf course (opening Spring 2026) winds through the wooded property and is available exclusively to overnight guests during their stay.
You’ll feel tucked into the Northwoods while still being close to town, trails, and local amenities.
Nearby:
200 yards to The Bridge Tavern restaurant and bar
1.5 miles to the Milford Mine Memorial Park
5 miles to Yawkey Unit mountain bike trails
6 miles to Cuyuna Recreation Area trailhead
5 miles to downtown Crosby shops and restaurants
6 miles to Super One Foods
5.9 miles to Cykel Bike Shop in Ironton
5.2 miles to Cuyuna Regional Medical Center

For guests seeking a more private glamping experience, Cuyuna Crossing also offers three insulated Hypedomes with private wood-fired hot tubs and dedicated bathrooms. You can find those accommodations under our separate listing, “Cuyuna Crossing | Domes.”
Please note: Prior reviews referencing vehicle access reflect an earlier layout of the property. Campsites are now walk-in only to preserve quiet and protect the land.

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.

Campsite 1 was an awesome camping spot on the River. The road to get there wasn’t bad at all. I was able to drive my fwd sedan down there easily.

We wanted to find somewhere last minute to camp and it was a really cool spot. Plenty of firewood, nice view of the river. We didn’t face any issues driving to the site, off roading but a clear path. The fire pit was awesome and our fire was still smoking when we woke up!

What a fantastic spot! As the host recommends, definitely plan to walk. We drove out there in a very small AWD car and we got out and in in mostly one piece, but it is very tight. That said, site 3 is stunning. The stars were out and it was the perfect site to stargaze. We managed to get a couple walleye off of the bank in front of the camp. Definitely bring your rod and some heavy lures to get across the wide Mississippi if you like fishing. They are out there!
-Tons of wood
-good views
-well kept
-very dog friendly
-no bugs (when we went)

The site was secluded, which we love. Private and virtually quiet, with the occasional car in the far distance. The campsite was right by the river which is a great view early in the morning.

First trip for our small crew - 2 adults and 3 doggos. Limited people sounds (a bit of traffic near by, but easy to tune out). The site is definitely new with lots of down sticks and branches for a fire. It was great to be close to town, but also distant from people. Looks like they are making great strides with expansion.

Love the view and the privacy! Caught some fish and and had some peaceful nights by the fire! Trails are a bit tight but they were dry. I made it back there with a 2wd f150 no problem! I would highly recommend the stay!

My friend and I loved tent camping at site 3. The hike in was made easier with the wagon and we loved the views of the Mississippi. We were able to put our tubes in at site 2 and coast down to our site. We got a nice breeze and plenty of privacy! Leah had great communication leading up to our trip and even provided us helpful information for a kayaking route. We would definitely like to come back for more memories! Having endless firewood was such a perk too.

Would recommend staying at Bob and Roxanne’s! A beautiful area for camping. We had a perfect night under the stars and full moon enjoying a bonfire and sounds of nature around us (sandhill cranes, loons, owls, redstarts, and even some wolves howling during the night). The site was private and quite spacious. The flies and mosquitos were out in force during the day but they provided a mesh shelter that was nice to hang out in. The outhouse (very nice and clean) is a bit of a walk at night, but they provided potable water at our site so we were able to brush our teeth without walking to the outhouse. The yurt was sturdy and spacious and cooled down well for sleep. The town of Mora was only 12-15 mins from the property making it easy to access restaurants or grocery stores. Bob and Rox are very friendly and were very responsive to questions I had prior to arrival. We would definitely recommend this spot!

1 night at Spirits of the Forest
The lush beauty and elegance of their property was very understated in the description! We loved our visit to the tipi, and would recommend the experience to other Hipcampers visiting the area. I wish we could have stayed another night or two!

Took a break from cabins surrounded by other cabins and enjoyed tent camping with our Lugaloo on campsite #1. Yes, you can hear traffic but didn’t bother us. Bring a speaker and play your favorite music. You don’t need a loud volume to drown out the traffic sound. Enjoyed the adventurous drive to the camp site. We did help out fellow campers that got stuck so keep that in mind. We drove a dodge ram 2500 with a wench. Glad we could help out. You want off grid and surround yourself with trees…you found it. Great weekend.

Excellent weekend getaway on the river. The site was easy to find and super spacious. I had plenty of room to explore, and a great spot for my tent. Fishing was also excellent from this spot, if you’re planning to fish, hit up Oars-n-Mine in Crosby for bait as the bait shop across the street from the property is closed. My Nissan Rogue made it mostly fine to and from the campsite (I still goofed and scraped over a small stump which my front bumper didn’t like. Just be aware and you’ll be fine). Hoping to be back at some point as the views were fantastic and the solitude was lovely

Peaceful, quiet, and the stars were great. Make sure to bring sheets, blankets, and pillows, and camping chairs to sit by the fire. Great stay for the price and would definitely stay again!

I stayed at site #3. Beautiful spot and very secluded from your neighbors. Lots of wood to burn and a beautiful spot to relax and detox from the rest of the world. Not a very hard drive to get back there at all (as long as you have AWD I’d say lol). I would highly recommend this spot. 10/10 🫶🏻

Camping at this site #2 was great! Lots of great fire wood and an excellent view right on the Mississippi River!
The site is a great place to stay. We brought a boat to hop on the fish the whitefish chain, we had plenty of space to park it at the front of the property. The boat parking was nicely hidden away from the road.
The drive to campsite was easy enough but I would recommend having 4 wheel drive or 4x4, ESPECIALLY if rains. Don’t plan on bringing a boat/trailer with you to the campsite, but there is space to park it at the front of the property. Bring mosquito spray, they can be tough buggers.
