***Campers (tents not included) must back in from Vista Rd (the tar road). Many prefer to walk back and view the site before parking.
Enjoy unforgettable sunsets over Lake Mille Lacs, painting the sky with vibrant hues. Step onto the sandy beach from your campsite and surround yourself with the soothing sounds of nature and the lapping of the lake's waves to help you unwind and connect with the outdoors.
The campground is a tighter space but the 100 ft beach has plenty of room to spread out.
There is a communal firepit on the beach, along with two portable fire rings available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Adding to the welcoming atmosphere, are two friendly dogs – Frank, a Goldendoodle, and his sister/sidekick, Lucy, a Mini Goldendoodle. They roam freely on part of our property with the help of an invisible fence. Feel free to shoo them away, or hush them if they bother you or if any other rogue neighborhood dog wanders over.
When we camp, we value privacy, and we'll ensure the same for you. Upon arrival, please head directly to your campsite or cabin. We can communicate through messaging to assist you with anything you need.
Guests will need to be self contained, take waste with them and leave no trace.
The Loo (pit toilet): She works hard for the money! With lots of campers and hot weather, The Loo can get a little...fragrant. We have it regularly serviced and cleaned, but during peak heat and heavy use, odors can happen. Nature gonna nature. If you're sensitive to smells please feel free to bring your own portable loo setup!
Quiet hours are from 10:00 pm - 8:00 am please do not disrupt other guests or you may be asked to leave.
***Attention Summer Guests*** ***Swimmer's Itch Prevention***
During the warmer summer months, please be aware of the potential for swimmer's itch in our lake. Please Google Swimmer's Itch Prevention for more information.
***Mayflies and Fish Fly Hatches***
These hatches can vary by date and location. Remember you are in an outdoor space and they are a natural part of the ecosystem.
Although they are a nuisance they are harmless to humans and do not bite or sting.

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.

We loved tenting by the river! Great spot for swimming and floating on tubes (there was even a cinder block for us to use as an anchor!) We brought our own grate for cooking over the fire- though host said they’d be getting one soon. It is a bit of a swampy area so def needed a lot of mosquito sprays/smokers. The barred owls were a nightly visitor- so cool to hang with! The bathroom was very nice. It was a very private spot- even the nearby goats were quite quiet- they were cute and enjoyed our fruit/veggie scraps. Highly recommend this spot!

The farm was so beautiful. Especially loved the farm stand with fresh veggies! The screened shelter was a life saver during the storms and kept bugs away as a bonus. The owner(s) checked on us after the storms to make sure we were okay which was really sweet. It was pretty peaceful and you can hear all sorts of animals at night. I would highly recommend staying here!

My husband and I loved tent camping at camp site #1. The site is picturesque and well maintained. Leah is a wonderful host and was able to answer any questions we had. The add on amenities are great. We rented a couple of kayak’s which I highly recommend if you don’t have your own to bring. The disc golf course is well made and an absolutely beautiful walk through the woods.

We had a wonderful time! We brought our brand-new-to-us vintage camper to the hilltop campsite and stayed for two nights. Joel was so helpful with problem solving our electricity situation and Esther brought us fresh eggs in the morning! And when I tell you the joy we had just watching the chickens walk around…I mean, these were happy, well-loved chickens just being their chicken selves and it was awesome! Lovely walking paths, and even the well water straight from the pump was so cold in this hot weather, honestly we didn’t know what to expect doing this for the first time in a new place with a new camper but the whole property is just beautiful and set up well to not have to back in, and just nice to be there, and we felt very welcomed. We didn’t even get to try the outdoor shower yet or have a fire or see stars, we just were there to rest, so we will have to be back to do all that! Thank you for everything Esther and Joel, we do hope to come back again.

Me and the family stayed at campsite number two and we loved it. We stayed for the 4th of july so we didnt get a chance to try the disc golf course but it looks very intising if you like a challenge. The bugs were not an issue at all especially being in the middle of the woods. Over all it was a fantastic stay. Yes it is a little bit of a walk but that is what makes the experience even better. Leah and her family where there when we pulled up and they were doing landscaping and improving the overall look of the place. Leah greeted use with joy and excitment that we were there. We did not get a chance to use the shower or private bathroom, by the look of the building the bathrooms must be nice. The big sliver dome tents that leah has will definitely be the next thing we try on our next trip. Overall the experience was very heart-warming and easy to find. Definitely 11 out of 10 to recommend staying here.

Camper camping at the Dirt Camp is always fun: it’s a quick spin to Sagamore or the boat ramp. Our dog loves the quiet spot, we love full power (including EV charging) and well water. It’s so peaceful chilling in the meadow when the wind is in the treetops. We brought our elderly dog last year and she had the best 4th of July ever.

This is my second stay and it was just as lovely as the first time. Esther met me with information and some delicious cookies. The farm is beautiful and peaceful. The whole area has really picturesque small farms with signs along the road advertising farm fresh eggs for sale. Esther and Joel have free range chickens that add some country ambience. If you are just stopping over on your way somewhere or making this your destination, it's worth it.

2 nights at Gabeshiwin Tipi Village
I spent the best 2 nights at Gabeshiwin and looking forward to going back. This review is mostly going to be about the hosts. Kevin and Donna are amazing. I had booked a tipi and when the trip was approaching rain was in the forecast so they made last minute arrangements to keep me dry. Kevin was fast end efficient with communication and he couldn't have done more to accommodate my needs. The grounds are beautiful and so well maintained. If you take the time to look around you will find details that make your stay even more special. When the skies cleared I was able to share a bon fire with the Kevin and Donna which was the cherry on the top of my sundae for my stay!
