This spot was quiet and private and the host was very accommodating. It was close to Itaska and LaSalle Lake State Parks for day excursions, and also just a 20 minute drive to Bemidji. The driveway is long and may be a challenge for high profile or wider vehicles, especially after a rain or windstorm as tree branches tend to lean over into the lane, but the additional bonus of being able to park under a tall lean-to structure for shelter in inclement weather made it more than worth it. We hope to stay here again!

Late June- site is ideal basecamp for exploring Itasca area lakes & trails. Driving on Great River Road is beautiful. We stayed by field- rolling meadow brimming w/ wildflowers, surrounded by deer-filled birch forest. Fireflies & butterflies & stars & kite-flying. Cool breeze off field kept mosquitoes in check, wore hats & bug spray b/c of ticks & deer flies. Easily remedied w/ socks over pantlegs & repellent. Stuck ticks on tape- or thrown in empty pop bottle w/ screw-cap. Lymes confirmed in area, so cautious. Dogs have vaccine & tick meds, but are magnetics. Dogs on tieout did great & prevented big black bear from entering kiddos empty tent, which reminded us to keep food in truck w/ anything scented like sunscreen or toothpaste. Glad we brought sunshades/canopy, camping toilet & sink. No fires allowed, so had hotplate & truck cord. Every night was an awesome game night- boardgames, cards, mad libs- partly b/c zero bars cellphone service (Verizon4G only.) Which ended up being a total blessing for good-oldfashioned family bonding. There's a nice little park nearby for ok cell reception to answer emails & make a few important calls. I might invest in modest signal amplifier for camping adventures in future. Tons of trails close by for off-leash dogs & lakes for swimming. But honestly, the meadow view, central yet secluded location & the kindness of the hosts (later check-in & check-out) made this place a 5 star experience absolutely. A hidden gem.

The drive in was amazing, big beautiful trees and snow everywhere. Definitely the nicest people I have ever met. I got stuck in the snow and multiple people offered to help me. The host was polite and met with me as I pulled in.
