Just behind this site is a creek. The kids love to catch crawfish and splash around.

Finland Campground

Lake Superior and Tettegouche State Park are Prom King and Queen when it comes to this slice of Minnesota’s pristine forests, but why not give the less popular kid some love? Besides, Finland Campground just might be your next perfect campground—basic, far enough away from the crowds, yet still close to all of the outdoors action

Campground in Finland State Forest (8.5mi)

I cannot remember the site number, but this site is on the back loop and is the best site. That's right. It is nestled into the trees and hugged by a rocky ledge on the backside. Super private and beautiful.

A unique, octagon, cedar log cabin, situated on 40 secluded wooded acres. A short hike over the Sucker River on a storybook foot bridge to a generous deck which surrounds the cabin.
You will need to be very physically fit to stay here. You must climb a steep ladder to the loft and do a 2ft step to get off the deck to the marshy land below.

The cabin has a main room which holds two sofas and an indoor fireplace. There are games, books, binoculars and a telescope available for guest use. To access the sleeping loft, climb a ladder. The sleeping loft holds a Sleep Number bed. Guests are welcome to use any spices, pantry items and cookware that are in the kitchen. There is no running water in the kitchen or bath.  There may be well water in the blue/green jerry cans . You could use that for the sauna or washing dishes.

Guests need to bring their own potable water. We recommend 1 gallon of water per person each day spent at the cabin. We do usually have a small amount of water in water cooler containers which is from the local grocery, filtered water for you to use in a pinch if needed. 

***the sauna DOES NOT get above 120 degrees in the winter, you’re welcome to try a winter sauna, but it’s will not be very hot at all****
 

***no running water***

***no shower, there is a sauna for a sauna bath***

***do not book this cabin if you need to charge any medical equipment***

***do not book this cabin if you can not do a 2ft step on and off the deck of the cabin to get down to the ground to build a sauna fire or bonfire. The land is a marsh and it shifts with the season so there are not steps secured to the deck****
