Weekend Trip to Tumbleweed Base Camp

My partner and I had a wonderful stay. The host was attentive, friendly, and communicative, and it was clear that he genuinely loves creating thoughtful spaces for people to gather and enjoy. Everything was super clean and comfortable. Would absolutely recommend!

Weekend Trip to Mikko Kamp on the 4th Crow

Great spot near Nevis. Definitely returning for another visit!

Weekend Trip to Tumbleweed Base Camp

This place is great! Perfect home base for all there is to offer in the area. I’ve already recommended to a friend and would definitely come back. Thanks for a great stay!

Weekend Trip to Tumbleweed Base Camp

Great hosts! Great stop while driving cross country

2 nights at Safe And Sound In Nevis, MN

The cabin was wonderful . The lake and the doc are majestic at sunset. My tweens loved sleeping in the loft and making smores by the fire pit ! Deb is a great host invited us downtown to an event she hosts that benefits the animal shelter ! A real swell time with swell hosts !

2 nights at Tumbleweed Base Camp

I camped for two nights in my tent. David and Logan were the perfect hosts. Their land is beautiful, and the place was very serene. What they’ve done with the barn is really nice and would be a great place to hang out on a rainy night.

Weekend Trip to Tumbleweed Base Camp

Tent camping at Tumbleweed was simple, peaceful, and exactly what I needed. I loved being surrounded by green grass that felt like a soft meadow, wildflowers in bloom, and the surprise of cool mushrooms scattered throughout. The biodiversity of the ecosystem was beautiful to witness. I came for solo respite and retreat—and left feeling refreshed, grounded, and renewed.

Weekend Trip to Sunset Hilltop Retreat-Battle Lake

Mindy and her husband were so kind and created a fun and clean environment to camp on. Also, the site had a beautiful view. Definitely recommending this place to future campers and plan to camp here again in future.

3 nights at Four Leaf

I was very happy with the campsite, plenty of room, however the docking area needs work to dock your boat! There was one thing that irritated me was the bowling fisherman at 12:00 am with outrageous spot lights, upon review of rules they are braking the law ! Absolutely no fault of land owener!! Only 1 night thankfully! Great direction ,good neighbors. I would recommend it for more people, and I will surely be back if the landing is fixed! Great weekend and very happy! Thank you Melissa

Weekend Trip to Tumbleweed Base Camp

This was a quaint place very well placed to give seclusion yet close enough for any need. I will be excited to see how they continue to grow as I will definitely return. I will say having a communal grill would be a great upgrade.

2 nights at RV There Yet Campground

Perfect for boondocking! There is water at the rv dump as well as clean portables dotted throughout the acreage. Importantly, there is plenty of space for a relatively private stay. We were in site 101 and could hear the road quite clearly but didn’t mind, you may want to choose a deeper site. The tree plantation was perfect for a hammock! Thank you Allen and we look forward to another stay.

Weekend Trip to Tumbleweed Base Camp

Staying at Tumbleweed worked very well for our family. We had a grassy site with a picnic table. We had easy access to the nice recreation /lounge area in the barn. David and Logan were very hospitable and welcoming. We would definitely stay again.

2 nights at Paul’s Lakeside Cottage

Paul’s cabin is nice and simple. Beautiful land and lake access. We saw loons, herons and heard lots of other birds each evening and morning. The cabin had the essentials we needed and Paul was very hospitable.

1 night at Sunset Hilltop Retreat-Battle Lake

Nice and secluded with beautiful views. This site catches the breeze off the lake so it helps keep the bugs down. Pack light because it's a cart in area and has a steep climb to the top but that's what makes this site unique. Mindy answered all of our questions and had good suggestions on where to get some breakfast. I would definitely go back again.

2 nights at Swan Lake Resort & Campground

Super cute, they have anything you could need, and lots of fun stuff to do!

Weekend Trip to Tumbleweed Base Camp

The site was very quiet and so comfortable! We felt like we were by ourselves in the woods. The bathroom was very clean and convenient. The hosts were absolutely fabulous!

Weekend Trip to RV There Yet Campground

The campground was very quiet and private feeling. There was free firewood to use which was nice and we got good sleep.

Weekend Trip to Tumbleweed Base Camp

Very quiet and well maintained site. Perfect for a short weekend stay in Detroit Lakes! Thank you David!

Weekend Trip to Tumbleweed Base Camp

This is a lovely, quiet spot with prime location to Detroit Mtn. The property's renovated barn is beautiful with amenities like bumper pool table, ping pong, dining area, reading books. We had a 20 ft. Camper and there was another longer camper and a couple ofntent campers. Super nice, highly recommend.

2 nights at Paul’s Lakeside Cottage

Loved our time at Paul and Piper's. Their hospitality is fantastic. Plenty of room for our dog to stretch her legs. Cabin is also close to the NCT for hiking which was our focus. Wish we would've had more time - would have loved to take a sunset cruise around the lake with Paul and Piper. We hope to be back!

The old barn is a work in progress to eventually become the base to accommodating more travelers and outdoor enthusiasts as finances permit. My son Logan, after having worked in the service industry bartending for 14 years and hosting 100+ global travelers via CouchSurfing out in San Diego, is well-versed in creating an inviting space, enjoying the merits of hard work through the hospitality industry. We look forward to meeting you and sharing/swapping stories around the campfire! Learn more about this land: Our property and profile are in constant change as we are in a stage of development, but we look to share our land with those seeking to enjoy a warm, welcome environment for those fellow wanderers, outdoor enthusiasts, vagabonds, and globetrotters.
