⛺️ Since 1949, we've been a family-operated resort & campground on Swan Lake in Fergus Falls, MN. We offer lakeside cabins, tent camping, and full hook-up, pull-through RV sites. Here, there is time to slow down, room to breathe, and lots to explore. 🏖️ Soak up the sun on the sandy beach, hike through the hidden trails, and take the pontoon out for a cruise. Be sure to turn the tech off and challenge a rival to ping pong, crack a cold one, and explore the water on stand-up paddleboard. 🍦 Bring the little ones and get messy at the arts & crafts table, catch a sunfish off the docks, and indulge in s’mores around the campfire. Don’t forget to show us what you got on the volleyball court and savor an ice cream at the camp store. Curl up in a hammock and get lost in a good book, smile at the flowers and gaze in awe at the night sky. Just be.

Weekend Trip to Swan Lake Resort & Campground

Swan Lake Resort and Campground was the perfect escape for our family. From the moment we arrived, the peaceful atmosphere wrapped around us — quiet mornings with birdsong, calm lake breezes, and spacious campsites that gave everyone room to breathe. One of the best parts was the uninterrupted stillness during the day and especially in the evenings. Thanks to the thoughtful layout and generously sized slots, there was very little noise or commotion from neighboring campers, which made it easy to truly relax. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive — when my son crashed his bike, they didn’t hesitate to help with his wounds, showing genuine care that meant a lot to us. Their flexibility with boat rentals was also a gift; they rolled with our shifting plans and even a last-minute cancellation when the kids hit a moody streak on our final day. We loved the honor-system store, where you could grab a snack or drink from the fridge or shelves and simply jot it down for later billing. It felt like a place built on trust and community. And scattered throughout the grounds were these amazing tree carvings — almost like totem poles — that added a touch of rustic artistry and whimsy to the landscape. This wasn’t just a campground — it was a place where we felt cared for, connected, and free to enjoy the simple joy. We will definitely be going back.

Don't attempt to stay here for one night. Stay for AT LEAST a week! It is a beautiful spot, so much attention to detail has been put into this place. A game room, a fitness path, a BEAUTIFUL beach! So much to do for everyone!

We had a very peaceful afternoon & evening hanging out by the lake with our pups. There were lots of birds. There is a neighbor pretty close and you can see a few of the neighbors, but they are far enough away to feel somewhat private.

This was our second time at Russell’s and its safe to say we will be back again! We had to cut our trip a day short due to some bad weather, and Russell was so kind to offer us a place to stay to ride out the storm. Can’t say enough good things about Russell, his hospitality and the awesome spot we cant wait to come back to soon!

Weekend Trip to Maplewood RV Park and Camp

I loved tent camping with my young children here! The hidden seclusion of this site was wonderful. The bathroom was in easy reach though not right next to the spot. The rock bed around the fire entertained children for hours. I did have to follow the instructions with some faith to find the spot, it's very hidden and no gravel road. If my tent wasn't so huge you'd never have known we were there. Grass was clean and soft for putting up the tent. Heard frogs all night and birds all morning.

The land is very beautiful. You have a beautiful view of the lake. It’s very private. There are other campers there, but they’re far away from you. The only drawback is you have to take your trash with you. But I believe it was worth it. Good price for what you get.

Awesome little getaway close to Maplewood State Park, perfect for our small little family. Appreciate the privacy, though it is a bit closer to the residence than maybe depicted, still an awesome night. Thistle in and around the fire pit was kinda nasty, but a quick cleanup. Firewood is listed as an amenity, however after purchase- no wood was available. Overall, great little site for a quick trip! Thanks Chad
