Located at the end of a private road on Fool Lake with wooded mature trees that offer privacy. The lake is quiet and calm. Fool Lake is a private, environmental lake, with many varieties of fish. Perfect for kayaks, canoes, paddle boards, and swimming. Boating is allowed up to 40 hp via gated private launch (no tubing or skiing). The land slopes to the lake where you will find small dock and a few stairs into the water. Well for water and electricity available including a 30 amp hookup for RV campers. Large outhouse also has electricity. Minutes away from access to Cuyuna trails, Crosby, and Emily, as well as nearby Nisswa and Crosslake. This central location offers access to any and all amenities. After a day on the trails, in town, or on the water, an evening at the at the fire pit overlooking the lake is a perfect way to end the day. Wind down, relax and enjoy the trees, lake and nature surrounding you. We expect all guests to respect the neighborhood, lake and nature! **November to early spring the water access will be winterized and NOT available for use.

When facing the lake, the fire pit is located near the middle of the yard on the right hand side. If you use the fire pit please always keep the fire supervised and be sure it's completely out (coals too) before leaving the pit unsupervised. Keep the forest and animals safe! Neighbors on the left are a seasonal campground (Fools Lake Campground) currently closed and to the right an Airbnb house. Please be respectful of the property and the neighbors/neighborhood. Take all trash with you so it doesn't end up in the lake or feeding the wildlife :) Enjoy the amazing area! **Please note after site has been winterized in early November there is no running water available.

Exceeded my expectations
Beautiful and peaceful place to enjoy nature and a fabulous lake view. This was my first Hipcamp experience and this one will be tough to beat. The lake and loon calls were the highlight. This little humble spot of serenity was nearly perfect. Definitely 10/10

This was a gem of a campsite. Great location close to Cuyuna and on a quiet lake. You can bike in the morning, have lunch in town, and come back to camp for an afternoon nap in the hammock before finishing up the day with a sunset paddle on the lake. There is a campground next door, but with the woods on either side it still feels really private. When I was there midweek in late summer, the campground was nearly empty and exceptionally quiet. Good size lot, it worked well for tent camping, though I think the trees would make it difficult for a large trailer or big RV to maneuver. Electric and water available, plus the option to purchase firewood supplied on site was super convenient. The wood swing on the lakeshore was a surprising highlight for me. Perfect spot to sit with a book and some tea while listening to the loons, morning or evening. It was a perfect trip. 11/10, would love camp here again.

Fools for Fool’s Lake
I almost don’t want to leave a review because this spot was so perfectly beautiful, quiet, and private. But wow! We will definitely be back to tent here. Only a few houses on this lake, water so clear that the loons make their homes here… We saw a loon family with a juvenile every day, eagles fishing right out of the water, pileated woodpeckers at our site, and although all this is enjoyable from shore we also brought our kayaks and enjoyed quiet paddles.

Lakefront getaway
We loved it! A group of 8 of us (4 tents and a pull behind unit) were able to spread out with room to spare! The lake was beautiful, quiet, and had great fishing. A great lake for canoeing and kayaking. Having electricity/water was great, outhouse was clean, great fire area. Neighbors aren't close enough to really notice that they're there. One note: the slope down to the lake and firepit for most people is no problem. It is a bit difficult for those with physical impairments so just a good note if someone in your group needs to be aware.
