We really enjoyed our time here, it rained on our last day and we had the sauna lit for a perfect rainy day. Ample space for a tent, and having the porch to set our stove on and cook off of was really nice as well. We would stay here again!

We had a great time camping here. Came with firewood and a great fireplace. Also a very cool sauna although we did not use it. Great location close to a lot of great hiking and sites to see. Would definitely recommend!

A perfect spot to relax and renew! Bonus is that the camp is close to everything in the Lutsen area.

We had a great time camping on Patrick's land. Directions to the site were clear and helpful, and bathroom facilities were excellent for the location. There was plenty of space for our 3 person tent, but with a larger tent things would have gotten tight.
