Located on the Pine River just minutes from Crosby/Ironton with wooded mature trees that offer privacy. The land is quiet and calm. River is clear and varies in depth depending on the season. The Pine River State Water Trail flows gently through the jack pine forests and quiet water of west central Minnesota. The lake and hill country in this area illustrate classic glacial land forms. With easy access to a public launch and within a half mile of the Mississippi River it is a perfect spot for exploring some of Minnesota's greatest waterways, lakes and forests. Property backs up to privately owned conservation land. Site is mostly primitive with electricity available. Outhouse bathroom. Access to property is through a unpaved wrap around driveway. This is northern Minnesota in the Forest on a River so please be prepared for bugs and bring the appropriate clothing and bug spray/netting etc. We recommend Deep Woods with Deet! Minutes away from access to Cuyuna trails, Crosby, Ironton 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 overlooking the river is a perfect way to end the day. Wind down, relax and enjoy the trees, water and nature surrounding you. Pack in and pack out trash/recycling. Keep the forest and animals safe! Please be respectful of the property and the neighbors/neighborhood. Keep all vehicles and campers off the newly installed drain field and buried septic tank. When leaving please take all trash/recycling with you so it doesn't end up in the water or feeding the wildlife. :) Enjoy the amazing area! **Please note there is no running water available (well pump not currently working). This is the forest in northern Minnesota so please be prepared for native insects! Snow removal will NOT be provided during the winter. Access to the site may be very difficult depending on the snow conditions.** Things To Do: Cuyuna Mountain Bike Trails - https://www.cuyunalakesmtb.com/ https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/state_parks/cuyuna/mtnbiking.html Cuyuna Lakes State Trail: https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/state_trails/cuyuna_lakes/index.html Super Premium Gourmet Cheeses, Artisan Ice-Cream, Wine & Spirits, MN Goodies & More - https://shopvictual.com/ Bike Rental, Sales, Service, Food, Coffee, Etc. - https://www.redraven.bike/ Soo Line Museum - http://www.cuyunahistory.org/museum.html Milford Mine Memorial Park - https://www.crowwing.us/294/Milford-Mine-Memorial-Park Serpent Lake & Crosby Memorial Park/Playground Hard Water Lounge - https://www.hardwaterlounge.com/ Paul Bunyan Land - https://paulbunyanland.com/ Paul Bunyan Trail: the longest Minnesota bike/hike trail at 120 miles!

Jackie was a great host! She communicated well out of the gate and was quick to respond to any questions during our time on site. Jackie suggested bringing a lot of bug spray but bugs were not an issue at all. We visited in early May. The property was clean and we enjoyed our stay!

We and our dogs absolutely lived the site. Gorgeous views and watching the river go by was fantastic! Will definitely be booking again and perhaps leave the dogs with a sitter.

Great place. As advertised. A little close to highway but not an issue. Especially when the leaves are still out! Great location overall.

Nice spot along the river, close to all the Cuyuna fun but just out of the fray to keep evenings calm amd quiet. Electricity on site is a plus to charge your batteries.

The site and porta potty are both super clean. I would stay here again. The view of the river is also very pretty. Note that you can go down to the river, but the 5 feet before the river is pure mud, and this is in early October after the driest and warmest September in MN on record (2024). So, expect to get very mucky going to and from the river. Also, road noise is very loud. Overall, however, I recommend this site! Great location! The host was also very responsive and helpful to inquiries.

Awesome Getaway

Riverside Tent/RV/Camper Van Site

Awesome camping space and beautiful view next to the water. Calm & Quite, with few cars driving the road near. Would book again! Thanks Jackie! We booked this camp site last minute, and didn’t realize we didn’t have a code for the lock to get around the gate. Simple miss communication, but no big deal. Jackie provided it quick and easy for us.

Secluded camping

Riverside Tent/RV/Camper Van Site

Secluded just off the highway and close to Crosby. Place was accurately described. The toilet facilities were well stocked and had everything you'll need to do your thing. Nearby river was a nice view. Property was heavily wooded. Power was available from the garage.
