We have been camping here every summer for over 10 years and it is truly amazing. It’s much quieter and more remote than the campgrounds in garden city and is run by amazing people. We’ve had the honor of staying in the campsites and also in their cabins and both were the perfect getaway! We’ve have never had an issue with too much noise and if we ever did we’d have the decency to politely ask tho... We have been camping here every summer for over 10 years and it is truly amazing. It’s much quieter and more remote than the campgrounds in garden city and is run by amazing people. We’ve had the honor of staying in the campsites and also in their cabins and both were the perfect getaway! We’ve have never had an issue with too much noise and if we ever did we’d have the decency to politely ask those we share a campground with if they could possibly be a bit quieter. Kindness goes a long way! I hope everyone reading these reviews realizes how much work goes into maintaining and owning such a stellar campground. Anyway if you are looking for a serene place to enjoy a lake trip at I’ll always recommend this gem🤍

First time here and was disappointed when we checked in as the website had me thinking it was on the lake. Couldn’t even see the lake but it isn’t a far drive. Appears to be a heavily used weekend place, Sunday night the place only had a total of 7 units occupied. Lots of center greenspace, laundry is very affordable. Not all adhere to the dogs on a leash rule, which is a problem if you have pet... First time here and was disappointed when we checked in as the website had me thinking it was on the lake.

Office was very helpful and made special effort to find out all answers to our questions.

It was a pretty good RV park. Staff was friendly. The RV sights are pretty spacious. Plenty of room for trailer and truck. The Grassy campsites are nice. Great place to stay if you are going to North Beach or Minnetonka Cave.

Last minute trip to Bear Lake. It’s probably the closest camp park -which was VERY convenient and the service was good. Clean showers and bathrooms but little bit of a walk. Offers Wi-Fi and allows fire pits. No cabins were available and entire site was full.

We loved our stay here. For our family reunion we rented 3 cabins and 3 tent sites. Stayed 2 nights and loved it. Super close to North Beach. The owners were very helpful and responsive. The bathrooms were cleaned regularly, the grass was nice, there are enough trees for some shade, it was great. No issues at all.
