About True North Basecamp

Campground in Minnesota.

Nestled in the heart of northern Minnesota, True North Basecamp offers RV travelers an authentic gateway to the scenic Arrowhead region. Located in Crosby, a charming small town with genuine Midwestern hospitality, this public campground serves as an ideal basecamp for exploring one of Minnesota's most captivating landscapes.

Crosby sits at the edge of some of Minnesota's most treasured natural areas, making it perfect for outdoor enthusiasts and those seeking a peaceful retreat. The town itself carries rich mining heritage, evident in its character and local stories. The location puts you within reasonable driving distance of numerous state parks and natural attractions that define northern Minnesota's appeal. Anglers will appreciate proximity to excellent fishing opportunities in the region's numerous lakes, while hikers and nature lovers can access miles of scenic trails through boreal forests and along pristine waterways.

The Arrowhead region is known for its stunning natural beauty, particularly the dramatic landscape carved by glaciers thousands of years ago. Lakes dot the terrain, offering recreation opportunities from spring through fall. Summer visitors enjoy pleasant temperatures perfect for outdoor activities, while the region's longer daylight hours during peak season mean more time to explore. The fall season brings spectacular foliage as the hardwoods transform into brilliant displays of red, orange, and gold.
