The property is on a vacant lot next to our cabin lot on the Snake River East of Pine City MN. This lot has the better river view and experience as its a small peninsula that juts out to the river with rapids. There is a swimming area right next to the campsite or feel free to jump into the rapids if you want a rush. River is not deep most of the year and there is fishing right there as well, mostly large and small mouth bass. There is parking off the road and a short walk to the campsite, just follow the sounds of the river. A small wagon is provided to help with getting gear down to the river tent site. New this year (2025) is a composting toilet along the trail to the tent site. It uses a "separator" where #1 goes back to the earth (as it is sterile and liquid) and #2 goes into a bucket and is covered with wood chips. There is also a standing urinal for men if desired. If you would prefer to use a pit toilet there is one on the property with directions marked with a sign. It is a farther walk however, about 100 yards from the tent site and on the cabin property near the driveway. If you want something even more convenient, feel free to bring your own. Firewood is available for sale onsite or feel free to clean up dead wood lying along the trail at no cost, note that it is more than likely freshly cut and wet but will burn if the fire is hot enough. The tent site is right next to rapids on the Snake river. If you struggle sleeping to the sound of rushing water, this may not be for you!I will email a very detailed document shortly before your booking date. It will contain everything you need to know about the site and ideas for things to do in the area. This site is within eye site of cabins on both sides as well as across the river, but it feels very private, especially when trees are full of leaves. You will be the only campsite on this lot at this time and you will have full access to the river with both rapids and a swimming area. The Tent Site is very close to Chengwatana State Forest (10 minute drive) known for ATV/UTV/Motorcycle and horseback trails. Keep this in mind if you would like to bring your toys and check it out. You can find more details on the MN DNR website. There should be room to park a trailer at our campsite if needed. The Snake River is a great kayaking or canoeing river, feel free to bring yours and start up river in Pine City or there is a private spot about halfway from Pine City to the campsite. If you need someone to bring your car back to the campsite (and I'm around) I'd be happy to do it, else you'll need two vehicles. There is no potable water access so you will need to bring your own, but bathing in the river is very relaxing. Bugs are always a nuisance in Northern MN so plan accordingly. Good bug spray does the trick. Star gazing at night is a great experience with very little light pollution to interrupt it. We are at our cabin sporadically and will let you know if we will be around - in most cases you will hear us working!. But trust you won't be bothered.
