Located at the end of a private road on Fool Lake with wooded mature trees that offer privacy. The lake is quiet and calm. Fool Lake is a private, environmental lake, with many varieties of fish. Perfect for kayaks, canoes, paddle boards, and swimming. Boating is allowed up to 40 hp via gated private launch (no tubing or skiing). The land slopes to the lake where you will find small dock and a few stairs into the water. Well for water and electricity available including a 30 amp hookup for RV campers. Large outhouse also has electricity. Minutes away from access to Cuyuna trails, Crosby, 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 at the fire pit overlooking the lake is a perfect way to end the day. Wind down, relax and enjoy the trees, lake and nature surrounding you. We expect all guests to respect the neighborhood, lake and nature! **November to early spring the water access will be winterized and NOT available for use. Any winter camping is at your own digression and snow removal will only be provided on the neighborhood road(s) up to the entrance of the site. Getting into the site could be difficult depending on the snow conditions.** Note: there is currently a locked camper & small kids house on site not available for use.

When facing the lake, the fire pit is located near the middle of the yard on the right hand side. If you use the fire pit please always keep the fire supervised and be sure it's completely out (coals too) before leaving the pit unsupervised. Keep the forest and animals safe! Neighbors on the left are a seasonal campground (Fools Lake Campground) currently closed and to the right an Airbnb house. Please be respectful of the property and the neighbors/neighborhood. Take all trash with you so it doesn't end up in the lake or feeding the wildlife :) Enjoy the amazing area! **Please note after site has been winterized in early November there is no running water available.

Amazing location with a killer view

Tent

A Fool's Paradise Found: Camping at Fool Lake, MN Don't let the name fool you, Fool Lake in Minnesota is anything but foolish! My recent overnight camping trip with my cousin to this hidden gem was an absolute blast. Nestled amidst towering trees, the lake offers a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. We arrived at the campsite and quickly set up our tents. The afternoon was spent kayaking around the lake and setting up camp. As evening descended, we gathered around the campfire, shared stories and laughter under a canopy of stars. Waking up to the sounds of nature was pure bliss. We brewed a pot of coffee and enjoyed a leisurely breakfast while taking in the breathtaking sunrise over the lake. We were even lucky enough to spot a family of eagles in a large nest nearby! Fool Lake provided the perfect backdrop for a memorable camping adventure. It was a great opportunity to reconnect with nature and my cousin. I highly recommend this spot to anyone seeking a peaceful getaway with opportunities for outdoor fun.

Easy to find and a nice spot to camp, can't wait to go again next year when it's warmer and we can do some swimming too.

Beautiful private fun spot, close to a bunch of bars/restaurants but far enough to feel comfortable! Would stay again, already planning to come back
