Have been there many times and recommended often. Just had a friend listen to me and they had a great time. Said they will be going back lots. Thanks for everything you do and making me proud to send folks to such a great place.

Bent Trout Lake in Barnum is the greatest! I have been coming here with my mother, my daughters and now my grandchildren since the mid-90s. Over the years, we have rented pontoons or paddle boats or just gone swimming. We are tent campers and places to camp are rapidly going away but BTL has some of the most spacious campsites I have ever encountered. We use site 80 down the hill. I haven't been here since like 2005 and while it's modernized and kept up with the times it's still a peaceful campground. There are some permanent sites there that I recognize since the 1990s and it's nice that while everything's changing you can always count on Scott and Mike and their familes, happy to greet you and treat you like an old friend and help you with whatever you may need. BTL is the only place I will ever camp in Minnesota.

I've been camping at Bent trout Lake for 22 plus years I've seen a lot of families come and go. Bent Trout Lake is very family oriented.I highly recommend!!

I have a seasonal site I love it here all the people here are very helpful friendly. The owners have been here forever they are always working to keep things cleaned up and maintained all the time. If the Covid 19 would disappear then would be able to go to the family events held at campground but this year canceled. This is my happy place.

Very peaceful/serene. Clean place. We would camp here again.

A family-owned campground situated on a private lake. Both seasonal leases and "weekender" rental sites. A developed beach access to the lake surrounded by virginal untouched nature. Filled with friendly Minnesotans, I don't think camping gets any better than this (unless one desires a true, experience "roughing it" independently completely in the wild)!

Been a seasonal here since 2011, and staying before that. Awesome fireworks on the 4th of July weekend, and fun kids games and adult tournaments on holiday weekends.
