This unique geographic feature provides visitors with expansive views across the third-largest lake in the state.

Each site typically includes a fire ring and picnic table, encouraging a traditional outdoor living experience. Water enthusiasts benefit from a well-maintained boat launch and a dedicated swimming beach area that is perfect for cooling off.

Would have given this five stars. However, the trails were not maintained at all. The camp post was a older lady who kind of knew what was going on but really didn't.
Douglas Moen
Campground is well kept and quiet. Hardly any bugs which is great! Boat landing was very nice. Good swimming beach and sandy swimming areas along the entrance road. Bathrooms were nice but could use updating, showers were also nice but could use slight updates. Overall was a great stay and will go back!

Clean, spacious campsites, indoor fish cleaning station with water, no firewood on site. Six spacious showers, not the worst but also not the cleanest. Bathrooms are dated but clean. Beach is nice for kids to play. New construction coming in 2026.

I loved this campground! It was quiet. Well kept, small and has very nice sites. Our site was 23. It's located at the end of the peninsula right on the water. We did get a lot of wind off the lake one night, but the rest were very calm. There is poison ivy on the trail to the water so watch for that! The showers were freezing, but it sounds like they're going to upgrade their system so let's hope this includes warm water for thr showers! I'll definitely stay here again.

Booked site 20 and it was perfect for tenting. The small beach is next to site 19 so it was easy to walk to and access the lake.
LB’s and Lulu
Well, we found out that Lulu is not a waterdog! She had no interest in a swim. Our campsite was about 20 feet from Leech Lake and had a small beach area where we parked our chairs and relaxed. Seemed as is we were transported to an island paradise! PS Wear bug repellent!! There’s also a grass and beach area open to all campers. Electric available at your site. Sewer hookup/ water available at a location near the middle of the campground and is well maintained.

No complaints. Campground was clean, bathrooms flushed and were stocked. Boat launch was nice, boat harbors fine with a fishing boat, campground hosts friendly and helpful. Lovely place to stay.
Mark Bavier
Nice quiet campground with electric only hookups. Does have dump station and water spickets for filling water tanks. Some sites (reserved) are on the water. Restrooms and showers are clean.
Brenda Thorstad
Very well kept campground. Each lot is very grassy and has a lot of space and mature trees. The beach is sandy and clean, very nice. The bathrooms are decent, but the showers are nice.
