Enjoy nature in comfort!

Cabin camping is more comfortable than tent camping, and Minnesota is the perfect place to do it. Outdoors writer Tom Watson shares what he’s learned while personally visiting and inspecting 98 camper cabins throughout the state. Get firsthand advice about each site, including cabin ratings, features, amenities, park highlights, and more. Most camper cabins are open to the public and situated in wild places like Jay Cooke and Forestville/Mystery Cave state parks. Plus, there’s a special section on yurts, a unique camping option. With this great guide, you’ll be out in nature but with a solid roof overhead―and maybe even a porch to view your own slice of paradise. It’s easy to hike, paddle, camp, and enjoy Minnesota’s pristine lakes, deep forests, and wild rivers right outside your camper cabin’s front door.

Area activities/attractions: Nearby attractions include an 18-hole golf course, Bunker Beach Waterpark, an archery range, and riding stables. There is also a network of biking and hiking trails throughout the park.

Notes: The classic rustic interiors of these cabins glow thanks to the golden hues of the pine log furnishings. From the bedposts to the table leg and everything in between, these are some of the most beautiful camper cabins in Minnesota, and they are as solid, secure, and comfy as they first appear. The layout is a standard floor plan offering table/benches and two sets of bunk beds. Large lights over each bunk add to the brightness, creating a warm glow reminiscent of a small fireplace. The cabins are situated among the campsites in the Rustic Loop camping section, a more spacious and woodsy arrangement of sites within the larger campground complex. Located just beyond the outer edge of the suburban ring around the Twin Cities, the oaks and pine-forested hills.
