Amazing campground, perfect balance of amenities, and true nature!! The owners are great people!

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.

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.
