Minnesota about 200 miles north of Minneapolis MN. North Star is surrounded by state (Bowstring) and National (Chippewa) Forests. Its approximately 832 acres in size. It deepest part is 90 feet with about a 30 foot average. It has about a half dozen family and fishing resorts with scattered private homes. When fishing, anglers can expect to catch a variety of fish including Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Muskie, Northern Pike, Rock Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Walleye, Yellow Bullhead, Yellow Perch, Pumpkinseed. You can expect to see a variety of wildlife in and around the lake. From Loons, Eagles, Heron, Hawks and hummingbirds all the way up to deer, caribou, black bear and even an occasional moose and even timberwolf. Some spectacular sunrises and sunsets are often the normal. And I've even seen the Northern Lights a couple times. They call this area "The Edge of the Wilderness" and they're right. No traffic, no hustle and bustle just a great place to unwind, relax and enjoy the peace and quite of your surroundings. Even if the fishing is not as good as you like, I guarantee you will come back relaxed and rejuvenated.

If anyone would like to see the letter she mailed to my 87 year old father, who had been a seasonal for over 15 years and who's wife was on Hospice and just recently passed away, let me know and I would be happy to share the eviction letter he got from her. My dad didn't spend a lot of time at his seasonal site last year, because he was taking care of my mother. Now that she has passed, he doesn't have his seasonal site to enjoy this year and beyond. My dad loved the campground and the previous owners. PLEASE DO NOT SUPPORT THIS CAMPGROUND OR MICHELLE FUSSY THE OWNER, There are plenty of beautiful campgrounds in the area to support. I would give her a negative 10 review if I could. I put this same review on last fall, but was forced to remove it because she purposely overcharged by dad's electric bill and would only agree to his calculation if I took my review off here. THIS CAMPGROUND OWNER IS DECEITFUL

They are not trying to hide anything. Night crawlers come in live styrofoam containers in 1 or 2 dozen choses. I am not a minnow connoisseur but they looked lively and schooled up with lots of type and size s to chose from. They have all the other sundries as well; bait hardware, rod Maintenace items and even maps and shirts. Staff is polite and helpful with out being pushy. That is always a bonus item to me.

You can stop for gas, but if you go inside, they will have more than you could think of. They have live bait. They have lots of plastic bait. I found the bargain bin for something fun to fish with. The funny thing was that we kept asking if they knew about the local lake we were fishing at, and they didn't really know anything about it. So they weren't that helpful finding the fish.

The facilities were spotless. The price was reasonable. The sunset view from our campsite was across a lovely lake. We were right across from the bathrooms, and it was surprisingly quiet.

We didn't leave until 3:00, well past check out time. I highly recommend this campground. And don't miss the Akeley museum while you're in town. It's an easy walk from the campground.
