Good sites perched on the cliff, drive is for real steep but paved and they guide you up from their golf cart. Couldn’t be any nicer or more in the middle of Voyageurs?

In our years of RV travels, The Pines of Kabetogama is among the best RV resorts we have ever stayed at. Long story short, the resort itself provides direct access to Voyageurs National Park, is immaculately maintained, has top-shelf amenities, and the staff is terrific. You truly get what you pay for. After hours of driving, we just wanted to get to our site and settle in. Jeanne greeted us at the front office and was very kind, friendly, and helpful upon arrival. She treated us like family. Tom guided us to site number 21 on the upper level with a poured concrete pad with pristine full-hookups. We were pleasantly surprised at just how spread-out the sites were. There isn't a bad site in the entire resort. It comes down to what your preference is. Do you prefer the community experience? The sites on the lower level fill that preference. Spread out with more privacy? Reserve a site on the upper level. The restrooms were an unexpected surprise. They are absolutely spotless with granite countertops and glass bowl sinks!?! We didn't expect to walk into a luxury bathroom experience at an RV resort. The view of the sky at night was amazing. We didn't know this until we arrived and walked over to the Lake Kabetogama Voyageurs National Park Visitors Center that the park is Dark Sky Certified. Having direct shoreline access to Voyageurs National Park was the highlight for my family. As soon as you are on the water, you are in a National Park. If you have a boat, be sure and bring it along; otherwise, you can rent one from the resort and tour the lake. Tom informed us that if you have a motorhome RV, as we do, and you tow your boat, the staff will launch your boat for you. The resort has an extensive dock system with 16 slips by our count. In terms of wildlife, we were fortunate enough to see more deer than we could count, as well as several bald eagles and loons during our stay. There are on-site coin-operated washers and dryers, which we did not use, but are nice to know are available. If we were there for a more extended stay we would use them for sure. Even though we were not staying in the luxury cabins, the staff was kind enough to allow us to peek inside, and they are immaculate. The decor is iconic, and the finishing touches are high quality. They aren't like the other ramshackle bunkhouses with spring bed frames we've stayed at in the past. As I began my review, the resort provides direct access to Voyageurs National Park, is immaculately maintained, has top-shelf amenities, and the staff is terrific. You truly get what you pay for. We camped at The Pines of Kabetogama Resort in a Motorhome.

This is definitely on the high side of what we typically pay. However, there are not a lot of good options. Take in to consideration that it was 80 and at times smoke from Canada, we wanted full-hooks ups. We stay in the cliff side sites. When we arrived, it was pouring down rain. The golf cart said follow me. After a U turn, we started up a very steep paved hill (well, sort of paved as it needs some repair). After making it to the top of the hill (and I heart started beating) you make a left and once again another steep hill. Well we made it to the top! Sites are partial concrete pad, gravel and grass. There is a plastic picnic table and a fire ring. Site was mostly level. All utilities worked great. WiFi was really slow. There is some separation between sites, The views from the cliff were nice and there is a path down to the dock.

I read some bad reviews so I was very concerned. Turned out I didn’t need to be. Upper level has concrete slabs for campers and looking around didn’t’ see many leveling blocks. Bigfoot leveled no issues. Not far from the lake National Park Visitors Center. Steep walk to store, laundry, and docks. WiFi is okay but Campground staff told us it is subject to how busy the campground is and it did slow down with more campers here. But all in all, this place was very good.
