Facilities
Bath houses, laundry, the store and the rest
Two bath houses, four washers, a store that sells bait and propane, and an honest answer about the wi-fi.
Washing
Bath houses and laundry
Two buildings
Bath houses
12 showers — six in each building — and 14 toilets across both. Showers are free with no timers. Open 24 hours to registered guests behind coded doors; the code is on your packet. The north bath house is nearest the cabins, the south serves Loops C and D.
Hot water, heated in the shoulder season, private changing rooms, accessible stalls, a utility sink and a dish-washing station.
Attached to the south bath house
Laundry
4 washers and 4 dryers, $2.50 a wash and $2.00 a dry, open 7:00 am to 10:00 pm. Coin, card or app. Detergent, folding space, seating, wi-fi and accessible machines.
No drop-off service here. The Hollis Lake Laundromat on Highway 22, four miles away, does same-day wash-and-fold and is open 6:00 am to 10:00 pm.
Food and drink
The store, and the trucks on Friday
8:00 am to 8:00 pm daily in season
The camp store
Front of the office building, by the flagpole. Groceries, ice, firewood, RV supplies, propane, beer and wine, souvenirs, bait and coffee. Minnesota fishing licences are sold here.
Friday and Saturday, 5:00 to 8:00 pm
Food trucks
Two rotating trucks we book for the season, parked on the pavilion apron, Memorial Day through Labor Day. Wood-fired pizza on Fridays, a rotating truck on Saturdays. There is no restaurant or bar on the property — the village is four miles away and has two.
Camp kitchen
Communal grills, a camp kitchen and a coffee bar. Vending, ice, and propane by fill or exchange.
Catering
We do not cater. For events we keep a list of four caterers who have worked here before and know the pavilion kitchen, and you are welcome to bring your own licensed caterer instead.
Trash
Dumpsters at both bath houses, plus single-stream recycling. There is no trash pickup at the site.
Services
Connectivity and the practical stuff
Wi-fi
Free on every site and in every cabin, plus the pavilion and rec hall. 500 Mbps fiber to the property. Honest answer: it is strong near the office, the pavilion and Loops A and B, and thinner at the west end of Loop D and the rustic loop. Good enough to work; not always good enough for four people streaming.
Cell
Verizon is solid across the whole property. AT&T is good near the office and patchy at the west end. T-Mobile is weak everywhere here. No cable TV — over-the-air pulls in Duluth stations with an antenna.
Dump station and honey wagon
Dump station by the exit, free to registered guests and $20 for non-guests. Honey wagon is $30 a pump-out, or free once a week on stays of 14 nights or more. You need to be on site to hook up.
Shuttle
A 12-seat van runs into Hollis Lake village on Friday and Saturday evenings at 5:00 and 7:00, back at 8:00 and 10:00. Free to guests, first come first served. We will also run groups to the trailhead by arrangement.
RV and boat wash
At the wash bay by the shop only, $10. Not on your site — we are on a well and a drainfield.
Mail and packages
Held at the office for registered guests and seasonal sites. Address it to your name care of the resort.
EV charging
On the property, along with firewood delivery, ice delivery and a small business centre.
Firewood
$9 a bundle at the store or $45 for a face cord delivered. Minnesota law prohibits moving firewood more than 50 miles and we do check.
Accessibility
What is step-free
Four accessible sites — A2, C5, D3 and L6 — with paved pads and level paths to the bath house. Accessible restrooms, showers, cabins, paths and parking. Service animals are welcome everywhere on the property.
The pavilion and the rec hall are both step-free, which covers everything on the what’s-on calendar except the beach movie. The beach is reachable by a packed gravel path, but the last 20 ft is sand.
