    The owner John is super nice. The ice cream is delicious! Lemonbar is a must try! Mini golf was really fun too!

    My family stayed at this resort for about a week in June and it was a great experience. We stayed…read morein cabin 3, which allows dogs, and we had a great time! The owners of this resort are very nice and friendly. You can rent out one of their six cabins or a spots for an RV. They have a Lodge right away when you get to the resort where you can check in and out as well as buy beer on tap. They also carry other beverages, ice cream, convince items, and also a variety of other things. They also have free coffee there in the mornings. This resort is right on Leech Lake and has its own private boat ramp attached to their marina. Right by the marina, they also have a wood fired oven available for their guest to use, and you will definitely want to use it. While we stayed here, we used the wood fired oven twice and it was amazing. They also have canoes and kayaks for guests to use, which were very fun. They have a small beach for people and also a small dog beach. A lighthouse is also located by the dog beach area. Overall this was a great resort to stay at for vacation. It had everything we needed and you can't beat the location. Being able to sit in the morning and view the lake is truly great.

    Loved the Rustic cabin, I spent several days end of June & beginning of July. Very comfortable,…read morefelt like a little piece of heaven to me. Such an amazing country location. Cabin very clean and furnished with all the kitchen amenities necessary, a real plus for a Rustic cabin, plus air conditioning! Annie & her mom Sally wonderful hosts, thought of everything to make stay great at Rustic. And, drive in just beautiful, as is everything on this property, talented artists involved in making anyone's stay the best. At night beautiful mini-lights decorate trees, plants, driveways, and even outside Rustic cabin's porch and under it, plus mini-lights at outdoor biffy! What more could one want ... Many thanks from this 74 year old gal!

    I was married at Black Lantern last summer (2015) and I have so many good things to say I can't…read morepossibly say them all here. First and foremost, I've heard from an overwhelming number of guests how much they enjoyed the grounds and the beauty of the area, so much that they didn't mind the 4hr drive from the cities. The natural beauty of the area is emphasized here: native species surround you whether you are at the pavilion area, the campgrounds up around the loop, or even the open area of the RV park. There are also pretty little "hidden" places all over. Our photographers were thrilled about all the places to take photos- rock chairs, opennings in the woods, flowers planted here and there, sweet antique-looking benches, etc. The best part of Black Lantern though is the owner, Annie. She is just incredible. She was so thoughtful throughout the process and she was pretty much a wedding planner. She didn't mind talking to me about how weddings are put together and gave me contact info for decently priced vendors in the area. That was especially helpful as I am from Minneapolis and was contacting all the expensive vendors- oops. Annie took time to understand our style and vibe so that she could best help me plan an event that we wanted. She offered so much of her time before we even met to answer questions. She also has the uncanny ability to pop in at the right time- every time I needed her, she was there. She helped problem-solve for those things you don't plan on and offered a helping hand whenever it was needed. She chops all the wood and builds things, including amazing heart-shaped fires. What a badass woman! There was only one thing that was a disappointment at first- but then ended up being a blessing in disguise- we couldn't have our guests camp at the "campsites." Darn MN regulations. There isn't running water close enough to the loop to allow for campfires. Instead, we had all our guests camp in the RV park. It worked out wonderfully. This also allowed us to use one of the campsites as our ceremony site. Best decision we made. It couldn't have been a more perfect location for us. I didn't want to get married indoors, or even standing on cement. The clearing in the woods was large enough for 100 chairs and standing room for the other 60 people. The forest provided a breathtaking backdrop. Even a year later, when wedding-talk comes up, other people still bring up what an amazing venue Black Lantern is.

We enjoyed the swimming opportunities and never found them overly crowded. The facilities were beautiful and the kids enjoyed the activities. We really enjoyed our long weekend here.

If you are looking for a fun seasonal campground, I would strongly urge against staying here. The management has control issues, are very rude most of the time, and they will charge you extra for everything possible. We were on our 2nd season staying here as Full Time RVers. We have traveled to numerous campgrounds for weeks to months at a time, and have never been treated so poorly as we were at Birch Bay. Knowing that we lived there (and it was our home location), they kicked us out mid-season, giving us a week to leave without discussion. This, for doing absolutely NOTHING against the rules. We were up singing around a campfire with many friends (from the campground) on a Saturday night, up until quiet time, which was 11 PM at this time (as read in our contract. I see now that they have changed that to 10:30pm). At 10:59 PM the music was shut off. At 11:02, management called our cell phone and said, "Party is over...meet me in the office at 9AM", where they proceeded to say we needed to leave and had a week to do so. The last comment made from management was to "make sure your friends knew you are taking the fall!" Who does this?! A couple hours later, management did come back and offer us a different site back in the woods, but again, made a comment about making sure our friends stay away! So, not only did they kick us out without talking about noise levels acceptable during normal hours, they then wanted to control who and how many friends we hung out with! We left the next day! I wouldn't recommend this campground to my worst enemy. If you like to be controlled and treated poorly, this may be the campground for you. I know they will come back with a rebuttal as they always do too turn the blame against the camper, but how many times can they do this too campers before people see right through them.
