    I love this place, a modern playground, on the water, next to a nice little swimming beach, just…read moredown the path from a boat rental shop, all on a point on the lake. They had a huge wind storm this summer that walloped down a lot of trees, including one that unfortunately fell on a very stylish wood picnic shelter, but this didn't diminish the park much.

    Located directly adjacent to the campus of Bemidji State University (basically as far east as you…read morecan go of the stadium), I spent some time at Diamond Point Park on a recent visit to the area. Categorically speaking: Location: 5 out of 5 I imagine that if I were a student at BSU, this would be a great place to host some picnics or events. It's close to the campus and there's lots of free parking on premises. Amenities: 4 out of 5 This city park was really nice - there were some recent storms that had damaged one of the gazebo/pavilion type structures, but I imagine that once that debris is cleared away, it would be quite pleasant to host a covered picnic there. There are clean restroom facilities onsite, and several more uncovered picnic table areas in addition to the gazebo/pavilion area that I think is available to rent. Vending machines are available, as is a little facility on the water that rents out paddleboards and bikes. There is a swimming area (no lifeguards though), and some modern playground structures that looked like they were getting good use. There's a main building by the entrance, but I'm not entirely certain what's in there since I didn't go up that way. There are lots of chairs and benches by the waterfront, and once you settle into one of them - it'll be hard to get up and leave. I recall most of the walking trail along the waterfront to be paved, but there might be one section towards the "tip" of the diamond where it's gravel. Lots of open grassy areas exist, so families wanting to play whiffleball, soccer, etc. should be fine. They have horseshoe pits set up with the stakes, which was a nice touch. Scenery: 4 out of 5 The park itself is beautiful, and surrounded by Lake Bemidji - made for a very picturesque setting. It won't blow you away like, "Wow, this is totally awesome!" but again - it is very pretty. When you look out across the park and see people paddleboarding on the water, it's a fun sight. . Overall: 4 out of 5 Great location and great amenities should provide you and your family with full days of fun. This would be my "go to" park if I lived or went to school in the area.

    Wonderful gem of a campground. Located on Fox Lake, it's tucked away from some of the larger…read morecampgrounds but offers a wonderful family feel, well-maintained campsite, and excellent rates. I can't remember the last time we stayed at a campground where nearly everyone was outside and enjoying the activities offered by the recreation area: swimming, boating, complimentary canoes, kayaks, volleyball courts and lawn games. The campground feels exceptionally safe, and well tended. You're guided to your campsite upon arrival and all the amenities you might need are available for purchase including firewood, ice, and laundromat facilities. While the spaces may be a little tight there's pretty view Of the lake to enjoy and a real old fashion neighborly type of vibe. Not an iPhone or electronic device to be seen! Everyone was out actually playing, doing things, and talking to each other. There's plenty of wildlife to be seen, and not to be disappointed we saw one of the largest freshwater turtles we ever seen in our life of visiting here. Campground offers fish cleaning facility and anything you need to wrap and prepare your fish for a tasty dinner at the campsite. We are fortunate to have found this campground and hope to return again in the future. Nearby bike paths offer plenty of recreation outside the campground as well. Proximity to downtown Is less than 10 minutes with plenty of restaurants, shopping, and sightseeing.

    Enjoy the very best of both worlds when you book your vacation at the Fox Lake Campground, which is…read morethe perfect vacation resort!

You really can have it all here, so book your site today and enjoy your spring, summer, or fall by the beautiful Fox Lake. I can't wait to go back and say another huge THANKS to Amanda and Mark for creating such a perfect vacation paradise.

    It's probably the most expensive camping trip we've ever taken. And we were only 30 miles from…read morehome. Lots of hidden charges on our bill that no one could explain. Paid double for the wood we used, paid double for the kayaks 2 of my children used. When questioned, the owner got snappy and rude. The camper sites are small if you have any sort of camper with any slide outs, there is very little room to play with out feeling like you are spying on the camper next to you. The campground is for sale. We will not consider coming back until it sells and there are new owners.

You can have your site all set up, landscaped, and…read morefeel settled, but if you don't spend at least two thirds of your weekends there, spend money in her store for overpriced ice cream and Walmart apparel, she will not renew your site for the next year. 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
