Knife Island Campground

Welcome to Knife Island Campground! We're locally owned in Esko, MN. Come enjoy the outdoors! Located on the St. Louis River in Esko, MN.

Knife Island Campground is locally owned, set in a natural, wooded, grassland state throughout the sites. Set upon a fantastic geological classroom with the slate rock formations caused by the glaciers. It’s a historical landmine, and due to these facts, we do not allow any of these rock outcrops to be disturbed. We also do not allow any digging or burying of refuse, or the use of metal detectors.

We want to ensure that the natural beauty and historical elements are here and undisturbed for future generations to view and enjoy. We would also like to remind our guests that although we are nestled between a major freeway and highway, the wildlife is in abundance.

Big news in the Bear Hug Cabin! 🐻✨

We upgraded the bedroom and it now features a king bed plus full-size bunks — a much better fit for families. Plenty of room to spread out and relax after a day exploring.

Our cabin pricing is designed with longer stays in mind — the nightly rate drops when you stay 3 or more nights.

Just minutes from Duluth, but with that cozy Northwoods feel you won’t find at a typical hotel.

Planning a family getaway? We’d love to host you. 🌲
