About Franz Jevne Campground

Natural Features and ScenerySmall, very quiet park set in **118 acres of undisturbed northwoods** on the south bank of the Rainy River, directly across from Ontario, Canada.[3] The landscape includes open hardwood floodplains, mossy rock outcrops, and mixed stands of aspen, pine, and fir, giving it a lush, very green, almost "backwoods" feel in summer.[3][2] Many campsites are close to the river or have short paths down to it, and several reviews highlight the peaceful river soundscape and views across to Canada as the defining feature.[1][2][3] The setting is heavily wooded and shady, which keeps things cool but also increases mosquitoes in season.[1][2] A prominent ancient rock outcropping rises above the park and can be reached by trail; it’s noted as a key scenic and geologic feature dating back millions of years.[3][1] Overall, campers describe the park as rugged, secluded, and very green, more about quiet nature and river scenery than developed facilities.[1][2][3]

Good to know

Common complaints• **Limited and rustic facilities:** Frequent comments note **no showers**, only vault toilets, and sometimes non-functioning or distant water sources, leading to frustration for campers expecting more developed infrastructure.[1][2] • **Maintenance issues:** Some TripAdvisor users mention that portions of the park looked **poorly maintained**, with fallen trees not cleared, a vault toilet needing a good cleaning, and overgrown trails.[1] • **Mosquitoes:** Multiple reviewers warn of **plentiful mosquitoes** in the shady lower campground and wooded areas during summer.[1][2] • **Lack of on-site firewood sales:** At least one camper was disappointed that **firewood was not sold** in the park, which complicated campfire plans.[1] • **Limited things to do on land:** One reviewer notes that aside from a few nice river views, there was "not much of interest on land," indicating that those seeking extensive trail networks or varied land-based recreation might find the park limited.[1] • **Hard to find rock outcrop / unclear trails:** A TripAdvisor user reports failing to find the rock outcropping the park is known for, due to overgrown or poorly marked trails, which can be a letdown for visitors seeking that feature.[1]
