Some mention

mosquitoes

"Reviewers consistently praise Franz Jevne for its secluded, mossy, riverfront setting and quiet, private campsites; they describe it as a small 'hidden gem' and ideal for solitude. Common negatives are unreliable water spigots/limited water access, rustic/limited facilities (vault toilets only, no showers), mosquitoes in summer, and occasional maintenance issues on trails and toilets."

Best Time to Camp at Franz Jevne Campground

The campground truly shines from late spring through summer, when the forest erupts in green, mushrooms carpet the woodland floor, and wild blueberries ripen for the picking. Fair warning: mosquitoes can be fierce during peak summer, so savvy campers recommend visiting in late spring or early fall for the same lush beauty with fewer buzzing companions. Since seasonal dates vary, check the park's official webpage or ParkFinder before planning your trip to ensure the campground is open.

Summer(Jun-Aug)
4.0 / 5

Popular for camping in reviews; quiet, green woods suggest very pleasant summer stays.

Best
Fall(Sep-Nov)
4.0 / 5

Wooded, river setting likely makes for good fall colors and quiet camping, though not explicitly noted.

Spring(Mar-May)
3.0 / 5

Spring brings green, mossy conditions mentioned, but may be muddy/buggy; limited direct info.

Winter(Dec-Feb)
2.0 / 5

No winter info; Minnesota winters likely limit camping comfort and services at a rustic park.

Planning Tips

    About Franz Jevne Campground

    Tucked along the wooded south bank of the Rainy River, Franz Jevne Campground offers an intimate escape into primordial forest where moss-draped sites nestle among ancient rock formations. This small, rustic gem features secluded campsites—several perched right above the river with sweeping views toward Canada—though you'll need to reserve ahead and come prepared for basic facilities.
    A small, rustic state park campground best suited to tent camping and smaller RVs; includes a couple of electric sites and some walk-in/adirondack-style shelter sites.
