"Reviews and trip reports are largely positive: visitors praise the secluded, lakeside yurts with great water views, solid warmth from the woodstoves in winter, and park-provided firewood. Common issues are related to access and logistics (the roughly 2-mile approach in winter, route-finding in the dark) and limited indoor cooking options."

Best Time to Camp at Remote Yurt Campground

From late summer through autumn, the paddle across Annie Battle rewards you with excellent fishing and a front-row seat to Minnesota's legendary fall colors reflected in mirror-calm water. When snow blankets the landscape, the experience transforms entirely—groomed trails welcome cross-country skiers and kicksledders to glide through a winter wonderland to your insulated yurt, where park-provided firewood awaits. Spring and late fall bring their own quiet beauty, though muddy trails and unpredictable ice mean these shoulder seasons are best left to the most flexible adventurers.
