About

Knife Island Campground is locally owned by Minardi Outdoors, set in a natural, wooded, grassland state throughout the sites. Located right on the St. Louis River in Esko, MN. 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. Having Jay Cooke State Park as our backyard and surrounded by many trails, there are plenty of miles to hike and natural features to see.
