About the campground
Located near Hawley, MN
Lee Lake Campground is just a few miles east of Hawley, MN, and conveniently close to both Fargo/Moorhead and Detroit Lakes. It was established by Tom and Jeanette Erickson in 1981, and switched hands to us, Justin and Amanda Halvorson, in late 2017. We are a Ma-and-Pa style, privately owned, seasonal-only campground, with a family-friendly vibe! We boast large lots and plenty of open space, with hundreds of mature oaks, elms, maples, flowering fruit trees, and blue spruce, as well as varying vegetation in the many acres of woods! There are always different species of wildlife to be seen on the campground, and a large variety of fish and aquatic wildlife in the lake. The hills and views are breathtaking, and we are located directly on quaint Lee Lake, with 5 other small water bodies and ponds throughout the property. Call or e-mail us today to inquire about a unit for sale or open lot space.
Current Amenities
The campground has a swimming pool, laundry machines, and shower buildings for your convenience. There are also a couple playgrounds, large green space, some walking trails, kayaks, a volleyball court, frisbee golf course, picnic shelter, and horseshoe pits available for fun times with friends and family. We maintain a busy activity schedule with something for campers of all ages. We have a brand-new, modern lodge, offering exclusive shopping and food service for our campers.
Looking to the Future...
A campground-run dock system and fishing pier will be put along the shoreline within the next few years, freeing up space for a swimming area. We are constantly working on renovations to the older buildings on the grounds. Several other new amenities and updates are also in the works as our budget allows.
Announcements
As of the 2022 season, we are strictly a seasonal campground only. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
We are closed for the 2024 season, and will re-open on May 1, 2025. If you are interested in a tour or viewing open sites or units for sale, contact us to set up an appointment for a showing.
To all prospective buyers of units for sale: be aware that all final sales of seasonal sites MUST be approved by the campground owners beforehand, and it is important that you have read through in full and understand our policies. Contact us via phone or email. You must also pass a background check. Failure to contact & communicate with us before the final bill of sale may result in you being removed from the campground.
As newer owners (on a 40+ year old campground), renovations have been an on-going process for us as limited funds allow. Please excuse any construction or older buildings that are still in the process of being updated. Also, if you tour the campground in the fall, keep in mind that we are surrounded by farmland, so occasionally you may get a whiff of fertilizer--this only happens for about 1 or 2 random weeks out of the year, and is part of that "country living" sometimes!
Lee Lake Campground is a privately-owned property, and we are not open to the public for walk-throughs or drive-throughs without our knowledge and consent during our off-season (Oct 1 - Apr 30 every year). If you would like to tour the campground, we would gladly set up an appointment with you. We can be contacted via email, leelakecampground@gmail.com.
