Stoney Point campground sprawls out over a peninsula which overlooks
the gigantic Leech Lake in the Chippewa National Forest. The campground
itself is located fourteen miles east of Walker, Minnesota. Leech
Lake is the third largest lake in the state of Minnesota at 99,999
acres.
Stoney Point is a highly developed campground with two boat harbors,
a swimming beach, a picnic area, fish cleaning station, electricity,
showers, dump station and a boat access site. The grounds are
relatively open and grassy with breezy old growth hardwood trees
filling in the spaces. Some of the trees are over two hundred
years old which adds a special feel to the campground. While the
sites are spacious, I would say privacy is just OK due to the
open nature of the campground.
Gigantic Leech Lake is quite the sight from the campground, seeming
to stretch on forever. For those interested in water based recreation,
this is a tough place to beat. The lake is big enough to find
solitude. The fishing is known to be first rate on top of everything
else. Although I found this campground very busy, it still seemed
like a nice place to stay. For those tenting, you may want one
of the more remote lakes in the forest as this seems to be mostly
an RV campground.
