Knife Island Campground is locally owned, set in a natural, wooded, grassland state throughout the sites. 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.

September has its perks. 🍎🍐 Our apple and pear trees are loaded! Campers, consider this your invitation to snack.

September already?! 🍂

Honestly, this might be one of our favorite times of year. Campfires feel a little better, sweatshirts come back out…and a cozy cabin sounds pretty good. 😊

Today marks the halfway point of our camping season at Knife Island. 🏕️ How did that happen already?!

We’ve had so many beautiful days, campfires, paddles down the river, and visits from new and familiar faces. The best part is…we still have half a season to go! 💚

Here’s to making the most of every bit of it.
