Rough-N-It
A True Northern Minnesota Experience
About US
Inspired by a childhood that took place in the breathtaking boundary waters of Northern Minnesota, we want to share a similar experience with others. Walking through portages, hauling endless amount of camping gear, and trying to set up a tent in the rain is not for the faint of heart. However, our lives just wouldn't be the same without the summers we spent on the lakes of Northern Minnesota. We created a unique camping experience in the setting of a remote area, on beautiful Lake Vermilion, to provide you with the same life changing experience without the time, hard work, or money that it would cost you. We have ready to go campsites in the heart of Northern Minnesota with over 40 acres of untouched lake front property, giving you both the full outdoor experience combined with the ease and comforts of home. We furnish everything you need, so you can leave the worries behind. Whether you are looking for a place to relax with family and friends, self-reflection, or to reconnect with nature, this experience is exactly what you need. To learn more about our mission, what we do, and our property please continue to read more. You can also contact us directly with any questions you may have.
What Makes Us Special
Helping Others
Your tax-free donation is used to fully fund this unique camping experience for Veterans and their families, ensuring our Veterans have the opportunity to step away and enjoy time close to nature.
Unforgetable Memories
The best memories are not made watching TV. Rough-N-It allows Veterans and their families to disconnect from the hold of electronics, and really live once again. Nothing is more memorable than sitting around a fire telling stories, jumping into the lake, or sipping coffee surrounded by trees with the fresh morning breeze on your face. Our unique camping experience gives our guests everything they need to make memories that will last a life time.
Reconnect with Nature
Natural environments offer calming sensory experiences, support mindfulness, and fosters a sense of connection that refreshes the spirit. Our guests are invited to step away from the challenges in their everyday lives to reconnect with themselves and their families. Our beautiful campsites encourage slowing down to breathe the fresh air, listen to the loons, and glimpse the aurora lights if the conditions are just right!
