To reach this campground on an island in the middle of Lake Belle Taine, you have to take turns on a one-way road across the water. Thanks to this seclusion, the place has maintained a timeless appeal with lakefront campsites, a beach and plenty of places to anchor a fishing boat. 19478 Edgewater Dr., Nevis; 612-799-6329; campersparadise-mn.com
