NO FLOATPLANE REQUIRED. When World War II ended, the pilots who had flown missions over Europe pointed their planes north — toward the Quetico-Superior wilderness, the Boundary Waters, and the remote lakes of the Canadian border country. By the late 1940s, Ely, Minnesota was the largest freshwater seaplane base in the United States, with up to 38 flights daily carrying canoeists into the backcountry. A generation hungry for wildness after years of war found it in the deep forest.
This luxury tent captures that spirit, curated with historic Boundary Waters tourism posters and canoe country décor as part of POV Resort's LIVING HISTORY MUSEUM OF CAMPING — AMERICA'S FIRST. Nestled in the trees with a stunning view of the Northwoods, it's the closest thing to the Canadian wilderness without crossing a border.
THE SPACE Inside: a queen bed and full futon — sleeping 4 comfortably. No appliances or running water inside. A POV Power Station — included with your rate — runs lights, phone chargers, laptops, fans, CPAP machines, and other low-draw devices.

A propane space heater is provided — bring or purchase 1 lb canisters in our self-serve store (one gets you through the night).

____________________________________ BATHROOMS & WATER
The campground boasts a air-conditioned restroom trailer with four private bathrooms with sinks, hot showers, and toilets. We clean it twice daily. A water station is available on the exterior of the bathhouse.
____________________________________ ORIENTATION TO GROUNDS
Nature and the deep woods are THE place to be - we are excited to host you at the resort! Coadys' Point of View Lake Resort & Campgrounds is open and following the state's health and safety directive for lodging and camping businesses, working to further ensure your stay is as healthy and as fun as can be! We have purposely kept our campgrounds rustic to minimize disturbing the woods - we took down as few trees as possible to keep the forest intact.
Glamping at POV isn't typical Northwoods seclusion - our campsites are cozy but not as close to each other as an RV park. We feel the amenities on-site and the beauty of the forest and surrounding area more than make up for the snug nature of the campgrounds. With this goal, there isn't enough turnaround for most RVs, travel trailers, and boat trailers in the campgrounds.
____________________________________ PETS
Pets are not allowed in the campgrounds to keep sounds to a minimum.
____________________________________ QUIET HOURS
POV is a family-oriented campgrounds, and we ask everyone respect the relaxing nature of the woods. Quiet hours are from 10pm to 8am daily. That being said, while we are in the national forest, keep in mind we are not a completely super secluded area where you won't hear anyone ever...
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

The property was very nice and well-maintained. We are renting a unit next July and wanted to check it out this weekend. We stayed in one of the retro campers and it was a really neat experience. Bathroom facilities are all clean and the game room and store Facilities were really nice. The owners were on site and were very accommodating and other staff was very pleasant and helpful. We appreciate all that they did for us.
When searching for a weekend get-away, POV Resort popped up. We are so glad it did. Our daughter wanted to tent camp but mom and dad wanted a bed. This was the perfect compromise. Cozy, rustic property yet has all the necessities. We rented one of the pontoon boats too and got to explore the beautiful lake. All staff interactions were friendly and pleasant. Great place.

Camping for youngsters
We were looking for a quieter setting off the road more. You can hear a lot of traffic noise. The quiet hours are adhered to and the accommodations are adequate. The beach and lake were disappointing to use a well. We were expecting a quieter lake for kayaking and relaxing. There are quite a fee power boats and it doesn't have no wake zones. Shower and restrooms were clean and stocked daily. A lot of young kids and families which we were beyond so it was not the resort for us. They tent was super cool and well stocked for clamping. Wasn't our scene for being one with nature.
it was our first time camping with our toddler so we were pretty nervous. we booked a luxury tent to ease into it vs throwing him into our usual camp style of cramming into a 2 person tent! our stay was perfect! they had the option to rent a heater & a power bank. that was a game changer! we were able to keep our toddler warm & have a sound machine. we all slept great! the bathroom set up was perfect & they were extremely covid conscious which i was really appreciative of. we will definitely be back!
This camping experience was phenomenal! The tent was spacious, clean and very comfortable! The bed was fantastic and so was the futon. So many great amenities and the owners were great to work with as well! I have already recommended this resort to others!
Great place for families, clean and friendly, good fishing. Would definitely be interested in staying there again.

About the host
Hosted by Darren and Genevieve Coady
NEW OWNERS GENEVIEVE & DARREN In early 2018, we (Darren and Genevieve Coady) decided to go on a new adventure, take the plunge, and become America's next small business owners buying the resort formerly known as North Twin Lodge. We like to think of ourselves as caretakers of this wonderful resort that has and means so much to so many.
So what led us here? We have had much experience in camping. And we know a lot about vacationing. Darren has run a community center that hosts events, and Genevieve has a background in community planning and economic development. We have a son, Oliver, whom we want to bring up living a good life - knowing hard work but enjoying the relaxation of nature.
Bottom line, we felt it was time to do more to give back to others. Using our collective professional experience - thrown in with a dash of fun - our dream of owning a resort was born. When we found North Twin Lodge we fell in love with its history, its tradition of returning guests, and the lake. In October, 2018 we opened doors and haven't looked back.
As for the name change, Darren's childhood home was named "Coadys' Point of View" as it was on the end point of an overlook. With the resort having a walkway on the lake out to the point on the property, the Coadys' decided to keep the name for their future home.
Come visit the resort and become a part of the Point of View family - we look forward to meeting you and sharing in many memories to come!
