Your Hosts

Welcome to Hoffman’s Oak Lake Campground

Along with two of our grown children, Alan and Diane, we welcome you to the Oak Lake Campground located in East Central Minnesota in northern Pine county!

Henry & Norma Hoffman

Henry is a 3rd generation Hoffman running the Oak Lake Campground- which was known in the 1920′s as the “Oak Lake Resort”. Henry and Norma took over the family business in 1969. Henry worked a “day job” for eight hours, then worked well into the evenings nearly every day and weekends to improve the campground until 1980 when he was able to commit to the campground exclusively. He still works from morning until dark and most that know him suspect it will be that way for a very long time to come still. Henry doesn’t consider all the work he does a job- it is his passion.

The campground grew continuously to the point where there are now approximately 160 sites. Most of these sites are full hookups and rented seasonally. Several great sites have been kept open to daily guests right down next to the water’s edge, including tenting sites. The lake offers excellent fishing for Walleye, Crappie, Sunfish, Pike, and Bass. There are three large docks located throughout the park. These docks are available for daily use parking in designated areas, and can be fished from responsibly. For seasonal guests, private docking is also available.

All sites come with a picnic table and fire ring. Wood is available at the lodge as well as many items including bait, tackle, concessions, light groceries, RV parts, and other related items. The lodge also has a game room as well as tables and chairs for board games, cards, eating, or whatever else you can think of doing inside!

The grounds feature a shower house w/laundry, playground, horseshoe pits, volleyball, basketball hoop, sandy beach, and a large trail system. The trail system is intended for hiking, biking, and even maintained for golf carts which are a common site here. Sorry, no four-wheelers. Four wheelers are plentiful here though. They are stored up by the lodge and often are seen heading to the Nemadji State Forest just two miles away, the largest state forest in the state of Minnesota. The best four wheeling trails are practically in our back yard!

Organized activities include wagon rides most weekends, and various games for kids and adults on specified weekends. We are also an RV sales and service facility. We have several units for sale in the park if you are looking to stay with us seasonally. We also occasionally have open seasonal sites available to move onto immediately. There is also a good chance you can schedule some service work to be done right on your site while you are enjoying the park.

You’ll find plenty to do or just relax when you come stay with us at our clean and quiet Campground on Oak Lake in east central Minnesota!
