Owner Mark Weber comes with vast knowledge and experience in the camping industry. For the past eight years he has owned and has run over six different campgrounds and resorts in Minnesota and currently is invested with Pine Haven Resort on Black-Water Lake in Longville MN and Cokato RV Resort on Cokato Lake in Minnesota. Mark knows what it takes to bring tourism into a northern destination. “I’m not afraid to make investments and improvements to bring revenue up for the campground and community.” Mark stated. “I am definitely planning on adding more amenities and activities to make stays here more enjoyable for our guests.” “We are in this for the long haul and want Hi-Pines to be a top pick for campgrounds in the Eagle River Area.”
Hi-Pines Campground is now in its sixth season with 150 sites so far. The campground features a large snack bar, firewood, ice, large entertainment patio, coffee nook, gift shop, laundry room and arcade. Guests and public are welcomed to come down to our clubhouse to enjoy homemade pizzas, sit at the bar, or get a scoop of ice cream with 16 flavors of Kemps to choose from. For outdoor recreation, take a walk or bike ride around the grounds on our gravel trails, play a game of volleyball, horseshoe or just read a book by sand and water.
With new ownership at Hi-Pines, has brought many new improvements which our campers are very excited to see. A beautiful large water fountain and two new paddleboats have been added for guests to use at the pond. The playground area has been upgraded and has a new basketball court.
