Camp
Salie
Camp Salie is located in Linwood
Township in northeastern Anoka County. Acres of pine forest, a creek and
wetlands provide the perfect setting for nature studies and other outdoor
activities. Camp Salie lies within Martin-Island-Linwood
Lakes Regional Park (Linwood Township) which includes a
nearby picnic
area, trails, playground, open play area and beach. To the right is a photo of the
dining hall building.
Camp facilities consist of
Jacob Hall (a
combination dining-recreation hall with kitchen and fireplace), four camper
cabins for 12 people each, one camp staff cabin, and a modern shower/restroom
building (to the right is a photo of the kitchen area inside the dining hall
building). The camp area
received a new boardwalk in 1998 that crosses a swamp/marsh for access to other
trails winding through mature forests.
The photo to the right shows three of
the four camper cabins. Each camper cabin has 12 beds and an electric heating
unit for use during the colder months (sorry, no air conditioning here).
Call the Bunker
Hills Activity Center Building at 763-757-3920 with questions
regarding a use of Camp Salie by your own private group. The rental rate
is $5 per person with a $100 per day minimum fee. A $200 damage deposit is
also required. Rental is at no charge for 4-H activities.
A
short walk from the cabins and dining hall is an outdoor gathering area with firepit
(shown in the photo to the right). This is a perfect place to have your
evening campfire talks and make s'mores. Firewood is on-site and included
with your reservation fee.
Camper
cabin interiors are rustic (see photo to the right). They provide shelter
from the weather and a cozy sleeping area. We anticipate that
your group will be spending a large amount of time out-of-doors enjoying the
scenery and hiking trails or gathering in Jacob Hall.
