A Resort Built Around Family

The Downes’ family enjoyed camping while raising their children. It was the best thing we did, enjoying family and God’s beautiful creation together. We wanted others to enjoy it as well, so we bought Aspen Resort & Campground, here in Northern Minnesota, doing what we enjoy and sharing the outdoor experience. Our guests become like family that we see during the summer season, catching up and making new memories. We strive to make it a good time whether camping or in a cabin, it’s all about family and friends together, sitting around the campfire, watching the dragon flies and night hawks fly beneath the stars.
