Sauna Camp invites you to embrace Minnesota’s crisp winters in the most invigorating way possible. Nestled just outside Minneapolis, this community-driven oasis pairs toasty wood-fired cedar saunas with exhilarating plunges throug...
Danny and Sophie have built something genuinely special here. The vibe is warm, communal, and grounded in nature, with guests consistently raving about the sense of connection and the peaceful lakeside setting. The saunas are clean, hot, and well-maintained, and staff like Michael and Katie get called out by name for their attentiveness and genuine care. Season pass holders and first-timers alike tend to leave planning their next visit. A few practical things worth knowing before you go: the parking lot is about a quarter mile from the camp, and the bathrooms are back near the lot rather than at the sauna site itself. The staff does mention this upfront, but it's easy to forget on arrival. These are minor logistics, not dealbreakers, and most guests shrug them off entirely once they're settled in by the fire. Private bookings and group retreats are available, and reviews suggest the experience translates well across different group sizes and occasions. Cold plunging in the lake is part of the draw, though you can wade in gradually if a full plunge feels like too much. For anyone looking for a restorative outdoor experience that leans into Minnesota winters rather than hiding from them, this one consistently delivers.
We love Sauna Camp! The location is so peaceful and the staff and owners are awesome. This is the new go-to date night for my wife and I!
