Here is a time lapse video of the first day of work. I will try to post updates as time allows.- Jim A
Here is a list of construction projects in the area that may affect travel time to and from the campground. If you are coming up from the Cities, might be best to avoid 169 if you can.
Replace box bridge over the Marmon Creek between 327th Pl. and 325th Ave. in Malmo, Aitkin County. Project requires a detour.
Resurface and improve five miles of Hwy 169 from south of Garrison at Crow Wing County Road 26 to north of Garrison at Pike Avenue; includes roundabout at Hwy 18, new storm sewer and sidewalk in Garrison.
Improve access and safety at the intersection with a new roundabout.
Sherburne County to construct a new interchange at Hwy 169 and Co. Rd. 4 between 255th Ave. and 269th Ave. in Zimmerman. This partnership project includes local road and sidewalk improvements.
Improve the four-lane segment of Hwy 210/Washington St. from Baxter Dr. to Pine Shores Rd. in Brainerd, Crow Wing County; includes upgrades to the Mississippi River bridge and sidewalks.
The board meeting that was originally scheduled to be held on March 29, 2026 at 11:00 AM, has been moved to March 22, 2026 at 11:00 AM.
Congratulations to Charlie, Doreen, and Ed on their election to the Board of Directors. Thank you to Sean and Troy for their time and contributions while serving on the Board.
Snow and cold weather came early this year, as such, the septic project will be done in the spring of 2026. The shower house is closed for the season and will not reopen until the septic project is completed. The same for turning water on to the sites.
In other news, you can now submit lot alteration requests online as well as seasonal rental and membership applications.
I hope everyone has a great holiday season and look forward to seeing you all next year.
Jim Apple
President, HLCCA
Everything at the campground is closed up and put away for the winter with the exception of the showerhouse. I am still awaiting confirmation on the status of the septic tank replacement project, barring any changes in that, the showerhouse will close for the year on November 15th.
The 2025 HLCCA Election is underway, please check your email for your secure link to your ballot. Please make sure to vote. The election closes on November 16th.
There will be a board organizational meeting as well as a normal board meeting in the week following the election, more details will be posted once the winners are announced and schedules can be coordinated.
Thank you to everyone for a great 2025, and I hope you all have a great holiday season to close out the year.

With cooler weather arriving, the heaters in the bathrooms and laundry room will be turned on this weekend. Please remember to close the doors behind you to help keep these areas warm.
The pool is still open but the heater has been turned off. The pool will close for the season Sunday September 14th.
Additionally, the docks are scheduled to be removed from the water on October 11th. I confirmed Bobcat operator Larry’s availability for that date yesterday, so weather permitting, we should be all set. As always, we will need volunteers to assist with this task. Please let us know if you are able to help out.
The following weekend (October 18/19) will be fall grounds cleanup on Saturday and water off to sites on Sunday, volunteers will be needed for these dates as well.
Road restrictions usually take effect on October 15th every year, this year we will probably push that out a week (weather dependent). If you are removing your camper for the winter please have it removed prior to October 22, after that date please check with the board first.
As always, if you have any questions please feel free to reach out via email.
The board meeting originally scheduled for September 14, 2025 at 10:00 AM has been moved to September 21, 2025 at 10:00 AM.
A change machine that accepts dollar bills has been installed in the Game Room so we are now able to get quarters for games and laundry. The green lights on the dollar bill feeder indicates that the machine has enough quarters to make change. If the lights are yellow it does not have enough. If the machine does run out of quarters or malfunctions please alert staff so they can service the machine.
Notice: A special board meeting will be held at 9:00 AM on Saturday August 2nd, 2025 to appoint a new Treasurer to the HLCCA Board of Directors.
