What is Sauna Camp?
We offer a unique sauna and cold plunge experience that is unlike any other with natural lake ice plunges and up to 8 wood fired saunas on the shore in Independence, Minnesota. While we may carry the name "camp," we are not a traditional camping facility but do have cabins on site that are available for reserving ahead of time. "Camp" is a state of mind for us, taking inspiration from our own Summer Camp experiences to create a fun and human centric feeling just like you remember from your childhood summer camp days.
We provide scheduled 2-hour sauna sessions every week Thursday-Sunday all winter long that allows you to unwind, detoxify, and connect with others surrounded in nature.

Proximity to airport / city center / restaurants
Independence, Minnesota is a suburb on the west side of Minneapolis. We are about 40 minutes from the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport and ~30 minutes from the Minneapolis city center.
There are hundreds of amazing restaurants in Minneapolis, hotels, and plenty of other activities for you and your group.
Two-Hour Sessions
Our sauna sessions are designed to maximize your relaxation and wellness. Each booking window lasts for two hours, providing ample time for you to enjoy the heat, rejuvenate your body, and cleanse your mind. Most people will only really need about 60 minutes of sauna time, but we like to take things a little slower and let our guests enjoy the day.
Whether you prefer to sit in the sauna, cool off in the refreshing water, or simply relax and socialize with fellow sauna enthusiasts, you can take your time doing what feels right to you.
Reservations Required
To ensure a personalized and comfortable experience for everyone, reservations are required for our sauna sessions. This allows us to manage the number of participants and start saunas accordingly. We recommend booking your session in advance to secure your spot, as our sessions can fill up from time to time. Simply visit our booking platform to book your public day pass or reserve your private sauna.
