Big Winnie Store RV Park & Campground

Big Winnie Store RV Park & Campground sits in Bena, Minnesota, requiring a drive to reach Lake Winnibigoshish boat launches rather than offering direct waterfront access. The family-owned operation maintains its grounds carefully and operates a historic general store that dates back nearly a century and holds a spot on the National Register of Historic Places.

Full RV hookups run $35 per night while tent sites cost $20, and the property includes a playground, laundry facilities, and walking trails throughout the grounds. Campers can find basic supplies at the on-site store and choose between standard campsites or vintage cabins.

Camping at historic location

The quality of this campground is really a 4, however the location is a little  bit out of the way for doing day trips, exploring and access to the Chippewa National Forest. It is not on Lake Winnie, so you have to drive to a boat landing to launch your watercraft, and there is swimming at a nearby beach but it is not on the premises. However, the grounds are meticulously maintained and the camping prices cant be beat--$20 a night for tent camping, and $35 a night for full RV campsite with hookups. There is a playground. laundry facilities, and full bathrooms. There are also many walking trails on the premises. The general store on the premises provides staples and treats. If you prefer, there are also vintage cabins you can stay in here. Best of all, staying here supports a local family business including their painstaking efforts to maintain an hisotric general store and vintage vacation spot that was established almost a century ago and is on the National Register of Historic Places.
