SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Bluff Valley Campground sits along the Zumbro River in Zumbro Falls, Minnesota, drawing campers who want direct water access rather than a view from a distance. Sites range considerably in size, with premium river-front spots like 161 and 162 allowing parallel parking along the bank and a buffer from neighboring campers. The campground is large enough that layout and site selection matter, and arriving with a specific site in mind tends to pay off.

River access is the consistent draw here. Tubing is popular, and on weekends the water sees steady activity from both campground guests and day visitors. The campground has a pool, playground, driving range, and arcade, and weekend programming includes live music. Cell reception is reportedly choppy and degrades further on busy weekends, so downloading maps and any needed information before arriving is worth doing. One reviewer notes the campground is "right on the river," which holds true for the premium field sites closest to the water.

Full hookups with electric, water, and sewer are available, along with a dump station and new showers near the main entrance. Older bathroom facilities elsewhere on the property have drawn some comments. A small on-site restaurant exists, though hours appear inconsistent based on visitor reports. Reservations are available and recommended for river-front sites, especially around holidays. Discounts sometimes apply in the week before Memorial Day weekend. Pets are welcome. Campers planning a longer stay in the region can also look at Ponderosa or Tilley's RV Park as nearby alternatives. Stock up on supplies before settling in, as the nearest gas station requires a dedicated trip.

Great site!

Pretty good site. Cool playground, pool is a little small and no wifi. Phone reception is choppy and worse on the weekends. Many different-sized sites. Right on the river. Great tubing. Weekend activities are very fun and the concerts are always fun, the band rocks.

Awesome place

I have stayed here a couple times before memorial day and after. I tent camped by the river. #67 is extra large and perfect. Electric and water was $35/night for electric and water for a weekday. Bathrooms near by need updated. But brand new showers by main entrance. Very clean, nice staff. They have a little restaurant that I saw but didn't eat or see open.

This is the prettiest campground I've been to so far in this area. But there is a lot of construction so watch your maps. 1 mile was 15 miles bc of an important road closure. Get everything you need before you settle. A gas station alone is a trip.

So beautiful

We go to this campground once a year - week before Memorial Day Weekend. They offer a discount then, so we get the premium spots down by the river for a good price. We like spots 161 & 162 as you can park parallel with the river and nobody bothers you. It is just beautiful. I hear it becomes kind of a party place during the year, but we have not experienced that.

River front

Bluff Valley camp ground is a large camp ground. The premium sites are larger than average and have electric/water hook ups. For the last 3 years we have stayed river front in the "field" and really enjoy it. They have a pool, video games, driving range and park but the draw from this camp ground for us is sitting in the river and relaxing watching the tubers go by.
