Camp Itasca

Camp Itasca is a nice private park only a few minutes from the north entrance to Itasca State Park and the Mississippi River headwaters. We stayed two nights. Most of the sites are not shaded in the midday, but there are woods and shade nearby. The street is gravel and the sites are dirt. Despite that, I gave the park 4 stars because it is pleasant and the host is super friendly. The park was quiet. Has a lot of permanent/ long-term campers. Stayed in back-in campsite#23 which was not shady and a little unlevel side to side. It was a dirt site with some grass on either side. There was enough parking for my 34 TT and truck. The site included: picnic table on grass and fire ring. Electric, water and sewer were in the rear. 20A/30A/50A electric. Sewer was not threaded. Neighbors are close. AT&T had 2 bars of LTE and Verizon 4 bars of LTE service. AT&T Speedtest: 27.1 Mbps down, 0.64 Mbps up. Verizon Speedtest: 190 kbps down, 12 Mbps up. Free WiFi: 140 kbps down, 2.6 Mbps up. Would stay here again. We camped at Camp Itasca in a Travel Trailer.

We stayed at Camp Itasca for the Pioneer Farmers Show which was just across Highway 200.

Itasca State Park is two minutes away. A great bar for dinner is Lobos which is about three miles away.

Camp Itasca is a small hidden treasurer. It has permanent RV spots, full/partial hookup sites, and tent spots.

Our spot was in the trees with electricity. The spot was big enough for or 21’ trailer, my pickup, and my inlaws van. It had a picnic table and fire pit.

It was clean, quiet, family-oriented, and very affordable. The owner was very pleasant and easy to work with.

You can find almost anything you need within 5 mins of the camp if not in the camp.

They do have wifi but we didn’t use it. My router read it as weak? Verizon cellular serve was great!

We had no problems and we would recommend it to anyone that wants a nice quiet experience.

No last thing. They only do reservations over the phone.
