Tubing, kayaking, and cycling all converge at Eagle Cliff Campground and Lodging, where the Root River runs directly alongside most of the sites. The campground rents tubes, kayaks, and canoes on-site, and provides a shuttle to the put-in so campers can float back down to camp. A paved multi-use trail connects the property to several nearby towns, making it a practical base for cyclists. Bald eagles, turtles, and other wildlife have been spotted from riverside sites, which reviewers consistently flag as the most sought-after spots on the property.
The grounds are well-maintained and the bath houses draw consistent praise for cleanliness. Sites are spread across a wide, grassy property with lush turf but limited tree cover between spots, so shade is minimal and neighbors are visible. As Patty M. notes, sites are "far enough apart for privacy" despite the open layout. Weekday stays tend to be quieter; the campground enforces quiet hours after 10 or 11 p.m. and staff take the rules seriously, including a 5 mph speed limit throughout the grounds.
Full hookups are available, including 50-amp electric, water, and sewer, with a dump station on-site. RVs up to 55 feet are accommodated, though some sites run tight for larger rigs. WiFi reaches campers near the office. Cell coverage has come up as inconsistent in reviews, so those who need reliable connectivity should plan accordingly. A small general store stocks basic supplies, and the campground has been known to lend out extension cords when needed.
Eagle Cliff runs from mid-April through late October, with reservations available. Dogs and cats are welcome. Downtown Lanesboro sits a short drive away, with restaurants, shops, and additional trail access. Campers who want to compare camping spots around Lanesboro will find a few other options in the area, including Highway 250 Campground and Sylvan City Park. For a riverside site with on-site rentals and a direct connection to the Root River trail system, Eagle Cliff earns its repeat visitors.
