Island Park provides four electric hookup sites managed by the City of Windom, positioned directly alongside a creek with kayak launch access. The campground sits close to the main road where campers report hearing occasional train noise at night.

Each site includes electric hookups, though recent visitors note inconsistent payment systems and seasonal facility closures. Scott D. found "the bathrooms are closed already" during his October visit, while another camper reported locked electrical connections. The sites lack designated boundaries, allowing campers to position between power boxes as needed. A gas station down the road provides convenient supply access.

The creek location offers immediate water access for paddling, with Safya B. noting it's "very quiet, right on the river" despite road proximity. Fishermen frequent the area, and the kayak launch sits adjacent to camping spots. Site pads appear compact for larger rigs, though surrounding space accommodates various camping setups.

The campground functions as an overnight stop rather than a destination facility. For additional camping options in the region, campers can explore campgrounds around Island Park. Those planning extended stays should confirm current facility availability and payment procedures with the city before arrival.

A small riverside campground with electric hookups and kayak access that works well for overnight stops. Several guests reported problems with closed bathrooms and payment confusion, plus road and train noise issues.

Cold night

I called and they said there was a payment box. No box. She said no bathrooms or water. I was fine with that. Although there was someone else there set up. Not sure how they got electric because it was paddle locked. It was down in the 30’s. Good thing I had an electric blanket. The Jackery kept running. Stayed warm with that. Very nosy.

Nice stay for 1 night.

The campground was at the end of the park. I asked some fishermen for direction. There are no designated spots just power boxes and I parked between them. Very quiet, right on the river. there's a kayak and canoe launch rights next to it.

Small waterfront campground

Nice little park to stop at for a night on a trip. Only stayed here for a night on my way out west in 2024. Arrived a bit before dark and decided to sleep in my car rather than my tent just due to the timing and being tucked away by the river by myself. Never did figure out where a bathroom was unfortunately. There was a gas station right down the road for any conveniences you may need. There is a kayak launch right by the campsites that I would've put my inflatable into if I'd had more daylight/time here.

Not sure how larger campers would set up given the layout and how small the pads look, but there was plenty of room in front and behind the pads.

Nice Overnight Stop

There are 4 camping spots here, all with electric hook-up. Although the website states $10 fee, there is nowhere to pay. In Oct, the bathrooms are closed already. Park is very close the the main road and you will likely hear trains at night. The campsites are right next to a creek with kayak access. It’s a nice place to stop for a night.
