Jackson KOA

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

A small KOA just off I-90 in southwestern Minnesota, Jackson KOA functions primarily as a highway stop for travelers moving between the Midwest and points west. Sites are level, grassy, and easy to pull into, with full hookups available for RVs up to 65 feet. Water pressure runs reliably, and multiple reviewers note no issues with electric connections. The campground has a pool, a playground, and a dump station that stocks a communal sewer hose for guest use, a small practical touch that reflects the kind of operational care this park tends to get right.

Cleanliness comes up consistently across reviews. Bathrooms are described as clean and updated, and the grounds are well-maintained. The staff and ownership draw repeated mention for being genuinely welcoming, including greeting late arrivals after the office closes. One note worth knowing: the park does host some long-term residents, and a handful of those sites can look worn down, which has affected at least one visitor's overall impression of the property.

Loon Lake Campground sits nearby for campers who want a different setup. The area around Jackson also has a historic fort in town, and the Jeffers Petroglyphs are a worthwhile detour for anyone with extra time. A Burger King sits directly across the street, and a small grocery store is a short drive south, making resupply easy for travelers. WiFi is available but has drawn mixed feedback, so plan accordingly if connectivity matters.

Reservations are accepted and worth making in peak summer months. The season runs April 15 through October 13.

Many campers appreciated the exceptionally friendly owners who provide personal touches and local recommendations. Visitors often highlighted clean facilities, level sites, and the quiet atmosphere, though some noted older long-term RVs detract from the overall appearance.

Great little park!

We stopped here for 2 nights on our way to South Dakota. The park is small, but very well maintained, and man, literally every person there was INCREDIBLY nice! I met the previous owner of the park and his wife, and told about some cool things to do in the area including the Jeffers Petroglyphs, a fort in the town of Jackson, and the town from Little House on the Prairie.

Our site was level, easy to get into, and had a nice tree providing some shade. Water pressure was good, no issues with electric. One thing I noticed that I thought was really cool was they had a good sewer hose at the dump station for guests to use so they didn’t have to dig theirs out. That is the kind of thought the owners put into the experience at their park. Simple, nice perks that make the experience just that little bit extra good, and there were things like that throughout the park.

There is a small grocery store about 5 mins south of the park, a Burger King right across the street, and a few gas stations. New Ulm is about an hour away and well worth the visit! Cool little downtown area with lots of history, great restaurants, and cool shops.

Clean and inviting

Arrived after office was closed. Still greeted by the owner very welcomingly. Test site is flat, dry and grassy. Could’ve ask for a better site. Mosquitoes where not an issue at this site. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

In the COVID-19 times we found this campground to be clean and easy to distance. Bathrooms/showers had a fan blowing and window open and the site we had ( #9) had a male tree for afternoon/early evening shade. We unloaded our bikes and enjoyed the bike trails that encircle and go through Jackson. Our neighbor had a leak in his outside shower that was noticed by the maintenance man. He turned off the water and upon the camper’s return, helped him fix his leak. Recycling available and besides your picnic table, there’s a covered dining area by the pool with a gas grill.

Enjoyable Stay

Nice Campground on I90

I’ve been to several KOAs while traveling and this one does not disappoint. Clean and updated bathrooms, nice pool and friendly staff.

Alright but not the best for a KOA

We go in early in the afternoon after traveling from Madison WI.

The KOA seemed alright but I was very disappointed in the long term/ Full time RVs parked there. Some were alright but a couple of pretty dumping ones.

They were not full and I can understand the reason.

The facilities seemed to be well maintained. The pool and playground were very nice and the sites we stayed around were fine. It was just those few trailers that gave it that run downed feeling. If they took care of those even made them clean the area around them and wash them it would go up a star or 2.

The internet was iffy again and I guess we will just have to live with that though I did expect more from a KOA.

That night they did have live entertainment but we did not know about it until they started to play. It was locals I think that lived there and was like a jam session.
