Alexander Ramsey Park

4 ReviewsAdd Review

Wildlife enthusiasts will find Alexander Ramsey Park offers multiple ways to observe animals, from deer that approach campers on hiking trails to an on-site zoo housing bison, prairie dogs, elk, and peacocks. The municipal campground operates from mid-May through mid-October within Ramsey Park, providing electric and water hookups at sites ranging from free to $25 per night.

The campground's paved trail system connects to Redwood Falls via footpaths, though reviewers note the bridge crossing requires sharing space with vehicle traffic. Multiple reviewers mention the falls and river access, with trails following the water through the park. Site spacing varies considerably - some campers report limited privacy between spots while others found more secluded options on elevated areas. PJ F. notes "We were kind of up on a hill above a very overpopulated part of the campground."

Amenities include restrooms, showers, and a dump station, with reservations available through the city's online system. Reviewers consistently mention abundant flies during warmer months and note that peacock calls from the zoo carry to camping areas. The campground tends to be busiest on weekends, with several visitors reporting much quieter conditions during weekdays.

This spot works well for families interested in easy wildlife viewing and campers seeking camping near Redwood Falls with full hookups at municipal rates.

Campers regularly cited well-maintained sites and excellent family amenities including trails and a small zoo. Noise issues and limited privacy were concerns during busy periods, though quieter during weekdays.

No frills getaway

I had a love/hate with this campground. They have a great website with pics & details of each . It was super easy to use & reservations were a breeze. The site looked absolutely nothing like the pics ! They also mention water but this site had none. We found that out AFTER booking. But whatever, we had electricity & a full water tank. No sewer either. Price was reasonable. Well cared for site. Roomy. Clean picnic table. Fire ring, no grill grate. Garbage in the pit though, people suck. Not much for privacy between sites. We had site 28, it wasn’t bad . Much better than most ! We were kind of up on a hill above a very overpopulated part of the campground. We scoped our site 30 & would probably dig that if we were to return. We lucked out & had quiet neighbors next to us. Everyone else was out of control noisy. I won’t judge too harshly based of Labor Day weekend, but the crowd here lacked any common courtesy this time around. It was a bummer. Nice paved paths to Redwood Falls. Not much to see once you get there. Too many people. The river was nice but had murky grey water that had a very odd smell. The dogs couldn’t enjoy it. There was a bridge you cross to get to the paths but nowhere designated for pedestrians so you contend with cars. Cute swing bridge along the way though. There was a “zoo” - enclosures containing birds, bison, prairie dogs, goats etc. Maybe it would’ve been ok had parents not stood idly by whilst their children threw apples, over hand, at the poor animals & laughed. It all seemed far too stressful for these poor creatures. There was no one to be found in regards to any keeper. It was all pretty disturbing. People at the campground set off fireworks all day & night causing the peacocks to scream out. Yes you can hear it at the sites. I get this was a municipal park. And actually it was quite nice when everyone left and we were literally the only ones for 2 days. Camping in southwest MN was a new experience. I’d venture to say it would be nice to camp during a weekday. Be warned- there is NOTHING to do & the flies ( non biting houseflies) were abundant!! We had to buy fly strips!! All in all, we’d go back if we were just looking for a quick, closer getaway.

Ramsey Falls

Nice campground with lots of hiking trails that take you along the river and a few falls. Great family place with all of the animals they have to feed including buffalo, goats, elk, geese, and prairie dogs!
