Military Park Camp Ripley DeParcq Woods Campground

This is a well kept and very pleasant campground within the compound of the National Gaurd's Camp Ripley. It is designed as an MWR location for active duty, retired, and veterans of all the uniformed services, but other guests can stay there with permission. The campground has large wooded campsites for RV's as well as tents, all along the Mississippi River. Right at the campground are shower and bathroom faciltieis, disk golf, boat launch, and hiking trails. Although some of the adjacent premises are actively used as a Guard base with training courses underway, a large part of the grounds are unused and in natural habitat, and an unusual number of bird and plant species can be found here, so it is great for nature lovers. In fact, there is a nature museumm on the grounds, as well as indoor and outdoor classrooms, and area schools bring students here for environmental education field trips and nature camps.  

Campers also have access to the usual base amenities such as BX, recreation center, etc.

Quiet, not quite remote and with access to enough if you need it. You get a large tent site on the Mississippi River across a road from the RV’s highly recommend.
