Horrible condition

This was once a great campground run by the national Park service. Today it is completely rundown and I would highly advise that you should not stay here. They are not mowing the campsites creating a huge mosquito problem along with eliminating areas where children can play. Showers and Fishhouse have had issues to the point where they were not reopened this year. Extremely sad to see such a beautiful venue not being taken care of

Spacious & Relaxing

Amazing campground. Stayed here twice this past summer. Bathrooms and showers were kept clean. Campsites are spacious. Some sites are first come first serve and about 10 or so by the water you can reserve. Beach is very nice and sandy also. Kids were always exploring. There are two different locations within walking distance to beach your boat overnight within the campsite. Will definitely be going back!

Beautiful spot

Good spot close to Walker MN. Site location does matter. Waterfront sites are amazing we stay on the back side away from the beach. Well maintained and quiet.

Quiet Peaceful Retreat

Perfect place for a quiet and enjoyable family retreat. Many sites have private access to Leech Lake (with a beach - Sites 12, 14, 17, 19) but they have plenty of public trails (short ones) to get swimming fishing and boating access. Clean showers and bathrooms. Well kept grounds. Lots of space to spread out. And it is so quiet! Absolutely amazing place.

Right on the lake, nice little campground. It was self pay or online reservations. Half of the campground is reservable online and the other is first come first served.

Great setting for fishing & camping

Beautiful campground with spacious, wooded sites. We camped here with our sons 9 & 11 and there wasn’t a minute of the day they weren’t exploring! The small, sandy beach is clean and provides a large swimming area. The boat ramp is convenient and easy to use, also free. There’s a tie up point right at the campground that has room for 4 boats. The rock jetty provides an area for shore fishing. Great fishing on Leech Lake. Showers and bathrooms (flushable ones) were the cleanest I have seen in a federal campground. Only reason I have I four stars was because we were plagued by biting flies. It became unbearable at times so we would go to the town of Walker and walk around to escape the insects. We had no luck with any one spray that worked to keep them away. However, can’t wait to go back.
