West Two River

The sounds of water lapping against the shoreline and forest wildlife mark the rhythm at this 45-site campground on a mining reservoir in Minnesota's iron range. West Two River sits directly on the water, giving campers immediate access to kayaking and fishing opportunities across a lake dotted with islands and generally free of current.

Sites vary considerably in size, with some accommodating larger RVs through pull-through configurations while others work better for smaller setups. Electric hookups serve each site, though campers fill fresh water tanks from spigots placed around the grounds rather than individual site connections. The campground provides no dump station, so RV travelers need to plan accordingly. Tree coverage creates natural barriers between many sites, though privacy levels differ across the property.

"Lots of trees and couldn't even see the neighbors," notes Stephanie H., highlighting how the forest setting can provide seclusion. The facility includes shower houses with adequate water pressure, though temperature control remains fixed. An on-site disc golf course adds recreation beyond water activities. Cell service runs strong for major carriers, compensating for the absence of wifi. The campground's small scale means short walks to amenities like the beach area and recreational facilities.

Campers planning extended stays should note the May through September season and consider making reservations, as waterfront sites fill quickly during peak periods. For additional camping options in the region, explore campgrounds near Eveleth.

Visitors often highlighted the spacious, well-equipped sites with electricity and beautiful views near water activities. Privacy varies by location, with tree coverage providing good separation on some sites.

A hidden gem with everything I needed.

Toward the last minute in July of 2024, I needed RV spaces near water (that I could kayak) for two travel trailers. I found this campground and booked two of the last three spaces available. Three hours from my house, as the crow flies, I found myself visiting Minnesota's iron range. This campground is next to a reservoir with many islands and no current (unless the mining company is pushing or pulling water from the lake. The sites are of varying sizes and some are pull through. Leveling took me a bit, but I found just the right angle to jack up the front of my RV for leveling. My site was smaller, but still large enough for my 20 trailer, a screen house, the picnic table and fire pit, my Grand Cherokee, and plenty of extra room onto which I could probably have put at least three more screen tents, with room to walk. Electricity is provided on each site. There are no water hookups per site, but there are a few water spigots around the grounds to fill fresh water tanks. Because the grounds are small (45 camping sites) a short walk gets you anywhere on the site; like to the showers, beach, and other recreational facilities. Frisbee golf is on site. There is no tank dump available. The campground is surrounded by forest, so wild animals can and do appear. The lake is large enough for some long and interesting kayaking, and there are multiple kinds of fish (from bullheads to northern pike). The woman in charge works very hard to keep these grounds as perfect as possible. The place is clean and mostly dead quiet after hours. Two free showers per gender, but they have minimal privacy. The free showers have sufficient pressure to do the job, although you cannot control the temperature; which I found to be fine, even if it was not the burning hot showers I like to have. The sites have pretty good privacy, although during the day I had to listen to the typical chatting from my neighboring campers. I very much love this campground and will be back as my time permits.There is no wifi. We had strong service on T-mobile and Verizon, so we used our hotspots for media connectivity.
