Winnie Campground

Needs maintenance, the Campground was brushy and over grown. Sites were buggy. The well was closed without warning. The outhouse ran out of toilet paper a couple of times. Difficult to land the boat due to shallow water. FLIES and HORNETS!

We have stayed in our rv here at least 5 times the last two years and always appreciate the raw beauty in this park. From the white pines to the gigantic norways,the bald eagles that are always watching your next move into there domain. I have very often stayed days past my forcast stay.

Do bring your mosquito spray or yu will be there supper.

I also frequent this park in the winter to hike around in the beautiful splendor that it offers year around.

This campground is off the beaten path, and very quiet and peaceful. You have a choice of lakeside campsites, or sites tucked into the woods away from the lake. The lakeside campsites are your best bet, if you can get them--beautiful view over lake Winnie, cool breezes, and HUGE campsites that can accomodate large fishing boats and whatever rig you might use to haul such a boat. The campsites away from the lake are much smaller, meant more for car and tent camping. The campground is also an option for paddlers to overnight if paddling the Mississippi River water trail, which enters the west side of the lake just south of the campground. There is a boat launch with several docks adjacent to the campground, water pumps for drinking water, and a restroom building with basic toilets. This is a good option is you want a peaceful out of the way campsite in tall pines, or to go fishing on the big lake, but there arent hiking or biking trails near by so other options are a bit limited. And although the lakeshore is pretty, the swimming experience is a bit crunchy due to the lake having been invaded by zebra mussels, unfortunately

I’ve never had a nice big campsite on the lake before. The site on the lake allows plenty of space and a beautiful view. No running water, just a spigget. Bathrooms are port a potties and not the cleanest. Lake has swimmers itch. Very peaceful out on the lake not a lot of people around.
