4 Reviews

Winnie Campground, near Blackduck, Minnesota, is a laid-back spot that offers a slice of nature for those looking to unwind. With its beautiful lakeside views and spacious sites, it’s a great place to kick back and enjoy the outdoors.

This campground is known for its peaceful atmosphere, making it a favorite among campers who appreciate a bit of solitude. Many visitors have enjoyed the large campsites that can accommodate RVs and fishing boats, perfect for those who want to spend their days on the water. As one camper put it, “The lakeside campsites are your best bet...beautiful view over lake Winnie.”

While the amenities are basic, you’ll find drinking water and restrooms available. Just keep in mind that the bathrooms are more on the rustic side, so come prepared. Campers have also mentioned the need for mosquito spray, as those little critters can be quite the nuisance.

For outdoor activities, Winnie Campground is a great launch point for fishing and paddling adventures. The nearby lake offers a serene setting for those looking to cast a line or paddle around. Just be aware that swimming might not be the best option due to some pesky zebra mussels.

If you’re seeking a quiet retreat surrounded by tall pines and the beauty of nature, Winnie Campground is worth considering for your next camping trip.

Just ok

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!

Good for paddlers and for fishing

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

Big campsite on lake

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.
