Best Campgrounds near Bagley, MN

Nice quiet spot out of the way. It was accessible even in winter. The snow was packed down enough to drive on even with a two wheel drive vehicle.

About a quarter mile from main road but very rough road meaning huge holes, just go slow. A few spots right next to the lake maybe 5 but the loop is generally close together for 3 of them. Its a really nice secluded spot actually with fresh clear cool waters. The mid summer bugs werent as bad when there was slight winds. May get adventurous and explore the rustic trails around the lake. Lots of wood sticks around to gather as well. Maybe you get lucky and are only one there to feel like in the movie castaway.

Lots of amenities, $60+ /night, guest fees. More open with less “trees and camping” feel so not for everyone but we liked it.

Heiberg Park near Twin Valley, Minnesota, is a gem for anyone seeking a peaceful and well-maintained spot to unwind. The park offers a few modern pieces of playground equipment, making it a great place for families with children. 

One of its highlights is the serene stream that runs through the park, adding to its tranquil atmosphere. The park also has a picnic shelter that’s perfect for gatherings; it’s just a roofed area without walls, designed to provide shade for those enjoying a meal outdoors. The lawn is always kept in top shape, with the grass trimmed neatly, and you’ll rarely, if ever, find trash littering the ground, which speaks volumes about the care taken to maintain this space. 

For those interested in fishing, the park borders the Wild Rice River, and while some have good luck with their catch, my experience hasn’t been as successful—but that hasn’t diminished my enjoyment of the setting. 

The park is a quiet retreat, perfect for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle for a while. Whether you’re there for a picnic, some playtime with the kids, or just to enjoy the outdoors, Heiberg Park is a lovely choice.

I stayed here for 2 nights. I was with my parents who had an RV but I just stayed in a tent in the back of their spot. It was a very clean park. You can tell they take care of it. Showers were nice. Pool was warm. Everyone at the park seemed nice. It's not on the lake but there is a boat landing with 2 ramps about a mile away. It's right on a major bike trail.

We were scheduled for 5 nights, but extended to 8 because it was such a great spot. Don and his wife were very nice, and super helpful. We checked in late, and Don even helped us set up camp. Nice pool too. Showers and bathrooms are very clean. Laundry is nice. Highly recommend if you can snag a spot.

This campsite was a bit confusing for me to find and I still wonder if I’m at the right place. It’d be a peaceful night if it weren’t for the generator running all night across from me 😤 The mosquitoes are terrible, but that’s expected. I also thought it’d be on the water but it’s not… The road can also be pretty tough so be prepared if your pulling a trailer. I don’t think this was what I expected

This will be our 4th time up here. Great Place to stay at. Lake is beautiful and good fishing. Has a boat dock and parking. Site we were in is kinda smaller but we made it work. Facilities are clean and well taken care of.

There is no parking next to your camp at this spot. You have to walk to your camp and being the owner of a trailer. This does not work.

Camped at site #7 on Oct 10-11, 2023. Beautiful wooded state forest campground along Hungry Man Lakes. I was able to bank fish right from the campsite. Dirt surface campsite with table and metal fire ring. Trash containers along campground road. Two clean vault toilets with tp & air freshener. Two hand water pumps. Some sites are not level; #7 was level and pretty large. The campground can accomodate a truck camper and smaller; would not recommend larger rigs. A gravel road looped through the campground, offering a pleasant walk through the pine forest. Can not reserve a site here. Had to use the Yodel app to pay. Loved camping here.

Great views here! Stayed right next to the lake! Had easy access for kayaking and had a fun girls weekend! Site 7 was a short hike in from the parking lot and the site was large enough for multiple tents. We had a 3p and 2p backpacking tent. Picnic table and fire ring provided at the site. There is a self pay station and the rates were pretty cheap! we enjoyed a rainy weekend and were even able to rig up an awning with some dead branches in our site and extra rope we brought to help us keep dry. Great location for water access. we had an inflatable kayak, traditional kayak, and inflatable paddleboard between the three of us!

Tall trees and beautiful clear water with a dock. Looks like a great lake for a canoe. I also noted that I have terrific cell reception and could work here which would be great. Close to Itasca which was crazy with leaf peepers and yet, here it was quiet.
