    Family getaway

    My family has been coming here as a group for a few years! We love it here! Nice and quiet. Restroom and shower facilities onsite, some lakefront campsites and some that are not. Public boat launch, sandy swimming beach, picnic shelters. WIFI is provided. There is a dump station, playground, nature trail, volleyball, basketball, horseshoes, and a fish cleaning station. Great place to go kayaking!

    Nice / quiet!

    Nice, new rv park. Not far off I 94. Spent 1 night, but slept well due to no noise. Golf cart rentals, and trails from the park.

    Would definitely recommend.

    Dandy time at Andes RV Park

    We were in town for a weekend event and Andes RV Park was outstanding! Friendly service was in the easy check-in and checkout process. It has outstanding trails that they use in the winter time for cross-country skiing with tons of outdoor activities. Brand new restroom and shower facilities with laundry.

    Stayed during State Trap Shoot

    We stayed for a few nights during the State High School Trap Shoot. Crowds were expected and it was a busy area. Surprisingly quiet in the evening given how many people were there. Facilities were clean. Will stay there again for sure.

    Lac qui Parle Upper Campground — Lac qui Parle State Park

    Spacious and tranquil

    Lots of space between sites. There are not many trees so not much shade. Sites are gravel and relatively level, not much leveling required. Variety of sites, from group camping, primitive (no hookups), electric only, full hookups (water, electric, sewer) as well as cabins and tent only areas. Limited hiking trails connected to campground. Surrounded on two sides by farm fields and Lac Qui Parle Lake on another. There are two loops in the campground. One loop has view of the lake. Boat/canoe launch is in lower campground about 10 minutes from Upper Campground. Recycling and garbage dumpsters on site. Dump station near entrance. Verizon cell signal is poor. Pit toilets available. Bathhouse is centrally located, includes private showers. No laundry on site. Nearby attractions in Montevideo include Talking Waters Brewery/taproom, Jake’s pizza and Java River cafe (with outdoor seating, dog friendly).

    Swan Lake Resort & Campground

    Beautiful Quiet Campground

    Wonderful office staff, very kind and helpful. We intended to stay at the tent site but when we arrived we saw a lovely cabin overlooking the lake and decided to give ourselves a treat. It was very clean and comfortable. You can tell they work very hard to make the interior inviting and the kitchen well supplied with nice kitchenware. Highly recommend.

    The Homestead at Ottertail RV Park and Resort

    Stayed with family and friends

    Some family friends have a seasonal spot here so we stayed a couple times to spend time with them. They recently added onto the campground, mostly seasonal sites. Fire pits are provided for each site and they are cleaned out between guests. There was a large open field are near the pool so we set up a little disc golfing course! Sites are large and clear of trees and big rig friendly (camped in a roughly 30ft 5th wheel). Picnic table provided at each site. Bathrooms were clean and the pool area was nice to visit on a hot day! can get a little crowded during busy weekend! The road through the campground is dirt and usually smooth.

    Great place for the night

    Stayed here for one night...All lots, (lots of lots), were level and had water & electric. Super easy check in... Would definitely stay again..

    It is an active gun range so if shooting bothers you, may not be your place..

    Beautiful park

    So many activities and clean shower and restrooms. Folks working here we very pleasant and personable. Only 4 stars we we stayed in their overflow which was asked for but it’s down the road outside of the park. It is within walking distance. It’s a little confusing as you park in grass behind some private houses. It was after they close and they left us a map and phone number for the manager if we had any questions.

    Beautiful views from the Upper Campground

    We had a lovely weekend overlooking Lac Qui Parle from our campsite. The lack of mature trees on the upper campground bluffs is a plus. A gentle breeze keeps the bugs down and allows for nice views. We have a 26’ travel trailer and got 2 bars of T-Mobile 5G service.

    RUINED THIS PLACE!

    Stopped in our 25ft RV to check out the campground and was told to get off the property if I wasn’t staying there. The owner was rude. Would not let us park and take our dogs out to the road (not on the property). Was the worst experience ever. Happy to leave.

    Great campground

    RV park and some tent sites located next to the public pool and softball field. Amenities are good. WiFi is shared with the public pool so it's very slow.

    Nice spot!

    Some of the spaces are small. We had site 3b which was good sized. Beautiful stream. Only complaint was showers aren't the greatest. Dingy and the shower head is really low on the wall. We'd come here again. Our next reservation is for a smaller spot. We'll see how it goes. Internet service is very spotty.

    Young Friends Bought An RV Park & Rebranding Nomad Friendly

    A beautiful waterfront RV park bought by a group of young entrepreneurs and van lifers to rebrand as a more communal space! Awesome hilltop van life area with water and power, wifi, etc. Park has water front beach, boat rentals and game/hangout spaces. Highly recommend!

    Glacial Lakes State Park Campground

    Located in Central MN

    The trails in the park have nice rolling hills and offer a unique type of beauty. The campground is small, but offers some electric sites as well as some primitive sites. I do believe there were 2 or 3 cabins that I saw. Unsure if there is a group camp with this campground being so small as it is. Firewood is available at the check in/office building. There is a bathroom/shower building in the loop with the electric sites. The electric loop and primitive loops both have vault toilets. Each loop also has a few water stations to fill containers with potable water and each loop has a dumpster for disposing of waste. Not sure if there is a dump station for RVs as I typically use a tent when camping. Nice state park in Rural central Minnesota

What campers like:

What you should know:

  • Mosquitoes: Be prepared for mosquitoes, especially at Lac qui Parle State Park. A camper warned, "The park and campground are nice, but the mosquitos weren't!"
  • Limited Privacy: Some campgrounds, like Delagoon Park Campground, have sites that are close together. One reviewer noted, "The campsites are gravel back-in with no separation between sites so privacy is limited."
  • Electric Hookups: If you need electric hookups, check the availability at each campground. A visitor at Pomme De Terre Campground mentioned, "Some sites are a little difficult to get into but not impossible."

Tips for camping with families:

  • Activities for Kids: Look for campgrounds with playgrounds and water activities. At Tipsinah Mounds City Park, a reviewer said, "There is a nice playground, showers/restrooms, canp store, game room, volleyball, basketball, and horseshoes."

  • Plan for Quiet Time: Make sure to have quiet hours, especially for younger campers. One visitor at Monson Lake State Park Campground noted, "This campground is small (only 20 spots) so it's decently quiet."

Tips from RVers:

  • Check Site Sizes: Make sure your RV fits the site. A reviewer at Hartford Beach State Park Campground mentioned, "For those using the dump station, it’s on a hill and tougher for bigger rigs to use."
  • Bring Long Cords: If you need electric hookups, bring long cords as some sites have hookups far from the picnic area. A camper at Big Stone Lake State Park Campground advised, "The electric hook up is pretty far from the picnic table/fire ring area."
