Best RV Parks & Resorts near Cohasset, MN

Trout Lake Campground, located just minutes from Cohasset, Minnesota, offers RV sites with 30/50 amp electrical hookups and water connections on level gravel pads. This highly-rated park (4.6/5) accommodates big rigs and provides amenities including laundry facilities, showers, and an RV storage area. Nearby, Prairie Lake Campground operates seasonally from May through October with full hookup RV sites that can handle larger motorhomes and fifth wheels. The park features big-rig friendly access, water and electric hookups, plus sewer connections for extended stays. Minnesota National RV Park, situated within a golf course setting, provides full hookup sites with 50 amp service and water/sewer connections. "We loved that we were able to pull right onto the gravel pad and it was level so we didn't need to take extra time to level out the camper," noted one Trout Lake visitor, though they mentioned hookups were positioned on the "wrong side of the pad."

Most RV parks in the Cohasset region maintain pet-friendly policies, though Minnesota National charges an additional $10 daily pet fee. Cell service varies significantly throughout the area - Minnesota National RV Park receives strong Verizon and T-Mobile coverage (3-4 bars LTE), while more remote locations may have limited connectivity.

Seasonal availability is an important consideration when planning trips to northern Minnesota RV parks, as most operate only from May through October. Reservation policies differ between parks - some operate on first-come, first-served basis while others like Trails RV Park in Walker (about 45 minutes from Cohasset) require advance bookings during peak summer months. Many parks offer on-site firewood purchase, though prices and quality vary considerably.

    West Two River

    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.

    Highbanks Resort Campground on Lake Winnie

    Full service resort with camping available at High Banks landing

    This is a full service fishing resort with a lodge and cabin rental, but RV and tent camping is also available. The campsites are very nice and wooded, the tenting sites include some very secluded spots back in the woods which is nice for solitude but precludes a view of the lake. There are daily rates as well as weekly rates for camping or cabin stays. This is a top notch place to stay for a fishing vacation, off the beaten path but with full amenities. It can be a destination vacation spot, or can be a great stop-over  for through-paddlers crossing Lake Winnie on the Mississippi River Headwaters Water Trail. Although near the National Forest campground on Tamarack Point, this has many more amenities which is nice when you are so far from the nearest town, especially if you are paddling through and have no vehicle for travel. Amenities include groceries, ice cream shop, full service boat launch and fishing supplies, and more. You might not be into winter camping in a tent, but there are ice houses to rent that you could camp in if you come in winter. More expensive than usual campgrounds, but with more amenities provided and with a stellar location. Pets welcome at no extra charge! Seasonal campsite rental can also be arranged.

    Leech Lake Recreation Area & Campground

    Awesome and extremely clean and quiet

    While at Leech Lake Recreation Area we stayed in site number 33 which was the electric site with our 30 foot Jayco Eagle travel trailer. There was enough room in the site for a travel trailer truck and probably another tent or screen tent. The other sites were close but not too close. if another travel trailer or RV pulled in it would block our view from their fire ring. The pad was all dirt and you can only set up on the dirt and not on the grass around it. The trees around the site were perfect for hammocks, we hung three of our Kammok brand hammocks. Our only complaint about the site was that the fire pit was dug down into the ground making it kind of unsafe if you had children and the fires didn’t stay lit very well because there was no oxygen going underneath them, so you’re constantly fanning it which was annoying because we cook with cast-iron over the fire for every meal.

    We were able to go and take a walk to the lake which is super short walk from pretty much any of the sites but really close from our site. The sunset over the lake were stunning and a loon hung around the dock while we fished.

    We took a lot of bike rides around the campground looking at each site and going to the park which was absolutely amazing for the kids. They had basketball courts, a huge playground that was amazing quality, shuffleboard, volleyball, badminton, and a picnic shelter that you could rent out with the cooking area inside the picnic shelter. There are pit toilets and bathrooms close to the playground so that isn’t an issue with little ones. The playground area is a great place to hang out with adults and children.

    We took a bike ride to the tent sites as well and found that there are pretty close together and right next to a main road that was kind of noisy. They would probably be good if you got all four at once with a group of people. The dump station for the RVs was right next to the tent sites to which would probably be annoying to see all the RVs on a busy day dumping at the same time.

    The federal Dan was a magnificent sight but it was pretty hard to fish around that area without a boat going on the leech lake because of the fast-moving water. They’re also wasn’t an area to swim because it would be unsafe which is kind of a bummer but the playground made up for it.

    The park is run by the Army Corps of Engineers volunteers and they were super friendly and kept everything clean and sanitary which was amazing. There was even Washers and dryer’s to do laundry for free and amazing shower facilities that they called comfort stations. Everything was borrow on the loan and bring back which included all of the equipment at the park like basketballs badminton shuffle board stuff and rakes shovels and stuff to clean up your campsite.

    All in all this would be a park that we would definitely come back to you and spend a week and possibly have a group of people with kids because it’s a super cool friendly kid park.

    Trout Lake Campground

    Camping experience

    The campground is next to a busy road so if you’re looking for peace and quiet you will not get it here. However, we loved that we were able to pull right onto the gravel pad and it was level so we didn’t need to take extra time to level out the camper. The 30 amp electrical and water hookups were nice however they were on the wrong side of the pad which we thought was odd. Everything is on the honor system - even paying for your spot. There is a small box outside the garage that you fill out a form and put the form along with your payment into an envelope and place it in a mail slot. There are 2 sets of primitive bathrooms within the grounds and another standard bathroom with showers underneath the house by the beach area. There is a nice sandy area by the lake to enjoy. The owner was very nice and even pumped out our sewage for us before we left.

    Button Box Lake Campground and Day-Use Area

    A great little place to unplug for awhile …

    First off, and most appealing to me is the fact that there is no cell service. All 12 campsites are first come first serve and you can’t jump a line by going on a website to reserve a spot.  there are no water or electric hook ups but there are hand pumps for pumping water and you could bring a generator or not.
    Located north of Grand Rapids Minnesota about 60 miles or 35 miles from Nashwauk Minnesota which is the closest gas station, grocery store or post office. All the sites are back in no pull through sites, generally level however there’s a few that are on an angle

    Norway Beach - Chippewa Campground Loop

    Great for tent camping but not so much for Rv/travel trailer camping

    We planned a huge family camping trip this year and the lovely Chippewa Loop campground in the Chippewa National Forest was the camp ground that we had the honor of staying at! We had three sites, 79, 80, and 81 with 17 people total. 9 Adults and 8 kids ranging from ages 7 to 1. The campground is right outside Cass Lake Minnesota that had a nice grocery store, a pretty weird liquor store, a family dollar, and a fishing pier if you didn’t have a boat. It was about a half an hour outside of Bemidji, Mn that has a lot of history from Minnesota and a great fireworks display over the lake on the Fourth of July. The City of Bemidji has a lot a little boutique shops if you are into shopping while on camping trips. It also had a cute little ice cream store that we took all the kids to across from the Paul Bunyan and Babe the blue ox statue and a nice park for the kids to play at right off of Lake Bemidji. If you’re into craft breweries Bemidji also has a brewery called Bemidji Brewing right in town. There’s also a Walmart, Target, Home Depot, and a dollar tree amongst other stores if you have that “I forgot list”.

    Site number 80 was the best to put up a travel trailer, but it was also extremely close to site number 82 and practically joined site number 82. We ended up putting our Jayco Eagle 30 foot travel trailer in site number 81 because with everyone else tent camping and we were the only one with a travel trailer, we felt this site was the best to park our travel trailer in because it was the least level site and only had one small pad for a tent. Site number 79 and 81 were joined together by a path that made it easy for us to all eat in one site. We all pretty much congregated in site number 81. We put most of our tents, three to be exact, in site number 80 because it was the most level and open for tents. The site was capable of having two large cabin tents and a small 4 person tent comfortably. Site had a lot of good pine trees for hanging Hammocks but, like I said before, it was almost right on top of site number 82 so we decided to only put up the 3 tents and congregate across the road in site number 81 as to not disturb the other site occupants. It was pretty frustrating that that was the most level site because it was also the best one to park a travel trailer in and have an awning out and a picnic table but we couldn’t do it because we didnt want to disturb the other site with 17 people.

    Site number 79 had a good drive pad but the tent pad was extremely un-level. we put up a single pole tipi in that site because the people in that site had cots and didn’t mind sleeping on an incline. When I say incline, I mean incline, the tent pad was not level at all which is kind of frustrating. Site number 79 was the least friendly for hammocks so we hung all her hammocks in site number 81.

    Site number 81 is where we decided to put up the trailer but the trailer pad was super un- level. We ended up making a Walmart run to get two more packs of leveling blocks and we use three packs of leveling blocks to make it level with room to have our awning and out. Right behind the travel trailer was a sloped hill that went down to the fire pit and a tent pad that was also on a slight incline which we were up by eight person tent there but that person had a raised air mattress and didn’t mind sleeping on an incline. Attached to site number 81 was also the path to the showers that was right down the hill. It worked out great because the showers and the bathrooms were so close to our site but we felt like the trees were blocking everything from our site.

    We took a lot of bike rides and got to see a lot of the other sites and they had a lot of good tent sites in some of the other loops and it seems like all of the electric sites were not as great as the tent sites. All of the electric sites seem to be un-level and not a great place to pitch a tent as well as having the camper.

    The park itself was very beautiful had a lot of nature things like milk weed and monarch butterfly’s everywhere and a beautiful swimming beach that was about waist high (4 feet deep) for about 300 to 400 yards out from shore. The beach was great for swimming and kayaking and you could dock a boat on the sandy beach and eat lunch if you wanted to. We ended up catching 40 crawfish and doing a crawfish boil, which the kids absolutely loved. The picnic shelter was pretty awesome too, very shaded and on a rougher part of the beach. There was a really long bike path that went through all of the loops and the main road was super bike friendly as well.

    In the visitor center there was a really cool area for the kids to go to play if it was too hot or rainy, or if you just wanted to be indoors for a little bit. They had a bike decorating event and we brought all the kids bikes and decorated them. There was a little gift shop and they also gave out free stickers which we ended putting on our camper as we do at every park we get a sticker from.

    Each camp ground loop also had a campground host that sold firewood, three bundles for $10. The firewood was pretty bad and some of it was wet and it burned really really fast. But like every park in Minnesota you can’t bring your own firewood unless it’s kiln dried lumber or something like that within a certain number of miles of the place you are camping.

    A few downsides to this park where there’s no official places to fill water up for your camper and no official place to dump your black and grey water tanks from your camper. You end up having to go to another park and pay to dump your camper. This could be a problem if you are staying for an extended time and use a lot of water. There also wasn’t a whole lot to do aside from biking and hiking and swimming like there was a leech lake recreation area we were at a few days prior to this trip. The restrooms and showers were pretty unkempt and dirty. Everyone but me and my sister had cold showers every time they went to take a shower.

    All in all the park is very beautiful and I had some very good attributes like friendly staff, clean campsites and secluded campsites where you didn’t feel like you are right on top of the other site aside from site 80 and 82. It seemed like there were three or 4 sites together in groups and then a little ways away there were a few more clumped together.

    I don’t know if we would actually come back to this park because the sites weren’t as big as they seemed in the pictures online and we felt cramped most of the time. There wasn’t a good space in the sites to put up games like corn hole or ladder ball which made it a bit boring at times to just stay at camp. We spent a lot of time at the beach.

    Side Lake Campground — McCarthy Beach State Park

    Stupendous camping.

    We really enjoyed this park. Electric loop was tight and some sites had minimal privacy. The non electric sites were much more private. All sites had nice shady trees. It's a very forested park. We really appreciated the new restroom facilities. 

    We had easy water access for our kayak off the campground loop. And it was easy enough to carry the kayak across to the other lake to explore out there. The beach on the big lake was very nice, clean and there were easily accessible "ends" of the beach to have a dog. The sandbar was expansive! 

    This was a great park for campers of all styles; very family friend - it was very busy with lots of kids. Trails can be reached from the campground but the hike to the trails would be a hike in itself for some. Trail heads seemed remote compared to other parks. 

    There were temporary problems with the drinking water on the whole campground - couldn't brush teeth with sink water, and had to go to the dump station to fill up from the one safe water spigot, but it wasn't anything that would keep us from coming back.

    Prairie Lake Campground

    Beautiful Park!

    This park is beautiful and right next to a lake. Very green and full of trees. Park is clean. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because the long-term residence aren't very friendly. This location cost $44/night for full hookups.

    West Seelye Bay

    Great location for water activities

    This site has better private camp sites compared to the East. IT also have more sites located with water access. Very deep sites so you get lots of privacy as well. Very wooded and secluded so you have to watch out for the ticks as we pulled several off of our dog. Mostly tent and small pop ups at this campground...hard to get a big rig in here or anything really over 20 feet. Some of the sites don't look like they get used much and they were not overly maintained, but it was full!


Guide to Cohasset

Northern Minnesota's camping season near Cohasset runs predominantly from April through October due to the region's harsh winter climate. The area sits within the Chippewa National Forest, featuring over 1.6 million acres of woods and more than 1,300 lakes. Unpaved forest roads connect many camping areas, with conditions that can deteriorate quickly after rainfall.

What to do

Fishing on North Star Lake: Access multiple bays for diverse fishing experiences at North Star Campground, located 23 miles north of Cohasset. "We spend many hours fishing the many different bays of North Star Lake with luck catching Muskies," notes a regular visitor. The public boat launch is less than half a mile from the campground.

Mountain biking trails: Utilize the extensive trail networks near Trails Inn Quadna Mountain as your base camp. "Paved walking and biking trails and hundreds of miles of ATV trails connected right to the rv park," writes one visitor. The campground's location offers quick access to both the Redhead Mountain Bike Park and Tioga trails.

Golfing getaways: Play at Minnesota National Golf Course while staying at their onsite RV park. "The 27-hole golf course was in good shape and fun to play," reports one camper. The campground is situated inside the golf course property, with some sites tucked back in wooded areas for added privacy.

What campers like

Clean facilities: Pokegama Dam Campground maintains spotless bathrooms and showers that receive consistent praise. "Super clean bathrooms. Level sites and great views of the Mississippi," notes a recent camper. The campground features "bathrooms, showers, potable water, and a kids playground."

Spacious sites: Trails RV Park offers generously sized camping spots with full hookups. "The sites are large and level," reports one visitor. Another notes, "Sites are level gravel pads," making setup quick and hassle-free for RVers.

Lake access options: Several campgrounds provide direct water access for swimming and boating. At Trout Lake Campground, "There is a nice sandy area by the lake to enjoy," while Prairie Lake Campground offers "a great area for both boats and swimming."

What you should know

Seasonal availability: Most rv sites near Cohasset, Minnesota operate within a limited window. "This campground is open seasonally from May 1 to Oct 1," notes a Prairie Lake visitor. Similarly, Trails RV Park lists its season as "May 1 - Oct 6."

Highway noise concerns: Some campgrounds experience traffic noise due to proximity to major roads. At Pokegama Dam Campground, "Highway noise is constant and Trains go by often all hours of the day," cautions one camper. The campground sits just feet off the 4-lane Highway 2.

Reservation systems vary: Policies differ between parks in the area. North Star Campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis, with a camper noting, "The sites are not reservable." Meanwhile, most private RV parks require advance bookings.

Tips for camping with families

Playgrounds and pools: Families appreciate dedicated recreation areas for children. "Great for kids, very nice playground and great pool," writes a Trails RV Park visitor. The park's game barn provides additional entertainment options during inclement weather.

Beach access considerations: When selecting waterfront camping sites around Cohasset, check for swimming areas. At Big Winnie Store RV Park, "there is swimming at a nearby beach but it is not on the premises," requiring a short drive.

Budget-friendly options: Forest Service campgrounds offer economical alternatives to private RV parks. "Camping is $14.00 for a single site, and $28.00 for groups," reports a North Star camper. With a senior access pass, fees drop to $7 per night at some locations.

Tips from RVers

Pad layout challenges: Some RV sites have utility connections positioned awkwardly. At Minnesota National RV Park, "The utilities are in the far back of the site. I needed about 20' of sewer, electric, and water hose to reach my rig."

Cell service coverage: Connectivity varies throughout the Cohasset region. Minnesota National RV Park receives "3 bars LTE on Verizon," while more remote forest service campgrounds may have limited or no service.

Water pressure variations: Be prepared for high pressure at some campgrounds. A Minnesota National visitor advises, "The water pressure is very good at 60+ psi, so suggest a reducer" to protect RV plumbing systems from damage.
