Lebanon Hills Regional Park offers pet-friendly camping just 18 miles from Eden Prairie with spacious sites for tents and RVs. Dogs are allowed throughout the campground but must remain leashed at all times. Baker Campground at Baker Park Reserve also welcomes pets with cabin options for those wanting more shelter while camping with their animals. Both locations provide drinking water, picnic tables, and fire rings at each site, making overnight stays comfortable for both humans and their four-legged companions. The campsites are generally clean and well-maintained, with individual trash receptacles at many sites for convenient disposal of pet waste.
Hiking trails around Lake Auburn Campground provide excellent exercise opportunities for dogs, with multiple connected paths through prairie lands and woodland areas. Three Rivers Park District maintains several dog-friendly trails with water access points where pets can cool off during summer months. Visitors should pack extra towels for muddy paws and bring portable water bowls for trail hydration. Wildlife encounters are common in these areas, so keeping dogs leashed protects both local animals and pets from unwanted confrontations. Town & Country Campground, while convenient to city attractions, has tightly packed sites with little privacy between neighbors, making it challenging for reactive dogs or those requiring more space. The Minneapolis Southwest KOA offers larger, more private sites better suited for multiple or larger dogs requiring additional outdoor space.

GuideI never tire walking the dog park circle along the crow river! Great for birding and tons of beautiful trails!
LegendSmall little campground next to large casino. We lucked out and were able to stay 2 nights without reservations….only had to move because they were fully booked for the 4th…large concert event happening across the street. You will need to call early in the day to talk to office staff…who are very friendly. If after hours and there are no spots, you can dry dock in large lot in front of office. There is fuel on site as well as RV wash station. Bath house and laundry and card controlled ($5 card deposit on check in)…well maintained facilities. Dog park available, watch a few spots in fence near bottom where fencing has risen up…little dogs could easily climb under. Very convenient for visiting Minneapolis…25/30 minutes from airport/Mall of America (Aquarium) and Security patrols regularly and there is shuttle if you want to visit casino. Pool at hotel is not included. Golf attraction is being completed next door so there was some construction traffic during day as expected.
GuideWe were here for a night to see a concert at the amphitheater and everyone was super friendly. It was easy to check in, and we were able to do laundry and shower which was great. It’s mostly gravel but they have some tent sites on the grass. They are dog friendly and have some grassy areas to walk your pets which was great.
GuideSites are close to each other, but easy access, clean grounds and facilities, friendly staff, and a K9 fenced area for a pet friendly campground.
ScoutWe called for an RV site but they don't allow pets.
LegendThis was such a great spot! The campground is so nice and quiet!
Located 50 Miles NW of Minneapolis, and only 15 Miles from St. Cloud, MN.
TravelerWe just found this campground in September and this year we've been there 3 times and we live in Montana, there's no place I'd rather stay. It has nice clean bathrooms and it's a great place to walk your pets, they do have 3 different areas to camp but we always use the full hook-ups
The people at check-in are always so friendly, and very helpful.
lots of things in the area to do, and the "city" isn't that far to drive to.
GuideWe stayed here for a weekend in May. The campsites are a little bit on top of each other. There aren't many campsites that you're able to reserve. The majority of the campsites are seasonal campsites. There are a lot of mature trees that help with the shade! The beach area is nice, but the only problem is that boaters and kayaks are in the same general area so you have to be careful so you don't get hit. There is a dock for fishing as well. You can also rent boats, kayaks and paddleboards for a small fee. If you want to walk the whole campground having a golf cart would be nice. Also there is NO petting zoo as stated on the website or on the campground maps. There hasn't been one for a few years but they have yet to edit the website or the campground maps. We went there partly because there was a petting zoo for the little kids. Seems lazy to me that they can't update the website or the campground maps.
