Best RV Parks & Resorts near Erhard, MN

RV parks near Erhard include Long Lake Campsite-RV Resort in Detroit Lakes, open May through September with full hookups for motorhomes and travel trailers. The Homestead at Ottertail RV Park offers big rig access with water and sewer connections, while Pelican Hills RV Park accommodates larger vehicles with 50-amp electrical service from May to October. "Spaces are close with lots of activity," noted one camper about Long Lake, where sites are positioned for lake views but provide minimal privacy between neighboring RVs. Buffalo River State Park Campground features pull-through rv pads with electric and water hookups for motorhomes up to 60 feet in length.

Between the lakes region and prairie transition zone, RV travelers find varying levels of site development. The campgrounds east of Erhard provide sanitary dump stations, though not all offer on-site propane filling services. Cell service remains consistent throughout most parks, with stronger signals near Fergus Falls and Detroit Lakes. Seasonal availability becomes limited after September, when many resort-style parks close for winter. Most parks accommodate pets with designated walking areas, though restrictions apply in some locations. One traveler mentioned that Buffalo River's "even number sites along the open field side give you great views" for wildlife watching, an important consideration when selecting specific motorhome sites.

    Lake Carlos State Park Campground

    Beautiful and quiet

    End of October, Stopped for just one night, probably about a 20ish minute drive from 94. Was able to purchase firewood after closing, and the campsite were easy to find after (7$)entry to the park. Campsites are reserved through an online system. We found the top campsite completely empty and plenty of sites had good tree coverage for privacy/ way no protection. Nice level sites with soft ground. Each site had a fire ring and picnic table. The only bathroom in walking distance to the upper campsites was a vault toilet located amongst the cabins. Seems like a great place to stay any season.

    Maplewood State Park Campground

    Loved our short time here in a camper cabin

    We stayed at Maplewood State Park mid-July. We actually stayed in one of the 3 camper cabins and loved it! They have electricity, heat, ceiling fans and a private dock on Beers Lake. There is a vault toilet & water spicket nearby. Each cabin has its own fire pit and picnic table area. It felt very private although the cabins are rather near to each other. We checked out the campgrounds and they had spacious sites, some more private than others. It had a family friendly feel and was obviously a favorite spot for fisherman and water recreation enthusiasts. I wish we could have spent more time in the 9200 acre park. There is a swimming beach & picnic area that allows you to have campfires, as well as a nice shower house. The ranger was helpful regarding my questions about the lake and potentially renting a cabin for ice fishing this winter. At sunset, sitting by the lake, it was beautiful- nothing but songbirds and the call of loons to listen to.

    Golden Eagle Campground

    Great for families

    On the Gunflint Trail  off the beaten path! Get away from it all...really. No cell to bother you here! On Flour Lake with great service from the staff. Sights are close and tight but have nice tree and foliage growth between sites. No full hook up...but dump station on site. Fishing dock and boat rental on site with reasonable prices. In the Superior National  Forest..lots of hiking trails. Lakes all around to explore and the Gunflint  historical society up the road. Drive trail to end for some great views and the north south continental divide.  We were here for 6 days and loved it. Bath house geta a just ok from me...not the best or worse I've seen. Friendly folks everywhere.

Guide to Erhard

RV sites near Erhard, Minnesota sit at the junction of prairie and lake country, where summer temperatures average 70-85°F from June through August. The region contains over 1,000 lakes within a 50-mile radius, with most campgrounds situated along waterways or near smaller glacial lakes. Cell service becomes spotty in areas north of Erhard between Maplewood State Park and Pelican Rapids.

What to do

Water activities: Access to swimming holes at Buffalo River State Park Campground attracts summer visitors. "There is a swimming pond close to the campground and some open area to play lawn games," notes Stephanie H. The park features several looping trails where "you can put together a hike from 15 minutes to two hours," according to Patrick M.

Golfing: Convenient course access from Forest Hills Golf and RV Resort allows campers to combine recreational vehicle camping with daily rounds. Open May through October, the resort offers full hookup sites with 50-amp service within walking distance of the first tee.

Outdoor games: Multiple recreation options available at Andes RV Park, where visitors can participate in numerous activities. "The park offers a fantastic range of activities, including golf cart rentals, volleyball, horseshoes, disc golf, pickle ball, etc…and in winter, cross-country skiing and tubing," reports Canada0718 F.

What campers like

Spacious sites: Room between neighbors at Swan Lake Resort & Campground provides more privacy than typical RV parks. "Spaces are wooded and farther apart than most campgrounds," writes Amy J., while Tracy O. confirms "the sites were open and spacious."

Lake access: Direct water frontage attracts families seeking summer recreation. "From the sandy beach and wooded trails to the games and activities, there was energy and thought behind every corner," notes Lagos C. about Swan Lake Resort.

Clean facilities: Well-maintained bathhouses receive consistent positive mentions. At Buffalo River State Park, Patrick M. describes "very clean bathhouse (appears new) with flush toilets, hot showers and a dish-washing station," while StaceeQ Q. adds it's "the best kept state park I have seen" with "restrooms clean and well stocked."

What you should know

Seasonal operation: Limited availability after September affects planning. Most parks in the area operate from May through early October, with Forest Hills Golf and RV Resort, Pelican Hills RV Park, and Golden Eagle RV Village all closing October 1st.

Site density varies: Proximity to neighbors differs significantly between parks. Long Lake Campsite-RV Resort receives mixed reviews on spacing, with Douglas B. noting the campground "probably has 20% more trailers in place than need be. Over-crowded."

Wildlife encounters: Prepare for insects during summer months. "If coming in summer make sure to bring plenty of bug spray!!!" warns Canada0718 F. about Andes RV Park, while Sophia P. confirms "tons of mosquitos" at Buffalo River State Park.

Tips for camping with families

Beach activities: Sandy shorelines provide safe swimming areas for children. Travis L. describes Long Lake Campsite as having a "large sandy beach and beautiful swimming area, store for convenience if forgetful, helpful and friendly staff, huge parking and play area for kids."

Playground access: Dedicated play areas available at several campgrounds. The Homestead at Ottertail RV Park and Resort includes "bathrooms, showers, pool with spacious deck, fish cleaning shack, room to roam, playground, laundry facilities," according to Tori K.

Cabin alternatives: Non-RV accommodations offer flexibility for mixed groups. Swan Lake Resort provides cabin options that Kathy D. found "very clean and comfortable. You can tell they work very hard to make the interior inviting and the kitchen well supplied with nice kitchenware."

Tips from RVers

WiFi connectivity: Signal strength varies across the region. Lee G. reports about Long Lake Campsite: "We stayed here for an entire week and felt very welcomed. We also worked full time from a spot by the main office and their onsite WiFi was pretty fast ~50/10 mbps."

Site selection: Consider location within campground for best experience. Patrick M. notes at Buffalo River State Park: "We stayed in the larger loop with electrical service: half the loop backing up against the prairie (lower numbers) and the other half backing up against the woods (higher numbers)."

Overnight accessibility: Easy interstate proximity makes certain locations convenient for short stays. Helen V. recommends Andes RV Park: "Nice, new rv park. Not far off I 94. Spent 1 night, but slept well due to no noise."
