Bagley City Park is one of a kind for northern Minnesota. This 30-plus-acre park and campground is located on beautiful Lake Lomond and is a short drive from Itasca State Park, home of the Mississippi Headwaters. The park offers the serenity of northern Minnesota, only with the convenience of civilization just blocks away. You can go out for family dining in the evening, and listen to the loons while you nestle in your sleeping bag.
The park has many things to offer its visitors of all ages:
There is large beach and swimming area. The swimming area is marked by buoys to keep the boats out and there is a roped off area for younger children. Also on the beach there is a sand volleyball court.
The city campground, which is inside the city park, has over 40 RV campsites and over 10 tent sites. 10 seasonal sites southwest of the beach.
The park has basketball and tennis courts. Plus there is a softball field, called the Frog Pond. Oh, and don't forget about the nine hole disc golf course!
The park also offers three large picnic shelters which are located throughout the park. These shelters may be reserved for your upcoming family reunion or events.
If fishing is your recreation of choice, then you’ll be glad to hear that the park has a public access to the lake with a concrete boat ramp and two-boat dock to assist you. Lake Lomond has bluegills, walleye, and northern pike in abundance at almost twice the amount of other lakes in the area.
$15 - $25 / night

There are quite a few RV sites at Shooting Star Casino in Mahnomen and they offer full hookups! We stayed at site 19, shown in the photo. Although the sites are close together, there were quite a few empty sites so we felt like it was semi-private. The cost was about $25 per night so definitely a great deal for full hookups. There is a picnic table at each site and the RV park is pet friendly. We spent a lot of our time in the casino while we were here so our time in the camper was limited but while we slept, we didn't here much noise.

Spent one night here with a pull through with electric only and was $30. You can get full hook ups for I think 35 or $40. The restrooms were clean and showers nice and hot. Town has lots to offer as far as shopping and places to eat. Seem to be several permanent campers here but nice and quiet. Only gave four stars because it is in the middle of town and quite a bit of traffic noise. Also no dump station but we pulled into a full hook up spot to do that.

Feels more like an RV park (like a KOA) than a state park. Lots to do as this is located right in town.

Ashley here from The Dyrt! It was nice to add this RV park with 6 sites. Located next to a gas station, this is a perfect stopover. Let’s help them out and leave some reviews!
Guide
Easy access from freeway. Level sites, though some close together. Beautiful quiet peaceful place. Dump station, electric hookups.
ScoutNicest city-location RV park I've found in the past few years. Very "green" with mature trees, river and city park with walking trails. And, for a city park, especially nice/clean restrooms and showers.
Both FHU and electric-only sites, 30-amp only. Potable water close by for electric-only sites and free dump location across the street. Weekly pump-out service, if desired.
The electric-only sites on the park's east side are the nicest, most spacious, and most quiet because they back up to the forest and river (see photo). The FHU sites are more crowded.
Small town, so everything is very convenient, literally within 3-4 minutes drive -- Walmart, Ace Hardware, Dairy Queen and fast food.
I stayed at the Thief River Falls Tourist Park for several months while workamping at a walking-distance distribution warehouse. I will certainly stay at the park again if ever in the northwest part of Minnesota. I rated the park only 4-stars because of the electric-only sites and the tight FHU sites. For my style of camping -- mostly boondocking -- it is a 5-star location.

I was driving this way and I needed a place to stay overnight. I found this campground on Google, and added to Dyrt. It's in a small town called Fosston.
Nothing special about this, it's not a place to stay for multiple nights but it's great for an overnight.
There is a self-check-in, electric hookups and there is a dumpsite and water at the end of the campground. The price in 2020 September is $5 for a tent and $16 for RVs.
It's quiet enough but you will hear road noise.
I don't use public showers or toilettes but there was one.
AT&T and T-mobile reception both slow but manageable.
Traveler
Very nice place for tent or RV camping. Tenting is $30 and sites with hookups go up $2 per each additional utility. For tenting the nicest site is a walk in site that even has a filtered view of the lake and a path die to the shore. Nice kids area as well as a sandy beach, fishing dock, and boat launch. Only boats for rent are 2 paddle boats and a row boat.
Scout
Loved the full hookup sites. No firepot or staff on-site
Travelerwe love Buffalo River and try to make it out to at least enjoy the trails once a week. it's about a 15 minute drive from Fargo, with a few smaller towns closer for picking up things you may have forgotten.
there are several rv spots and a separate tent section. bathhouse in good condition. trails along and the river and through the prairie. they even have a swimming pond in the summer.
stunning no matter the season
GuideNice enough campground, but appears to be a bit dated. Has full hookup sites or just electric like my site. Both pull thrus and back ins. What I did like most was the site I was in is well separated from others. Located right in town, so of course there is road noise. But restaurants and bars within a block is nice. There’s a Cabellas a couple of blocks away. The bads are no dumpstation on site, older showers and pit toilets, and appears not enough help here to keep the grounds cut and trimmed.. but was still a nice stay with shopping and banking nearby.
LegendWe followed the instructions on the confirmation email across the bridge from Grand Forks to East Grand Forks, MN to check into the campground (CG). After going through the Avenue of Flags and near the Blue Moose Bar& Grill there’s RV parking in front of the little check-in cabin. Check-in was easy and as disabled veterans, we got a free Minnesota State Park Vehicle Pass. We then proceeded to the Sherlock CG, which is the camping area and site 106E. Site 106E is a long pull through with FHUs. Pulling in was super easy and utilities are placed in the middle of the long pad. The utilities worked great with water pressure at about 50 psi. We got two bars on Verizon. There are trees in and around the sites, but we were able to get a clear north shot for Starlink. The sites in our area were well spaced apart, which we really liked. We were on the back row where the cement walking/bike trail is located far enough away that you still have privacy. There are a lot of sites in this CG mostly pull throughs but there are back-ins. They are serious about the vehicle permits and you cannot just lay the pass on your dashboard. It must be adhered to the windshield. We went to the office to clear our ticket, which didn’t cost us anything as we were prompt to respond. The office also has t-shirts, which we purchased. There was not a formal dog park, but plenty of areas to walk. Red River is one of the better CGs we have stayed at in our 5 years of“Most Timing.”

It is a smaller park near downtown and the college. Full hookups available but the water wasn't turned on yet not were the bathrooms open. In summer, it would be very exposed as there are a few smaller trees. The rose garden is adorable. I will have to come back end of summer and see it.
TravelerWas a bit curious about staying at a place that, on the map, was between two towns on a river. This campground was really nice. If you did not want to cook, there are 4 restaurants within 3 blocks of your campsite. And a Cabelas within 4 blocks, so if you forget anything, it’s close by. There are also other stores and restaurants within 5 miles of this campsite.
The nearly full hookups were nice even though we were staying in a tent. The restrooms and showers were nice also.
My only complaint was two things: if the wind is out of the south or southwest, the smell from the Crystal Sugar plant was miserable. And the trains with their horns blaring at 4am was annoying.
Otherwise, I would stay there again, maybe with a camper or tent trailer to drown out the smell and excessive noise.

The campground has either electric or water or just electric sites for RVs and there are also tent-only sites. The tent sites are located across from and adjacent to the RV sites. The RV sites are pretty close together but, we were there in the middle of the summer and there were a couple of open tent sites on one side of us. The campground is pet friendly and the management is friendly. The campground is close to Itasca State Park as well. Others have mentioned that getting in to the campsites near the circle drive area (closest to the lake parking lot) are a little difficult to get into & this is very true. We have an 8x17 Ice Castle/RV that we pull behind the truck and backing into our spot without disturbing other campers was not an easy task. The circle drive is right where the last couple of RV sites are sitting and there is a tree at the point of the circle drive so you have to avoid the tree and maneuver around it when backing in. The sites that are closer to the entrance & the playground that do not have a good view of the lake are easier to get in to. We used the dump station which is nicely situated on a slope just outside the entrance so it's easy to completely pump out a tank that might sit lower on your unit. There was a picnic table and campfire ring at each site.

Talk about a nice hideaway! We found this site Googling free campsites. It is not free it is $15 a night with full hookups! 50amps! My wife and I were so happy to find this place tucked away in the town of Hendrum, MN.
I only took away a star since the facilities are closed and the mosquitos are vicious! There is only room for about 3-4 campers so call in advance for a spot! It is well worth it!

This is a small campground in the city park in the village of MacIntosh. The city park itself is well manicured and well maintained, with community ball fields and picnic areas and playground. It is clearly a much loved community gathering place. The campground within it, though well maintained, has some drawbacks. The area is very open, with few trees and really no shade. It is also located immediately adjacent to Highway 2, a busy 4-lane highway with truck noise, and risky for kids or pets if they wandered away from the campsite. There are basic hookups for RVs if desired, and a dump station with non-potable water. At present time, due to the Covid pandemic, the bathroom facilities are closed for the duration. There is a gas station adjacent to the park that has public facilities. This would not be a destination campground unless you were coming to McIntosh for a family reunion or other town event. It might also be a quick and easy overnight place to camp if you are travelling some en route somewhere else via Hwy 2.
ScoutWe spent a 3-day weekend here as a shake-down cruise for our new camper. It was nice to have full water, electric, and sewer hookups. The sites are well prepared, mostly level and pull-through. We enjoyed being able to bike the greenway on both sides of the river and downtown is just a couple blocks away.
TravelerWe camp here every year. We enjoy trout fishing and swimming. The lake is a spring fed lake so the water is pretty cold. I usually float on a air mattress. This campsite can get pretty busy and some parent don’t supervise their kids very closely. Management does enforce quiet hours and no ATVs are allowed. Most campsites are up the hill and can be quite a walk to the lake. There’s security during the busy season. Electric and water hook ups are available. Management is very friendly.
GuideStayed here one night while on a work trip, trying to maximize summer fun. Remarkably quiet considering it’s right in town. There is a single bathroom with flush toilet and sink, and a single shower room. Both were clean. My site had nicely spaced trees for hanging a hammock and an electric hookup. Pull through and back in sites available for either tent ($5 per night) or RV ($16 per night) camping. Bring exact change as payment is done via an envelope in a dropbox mounted on the main gate.
LegendWell maintained park and facilities. Smallish campground with electric hookups and nice sanitation station and water fill station. Everything from large class A to tents can fit in back in camp sites. Beautiful native prairie and river forest. Spotless and new shower house.
RangerNice, small campsite. We stayed a couple of times late summer/early fall 2019. Bummer was the swimming beach was closed for the summer. Some trails that were nice to check out. Electric hook-ups. No playground. Definitely recommend sites on the outer loop, especially along the tree line. Great colors in the fall!
GuideThis is an in the city campground that is clean and well maintained. Showers are free and seem to last forever on one push of the button. It’s walking distance close to restaurants, a movie theater and other stores/shops. It’s also set along the Greater Grand Forks greenway with miles of paved bike/walking/jogging paths on both sides of the river. Sites are pretty large and open some more shaded than others but it really seems to be used most by larger motor homes, 5th wheels and travel trailers. If you are a tenter you can camp but you are not going to be out in the secluded woods , you will see your fellow campers and their rigs. The campground is quiet for an in city campground and there is some car/road noise but it’s more like white background noise that really did not intrude on our 3 night stay. If you want a nice campground to spend a few day this is a great spot, if you need privacy and seclusion and miles of wide open wilderness pass it by. Oh and for the kids and young at heart there ice cream truck that travels through a couple times a day/evening...
LegendThis campground(CG) was easy to find. Because it was a Tuesday during the off-season, the check-in gate was not open, so we proceeded back to site 24, which was electric only(50/30/20 AMP) for our two-night stay. This small state park has many trees, but with the road being wide enough, the trees weren't in the way, and with no ditch this was an easy back-in. The sites here are also nicely spaced. A park ranger came by later and gave us our post and vehicle tags. There was highway and train noise. There are mature trees in the CG, but we were able to get enough north sky for Starlink. On Verizon, we got 3 bars. There is potable water at the dump station, which is at the park entrance. The shower/restroom facility was in good shape and clean. We enjoyed the trails, some interpretative, around this state park. As the nights were cooler, we opened our bedroom windows and noticed that trains ran almost continuously through the night. Overall, we had a good visit and would consider staying here again.
GuideThis the most urban state park campground in MN. It’s within East Grand Forks. Not quiet and felt like a town of RVs. Great amenities and coffee nearby, not wild.
LegendNot going to say anything that everybody else hasn't said in the reviews but I thought it was charming there's space between the campers and well there's no privacy there tends not to be in city campgrounds. Also it's right on the River trails so if you're a biker it's fun to do the loop that goes from both the North Dakota and the Minnesota side. The bike trails also connect you to the larger city and there's several other very charming parks and downtown neighborhoods or downtown houses to see. The walk-in sites near the river are quite nice I wouldn't come here if you wanted to be in a quiet state park but that's not the intent of the park and it's a good use of the green space. I'm fully self-contained so I didn't use the bathrooms I've heard their little bit older but there's water there's sewer there's electric sites their sites with electric only and then their sites for just camping also group sites.
GuideI'm always looking for a campsite late in the afternoon. And this one turned out to be perfect. I pulled into East Grand forks. Got out my phone and started looking, and I said oh, there's a state campground right near here. Here. Right in town in fact. I'm traveling with the dog on this trip so I'm always looking for places that I can run the dog, if possible off leash in the morning. Well, technically you're not supposed to have docs off leash here, there's plenty of space down along the river and trails that go away from the campground where the dog can have a little bit of a free exercise. Because it's October, the place is almost empty. And I got one of the no hookup sites, so it was reasonably priced.
