Guide
I'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.

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.
TravelerSmall quiet camping
ScoutGood: green, lots of trees, big dog park, adjacent city park and trail, cute town. Bad: hook-ups are awful—they are behind your RV spot, shared with the RV behind you; shared power pedestals so only one gets 50amp, whoever gets there first; the 20amp breaker was useless; sewer connections are 90° angle and 1/2” off ground so almost impossible to use sewer elbow and they have sewer flies; water is a pex tube coming out of the ground, shared, and had a unremovable fitting that did not allow me to connect my pressure regulator. Some sites have utilities on the COMPLETE OPPOSITE side of standard RV connections requiring two additional sewer hoses and extra power cord. Ridiculous.
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.
GuideWe stayed here for 2 nights on the way north to Canada and another night after crossing the border again. It is a lovely park with large crescent shaped pull thru sites (There are some back-ins as well). Sites are well spaced with plenty of trees and green spaces in between. Super walking trails, great playground, walking distance to restaurants and downtown.
We would stay here again.
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.”

The campground is really nice. It's full of regular repeat campers every week. Not really a place, I would come and stop for a night or two. There's a tiny lake and it's very pretty, but it's not really. A place designed for travelers or overnighters, you could do it. There was a price on the wall, but I think most of the people here are people that are here every weekend.
Ranger
The campground is tiny but there are showers, bathrooms and water readily available and I think it is a lightly used park. Good trails, nice exhibits and a surprising amount of wildlife. The river was very high and overall very wet summer so far but green.
Scout
I stayed at the campground last fall and I found a really nice spot in the back where the trees also line the river. Privacy was most important as I brought my 2 dogs with me. I am now going to digress for a minute---how many pet owners know that when they cross the borders, they MUST have a dog passport with them with strict rules and regulations to follow? I don't know about Canada but for sure if you cross the border into the States.
Anyways, the camp host was a little annoyed that I showed up without a reservation,but when he saw me pull out the exact amount of the fee -------- It turned, out he was a nice guy!
This year I spoke to a female camp host. She said this was her first year, and I think some of the responsibilities were overwhelming. We verbally made a reservations for 4 nights ..... the same spot as last year, with her and said I would email our discussion. I emailed to the address that was shown on your web page and got a very curt reply telling me they didn't take care that. I am disappointed as I thought I did what I was supposed to do, so she probably won't even remember my call to her, or get my email.
ScoutRight outside national wetland refuge, no amenties and no upkeep during the summer months till deer season, plenty of wooded sites minimal hammock trees, several sites large enough for campers.
RangerNot 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.

I saw this from the freeway and thought I would stop and look. It's a sizable campground for people who work on the sugar beet in the fall but available the rest of the year. They're all full hookups you need to call the phone number to get a spot but it's well shaded and very few permanent campers here right now.
Ranger
Pleasantly surprised the park is cute. It has lots of trees it has water and electric hookups in a lot of the spots. There is only one camper here when I pulled in and they look like they're permanent camper. There's a sugar plant just down the road which I wonder if you'll have those smells depending on which way the wind is blowing. Otherwise not sure why you would stop here except if traveling through.
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.
TravelerBusy on weekends, near restaurants and other businesses
LegendThis park and campground are both pretty small but still a great stay! I was here early in the season...a lot of the trails had flooding. The hiking club trail was particularly bad as a good portion was at least ankle deep. My dog had to be carried so I wasn't able to get pictures of that 🤣
LegendFeels more like an RV park (like a KOA) than a state park. Lots to do as this is located right in town.
GuideBeautiful well maintained park with large sites
ScoutWe have been to this campground for a quite a few times…we have missed out for a couple years now because of the situation. We booked again for 2022 to get back to good camping with family and friends
TravelerExcellent location. Lots to walk too. FHUs. I stayed here while doing a workamping job for nearly 2 months. They keep the restrooms very clean. Good wifi and cell reception.
ScoutQuiet, easy access, 50 amp, water and sewer.
ScoutThe FamCamp is located on the Grand Forks AFB, and sits in what used to be family housing. Some of the connections are difficult, and a bit odd. But, the FamCamp offers some shade and full hookups.
GuideNice little campground with a shower and toilet very clean quick walk to a great lake to swim and enjoy not crowded nice people.
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.
Legend
This is a well kept campground in a beautiful town park in Newfolden. It would be a good option for a stop if travelling through the area, or wanting a smaller quieter option than the busy campground at nearby Lake Bronson. Much of the park facilities have been renovated in recent years, providing a beautiful picnic shelter, gardens and play areas. Bathrooms are provided. It would be a great place for a family reunion or other group gathering for folks from the area.
Note: no fires are allowed currently, especially with the drought and fire danger throughout the region.
GuideSites are decent size, and ample space between. No dump station.
