Lake views
stayed here in the winter when the park was doing their lantern-lit snowshoe trail. They have 1 site available in the winter (125e I believe.. in the lower campground). We had room for a truck bed camper and a pop up clam ice fishing tent. Fire ring and picnic table at the site. The bathrooms and showers were closed for the season but cannot recall. Firewood is available at the office.

Beautiful trails, easy to walk
Nice trails along the Mississippi River, easy to walk, good signage on trails, and good information signs with history of each site along the trail.
Very Clean men’s bathroom. One shower needs a new shower head.
Sites 40 to 45 are very nice and secluded. Sites 58 and 59 are prime secluded sites.

Bougie "camping". More like a living room with no roof...
This is a great state park. Group camping comes with its own bathroom building and shelter building with wood stove. The water is quite clean. Also there's even hot water in the bathroom.

Semi Secluded Site
The campsite was pretty wooded on most sides. I visited in the late spring so there were quite a few mosquitos since the campground is near the river. Bathrooms/showers were cleanish, water was mid from the outdoor taps but not horrible
Teresa T.RangerCrow Wing State Park Campground
What you expect in the state park
This is a more rustic State Park. There's lots of history here most of it is just a plaque not actually something to see. The river was really high and there was a fair amount of mosquitoes outside but a lot of trails and a lot of signs and a lot of history in the park.
Renee H.RangerCrow Wing State Park Campground
Wooded with abundant hiking and biking nearby
Nice wooded campground. Gravel sites, fairly level. Water fill and firewood available at the registration building. The water was high in iron. Canoe and kayak rentals available. Lots of trails for hiking and biking. Bring bug spray in the summer!
Historical sites along hiking path. Bathrooms and showers were decent. Dump station on site.

Pretty Campground - Lower Loop
Camped here on Oct 9, 2023. Large wooded campground on the lakefront. Easy access to the beach. Hiking trail. Very clean restroom/shower house. Level gravel campsite with metal fire ring and table. Water spigot short walk from campsite. Campground can accomodate all sorts of camping rigs. Paved campground loop road. Nice hosts and park ranger. Need to reserve online. Quiet. peaceful evening.

Great spot
We stayed in a cabin for a week of biking. Excellent location with all the trails. It has a great swimming area, though it did get deep fast for little kids. We brought our paddleboard and had a great time on the quiet lake. We did hike up to the top of the camp area and were glad we stayed in the cabins. The shower/bathroom house was nice. Overall, we would stay here again.

Loved every minute of this trip!
Lots to do here, very fun, very friendly staff. If you are looking for a good vacation, come here you won’t be disappointed!

Woodsong Campground
Negative, rude, controlling environment
Postives- clean and well kept, seasonal campers were friendly, lady manager friendly
Negatives- Branches in way of taller campers and would be tough to back into nightly sites if not used to backing in trailers. Didn't even bother to use dump station on way out which was on an incline and in the way of a main intersection. Not worth the money with not having sewer at campsite. If you want to stay here because of the pool and hot tub and have kids, the kids can't even touch the deck around the hot tub without getting yelled at by a crabby, negative-vibe male manager. Can't enter or exit pool area without walking through lodge building invades privacy a bit. At midnight we heard people outside our camper talking and laughing, even though their quiet time started earlier. Feelings of being watched through the windows of lodge and on camera was creepy. Hard to idle and brake enough with a high powered vehicle to be slow enough to be under their speed limit. In which crazy male manager came biking after us to charge a$5 fine, and had no change to break a larger bill. No proof of speed on radar gun, computer or electric sign while driving in campground so not sure how he thinks he can enforce that. Saw plenty of vehicles on driveway going faster. Just a really bad, creepy atmosphere and negative vibe towards new guests and kids. Had we we planned on more nights we would have left early.
Emilie V.GuideSunset Pines Campground
Wow! Great management, beautiful place!
One of the best campgrounds I’ve ever been to. The only negative for us was the fact that we had to go to a laundromat in town.
Scott S.GuideCrow Wing State Park Campground
Great Campsites
Nice park on the Mississippi and Crow Wing Rivers. The park encompasses the 1850’s town of Crow Wing. Great hiking trails. A lot of mosquitoes. Bring spray.

Crow Wing Lake Campground
Lake spots
Fun for the whole family. Amenities include: playground, pool, lake, dog park, and store. Each site has a table and fire pit. Keep an eye on your account. We noticed goggles charged to ours even though none of the 3 of us bought any. Somebody must've given them the wrong site number to charge to. Overall great campground, but a little spendy.

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.

Meets camping expectations
Tent site is an open area with tall trees. It also offered an open view of the night sky & enjoyed watching the full moon! Next to the shower house which makes it a convenient trip to the bathroom. Stayed one night but will stay longer when bringing the kayaks. Price for this spot made my trip super cheap!

One night welcome, not preferred
Our quick stay was fine as we were passing through. This campground definitely caters to seasonal stays although was a convenient location off the highway.
Restrooms were nice and they had a compost area too.
RV Site with Sewer was $45/day (had all three water, electricity, sewage) thought this was a little pricey

On The Lake
Nice larger sites, usual campground stuff. I stayed across from the lake and it was great. Fire pits, wood for sale, showers, water, etc.

Crosslake Campground
Beautiful campground
Lovely park on cross lake. Sites are large although not alway easy for bigger rigs to get into due to trees. But trees are part of the beauty. Camp amenities in good shape. A bit strict on leasing your dogs (even when they are in you campsite and behaving!) Coffee shop and gas station across street. Firewood on site for$6 a bundle
JOSEPH D.ScoutSunset Pines Campground
Great Rv/Cabin rentals.
Really reasonable rates. Clean and detailed bathroom and showers. Laundry available. 30, 50 amp hookups. Back in trailer sites. Nice cabins, very reasonable rates. Everything REALLY CLEAN. beautiful swimming pool. Owners, Bill and Candy Ruttger are GREAT people, very helpful. This property offers great value! See their website.
Keith L.GuideLake Carlos State Park Campground
Nice campground with one problem.
There are plenty of campsite in the lower area that are very close to the water and good for RV people who do not care for privacy (like camping on a golf course). If you want privacy, go for the upper area which is completely forested with plenty of trees and brush between sites. I was in site 17 and was totally pleased... With one exception.
I paid full price for this site. But, the restrooms. showers, and water were shut off. If I am paying full high season rates, I want full services!!!!!! I appreciate there is no padlocked gate keeping people out in the off season. But, if it easy to turn off the water, showers, and bathrooms, it should also be easy to create a reduced rate for reduced services. Some other County, State, and Federal campgrounds charge nothing for no services off season camping. What is Minnesota's problem? Give people what they pay for!!!
This is purely a ripoff. It left me with a very unpleasant memory of this area and Minnesota.
Joe S.GuideLake Carlos State Park Campground
Beautiful Place to Stay
We have been camping here in the middle of October for about 5 years now. The views in the fall are amazing! There are awesome trails through the woods and the chance to see plenty of wildlife. I only gave it 4 stars because the park rangers were rather rude this year compared to years passed. The bathrooms and shower houses are very well kept and the water gets hot enough too!

Lake Carlos State Park Campground
Very nice state campground
This campground has a upper and lower loop for camping. The lower is on the lake and the upper is more in the trees. The lower has a pretty view and is right on the lake but the sites are pretty close together. There seems to be a little more space in the upper loop but there is no view of the lake and it is quite a hike to get to it. Overall a very nice campground but I can imagine it is very busy in the summer.

Awesome camping!
This campground has to be one of the best privately owned hidden gems. This place is a family camping dream. I can’t wait to go back another time.

Crow Wing State Park Campground
Family fun!!
We introduced our youngest to camping at this campground. It’s a crazy story. In summary you couldn’t ask for a better first time family campground as far as my sons first camping experience lol well I’m surprised he doesn’t deeply hate camping. Everything that could of went wrong did including rain on a clear forecast and we didn’t equip the rain fly.
