We all love roasting marshmallows over a campfire—and you can often still do that while cabin camping in French. Finding a cozy cabin in Minnesota has never been easier. Each cabin offers quick access to one or more of French's most popular destinations.
Since 1949, we've been a family-operated resort & campground on Swan Lake in Fergus Falls, MN. We offer lakeside cabins, tent camping, and full hook-up, pull-through RV sites. Here, there is time to slow down, room to breathe, and lots to explore.
Soak up the sun on the sandy beach, hike through the hidden trails, and take the pontoon out for a cruise. Be sure to turn the tech off and challenge a rival to ping pong, crack a cold one, and explore the water on stand-up paddleboard. Bring the little ones and get messy at the arts & crafts table, catch a sunfish off the docks, and indulge in s’mores around the campfire. Don’t forget to show us what you got on the volleyball court and savor an ice cream at the camp store. Curl up in a hammock and get lost in a good book, smile at the flowers and gaze in awe at the night sky. Just be.

My family has been coming here as a group for a few years! We love it here! Nice and quiet. Restroom and shower facilities onsite, some lakefront campsites and some that are not. Public boat launch, sandy swimming beach, picnic shelters. WIFI is provided. There is a dump station, playground, nature trail, volleyball, basketball, horseshoes, and a fish cleaning station. Great place to go kayaking!
Legend
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.

Simple beautiful park with the fall colors, plenty to due and see. Amazing fishing both trout and bass! Well maintained facilities in the park and friendly staff!
ScoutNice, new rv park. Not far off I 94. Spent 1 night, but slept well due to no noise. Golf cart rentals, and trails from the park.
Would definitely recommend.
GuideFor established camping, this park is lovely and spots are spacious. The place is bumpin’ with people but trees provide some sense of privacy but large, louder group was definitely in our vicinity—we couldn’t enjoy the birdsongs as we’d have liked (over 150 species can be found here). Staying at Grass Lake, we might have been able to launch our paddleboards from our site, but would have been a little tricky. Energy was better spent on keeping a fire tended with onslaught of unavoidable mosquitoes. Also, park doesn’t permit burning of found woods in the pits…
ScoutWe were in town for a weekend event and Andes RV Park was outstanding! Friendly service was in the easy check-in and checkout process. It has outstanding trails that they use in the winter time for cross-country skiing with tons of outdoor activities. Brand new restroom and shower facilities with laundry.
ScoutThis 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.
LegendCamped 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.

Wonderful office staff, very kind and helpful. We intended to stay at the tent site but when we arrived we saw a lovely cabin overlooking the lake and decided to give ourselves a treat. It was very clean and comfortable. You can tell they work very hard to make the interior inviting and the kitchen well supplied with nice kitchenware. Highly recommend.
LegendSecond visit to the park but first time camping. Our spot was not private and a bit of a walk to the toilet but everyone was quiet and respectful. It is a very large park with miles of hiking trails and some pretty great mountain biking routes. It is a gem with the fall colors and was full the night we were there.
ScoutHad so much fun. It was quiet. Close to the beach. Showers and bathrooms are clean. Front desk is amazing.
ScoutSites are very spacious, but some are pretty slanted. Beautiful area, just wish the campsites were closer to the beach.
ScoutWe don’t have much of an experience, booked online an electric site that showed full shade and plenty of grass. Got there and no good place to pop up a roof top tent, all dirt, no electric. We had to leave and go get a hotel room

ScoutA corner of the world that keeps on getting better
LegendClose to fargo and moorhead if you're looking for things to do in the area! Like the other state parks you can get firewood at the office and sites come with a fire ring and table.
TravelerEnd 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.
RangerThe essentials are all there. It's the "extras" that make it worth it.
ScoutLoved our stay! Super easy setup for our camper and tons of activities to do as a family! A little cold for us to try out the water amenities but we’ll be back next year!
GuideNice larger sites, usual campground stuff. I stayed across from the lake and it was great. Fire pits, wood for sale, showers, water, etc.
GuideThis campground is right by a lake with almost every activity you could think of! Only bad thing was owner was not in the office for hours at a time. Spaces are wooded and farther apart than most campgrounds. I wish we could have stayed longer than one night.
Scout
Overall had a great experience. Campsites had plenty of space to spread out and enjoy
RangerFrom the sandy beach and wooded trails to the games and activities, there was energy and thought behind every corner.
ScoutWe’ve camped a few times and always had a great time! The lake views are spectacular.
GuideThere 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.
GuideWe stayed here one night in April and it was a nice little place. There is a zoo which is nice for the kids. There is a fire pit and also a grill to use. There is a bathhouse and a shower. It was very easy to back the camper into the spot. There are also cabins available too. There is also a golf course so be sure to bring the clubs!
GuideWe 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!
