This is a sweet and easy spot right on the river. It could be buggy during warmer weather but in late October it was great and we had the place to ourselves.

Fall colors
Vault toilet. Oak lake level on the lake. Across the road up the hill nice spot overlooking lake.
David L.GuideCrosby Memorial City Park
Convenient to town
The great part about this campground was that it was conveniently located in the attractive town of Crosby. The sites were small and close together. The most negative part was the restrooms. They were very old and used by all the people enjoying the lake & park. It would be nice to have a restroom facility dedicated to campers only. The concept of a campground in the city park is wonderful, but could use just a little more fine tuning.

Peaceful
Nice big camping spots. Very peaceful area with good tree coverage between sites. FULL HOOK-UP!!!!! Loved the info board with games to play & businesses offering discounts. Crosby is a fun little town with tons of shops & eateries. We made use of the kayak rental in town & it was super convenient. Literally just had to show up & hop in. Kayaking in the middle area was amazing. See frogs, fish, soft shell turtles, beautiful rocks & scenery. I wish I'd brought my bike to ride the trails. Just means I have to go back!

Crosby Memorial City Park
Ugh, don’t know why I was expecting
In town campground near in a busy park. Wasn’t to bad during the day but was awful at night. More street lights than I had anticipated but the worst was how many people drove through parking area of park late at night with loud music or the police using bright search lights after midnight or pulling people over in the parking lot. Only one shower in a public restroom with prison style equipment. If you want to be in town this is your spot otherwise I would look into other campgrounds.

Cross Lake Recreation Area
Nice developed campground
This is a large and popular developed campground. With camping options for a variety of campers. There are sites with both water and electric, some with just electric, and some without either. Do not expect quiet or solitude. This is a busy place. There are 2 shower houses with restrooms. Only 1 vault toilet. There are water spigots. There was only one boat launch in operation. The only garbage is by the park entrance. The biggest fault is the lack of facilities for the size of the campground. That being said the sites are spacious, shaded, and well maintained. This is a great place for boating and the beaches are nice and one is dog friendly. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Awesome Spot!
Great location, with large sights. Out sight was surrounding by wild Raspberries so that was also a bonus. They had a scavenger hunt/ and campground bingo that was DIY that my daughters loved. 10/10 campground, would definitely recommend.

Camp Holiday Resort and Campground
Wonderful Place!
We have been going up to Camp Holiday for about 5 years now and staying in the same campsite. We just love this place. We have the same neighbors every year so it is like having a family reunion each time. It is so clean and quiet and the sunsets are absolutely beautiful. It is so nice just sitting by the lake listening to the loons. It is hard to leave at the end of the week! Thank you Camp Holiday for giving us such a great week every year!

Father Hennepin State Park Campground
Cozy little state park right on the water!
I stayed here last summer (2025)and am planning on staying here this summer as well.
The park is smaller than it's sister park Mille Lacs Kathio, but it definitely has some things that are better about it!
I stayed in the Maplewood campground, which I recommend if you like quiet and privacy. The sites are further apart and give you a more "in the woods" feel. The other campground (lake view) is more traditional RV style camping where the sites are fairly close. However they have some sites (small and close together) that have views directly of the lake, if that's your thing.
I stayed at site 96 which was verrrrry deep and felt pretty private. It's backed up to the woods so you don't have anyone behind you. It has a nice tent pad, and plenty of space for canopies or other equipment. It's a short walk down to the water too, where there's a fishing pier really close by, and a large beach a little further down. I went in very early June and the mosquitoes honestly weren't terrible yet, but the caterpillars were everywhere! There were caterpillars all over my tent, in my sandals I left outside my tent, on my car, etc. When I found one I just relocated them to a safer area in the woods. Lots of deer, you can hear owls at night, squirrels etc. It is bear country, but I didn't see any bears. I kept my food locked up in my car.
One night it was kind if windy and you could hear the waves on the lake from the tent, so that was kinda cool.
I have t mobile and had decent service here as well.
Guide to Ironton
RV campgrounds near Ironton, Minnesota typically open from mid-spring through mid-fall, with most facilities closing by October. The area sits within the Cuyuna Lakes region at approximately 1,250 feet elevation, characterized by former mining pits now filled with water. Cell service throughout the region varies significantly between providers, with Verizon generally offering the strongest coverage at most campgrounds.
What to do
Golfing access: Several RV parks integrate with golf courses for convenient play. At Fiddlestix RV and Golf Resort, "seasonal guests can golf on the weekends/holidays for free as part of their package, so tee times are needed," although the course was "under new design construction due to adding additional sites, but it was playable."
ATV trail riding: Connect directly to extensive trail networks from select campgrounds. Trails Inn Quadna Mountain Motel & RV Campground offers "hundreds of miles of ATV trails connected right to the RV park," making it convenient for riders who want direct trail access without trailering.
Winter ice fishing: While most Ironton area RV parks close for winter, some cater specifically to ice fishing. At Hidden Bay RV Resort, one visitor noted, "I'm talking winter camping on the lake on the Ice in an 'Ice castle' catching walleye... well plowed roads, nice showers. Lots of other ice fisherman in January and February."
What campers like
Large, spacious sites: Many campers appreciate the ample room at area campgrounds. At Hardy's Lake in the Woods RV Resort, "the sites are very large and it is nicely wooded. They have a few areas where the sites are more in the open but not many. The owners are very nice and were even delivered firewood to our site."
Water recreation: Free water equipment adds value at some resorts. Birch Bay RV Resort includes "free kayak and paddle board use, nice little onsite store. Be aware much of the place is seasonal rentals but these sites are kept very tidy. Whole place is immaculate. Also have 3 docs and a small boat landing."
Local trail connectivity: The Paul Bunyan Trail provides cycling opportunities from several campgrounds. Wildwedge Golf and RV Park visitors appreciate that they "rode our bikes on the Paul Bunyan Trail to Nisswa and had some ice cream at The Chocolate Ox. Did a little shopping and got a beer at the brewery."
What you should know
Visitor policies vary: Some resorts restrict guest access or charge fees. One camper at Birch Bay RV Resort noted: "We give this resort 5 stars because, despite it not being visitor friendly, they are up front in their policies about visitors and the place is great in all other respects. If you want to have visitors while staying here it is best to consider these policy before visiting."
Seasonal camper presence: Many RV parks near Ironton have a high percentage of seasonal occupants. At Fiddlestix RV and Golf Resort, "just about every seasonal guest here has a golf cart, and they drove them around continuously during our Labor Day stay. Many of the seasonals also had ATVs, which they took off to ride the local trails."
Location accuracy: Some campgrounds can be difficult to find. Minnesota National RV Park visitors advised: "Our RV GPs took us to the golf course, but we called the info phone number, which was the golf course clubhouse, to find out exactly how to get to the campground area. We were told to take the main road into the clubhouse."
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Several campgrounds offer dedicated play areas. Birch Bay RV Resort features a "huge kiddy play area on water" while other parks maintain playgrounds near central facilities.
Swimming options: Pools are available at select locations. When visiting Hardy's Lake in the Woods RV Resort, one camper mentioned "the pool wasn't ready yet but it is very large," indicating that pool availability may depend on seasonal timing.
Kid-friendly activities: Look for campgrounds with recreation beyond standard amenities. RV Resort Village is described as "tucked away from the highway, so it was very quiet and peaceful. The grounds were beautifully landscaped with full grass," providing safe spaces for children to play.

Extended stay considerations: Several RV parks offer both short-term and seasonal options.
