    Camp Everyday Winona

    Very accommodating, friendly, quiet. Best customer service!

    We were visiting our daughter in nearby Winona, MN. This place is also close to La Crosse WI. We stayed here three nights. We had very loose plans and called for a tent spot six months before our reservations. I was impressed Sandy, from front office, remembered me and our conversation. We upgraded to a cabin because rain and cold nights were expected. The cabin was the one for 4 people. The bed was really comfortable! There was a queen and a set of bunk beds. The cabin is small. Besides the bed there was one chair, a table, and a heater. No bathroom. The heater didn't work and it was replaced promptly. Cute little porch with a swing seat. It was all we needed so it was fine. The bathrooms were exceptionally clean. Hubby and son had a good hot shower, mine took awhile to heat up and stay heated. Laundry room was clean. There was a rec room with a pool table and pinball machines. There's a pool there but it was empty when we got there. Too cold to swim anyway. A large shelter area has a gas grill we were able to use. The two 4-person cabins are right by the entry way. You are far enough from the highway that traffic noise is not a problem. The main tent/RV area is behind the office. The sites are close together. The bigger cabin has a half bath and is in this area but a bit secluded.There's a playground for kids near the tent area. There is a creek that runs through the campground and you have the great Mississippi river on the other side of the highway. I really can't say enough though about the customer service of this place. Sandy was very accommodating to our changing needs. Even let us use the dump station a day early. I would stay here again. There aren't a lot of options in Winona and this was the least expensive and friendly!

    Eagle Cliff Campground and Lodging

    Perfect set-up

    This campground has it all. Situated right along the Root River next to the bike trail. They offer kayak, canoe and tube rentals and shuttles. They also have bike rentals.

    This facility is clean and very well kept. Even the shower rooms are very nice and sanitary.

    This is by far my favorite camping spot. I would recommend this place to any and everyone. Family orientated and pet friendly.

    Aefintyr

    Aefintyr is a gem in the Whitewater area!

    Aefintyr has it all!

    A beautiful cabin, hike-in glamping or bring your own gear.

    I was able to stay in the cabin for a couple nights with two friends. The cabin was cozy even during winter. The space was perfect for us. 

    I also brought my own gear and camped up on the bluff. It was so fun to socialize in the shared space around the fire and play games. 

    If you are up in the bluff, be sure to wear good shoes for the hike up. 

    I love that each site has it's own fire pit with fire wood.

    The Whitewater area is so beautiful, I enjoy hiking in the area.

    Looking forward to going back!

    Chester Woods Park

    Great weekend spot!

    Chester Woods is a county park just east of Rochester, MN. It has a campground and man-made lake (created when Bear Creek was dammed for a flood control project) with hiking trails, a horse trail, picnic shelters, a beach, and a playground. The campsites have nice, soft ground for tents, and electrical outlets are available. It can get noisy on the weekend, but the sites are nice along the edge of the campground.

    The lake offers the opportunity to fish for panfish, catfish, and bass. There are a lot of submerged trees from before the Creek was dammed that provide good habitat in deep water, and there is also good shoreline structure and weed beds. There is a fish cleaning house next to the campground which has electric lighting, but no running water.

    Minneiska Campground — Whitewater State Park

    Nice state park

    Stayed here for a couple nights on a mini state park road trip. Nice place, like most of the MN state parks. Spotty cell service. Hiked a trail with lots of steps. Fire ring and picnic table are provided at each site. Restroom with showers also available in campground. Site was large and easy to back into and offered some tree cover for shade during certain times of the day. Was unable to hang hammock in specific site we stayed at, but some of the sites looked like they would be suitable.

    Chester Woods Park

    Nice County Park

    Nice park for everyone’s type from tents, cabins and all size RV’s. Electric only at the camp sites but have water and dump station on site. Clean bathrooms and showers. Best value I’ve seen for fire wood. Has many walking trails that you can take your dog on and just a couple that you can’t.

    Hok-Si-La City Park & Campground

    Perfect Camping Getaway!

    This is one of my favorite campgrounds in Southern Minnesota! It is only 1 1/2 hours away from the TwinCities which makes it an ideal getaway. The campsites are wooded and have enough distance between them that noise is minimal. I especially love the view of Lake Pepin and the nice little swimming beach. On our last stay, we were able to watch eagles from our campsite, which was amazing. They have recently added 3 small cabins to rent which would be a nice alternative to tent camping. If you do plan a camping trip to Hok-Si-La and you're driving in from the Twin Cities, be sure to take Wisconsin Highway 35 through Maiden Rock, Stockholm, Pepin, and other small towns. You can loop back into Minnesota through Wabasha. This adds about an extra half hour to your drive but it is definitely worth it!

    Hok-Si-La City Park & Campground

    Beautiful!

    Such a quaint town and park!

    We spent one night here and booked it for our wedding venue as well! The lake view was spectacular and the park manager, Joanne was so humble! Joanne lives on the grounds so it made for easy access to any answers we needed while camping. We were looking for an outdoor space surrounded by tall trees for our 2020 ceremony and this site hit the sweet spot! There are a number of grassy campsites as well as dirt sites. Bunk cabins are available as well! We stayed right on the edge of the lake and absolutely loved it. So serene!🙌🏾May is the perfect time to go if you’re looking for some peace and quiet away from other campers. This campsite also doesn’t allow cars or generators on any of the camping spots, so be sure to keep that in mind!

    Can’t wait to go back!


Guide to Kellogg

Cabins near Kellogg, Minnesota sit within the scenic Driftless Area, characterized by steep forested ridges, spring-fed streams, and limestone bluffs that escaped glaciation during the last ice age. Winter temperatures often drop below freezing from December through February, with summer highs averaging in the 80s F. The region's unique topography creates varied microclimates affecting cabin camping conditions throughout different seasons.

What to do

Hiking at Whitewater State Park: Access over 10 miles of trails suitable for various skill levels. "I spent a day here hiking and had a blast! I hiked up Chimney Rock and then looped back to tackle part of the Dakota trail! The hiking paths were well taken care of," notes Sarah C. about Whitewater State Park.

Fishing opportunities: Cast for trout in spring-fed streams or try bass fishing at several locations. "Lots of spots for great fishing," mentions Leda T. from Whitewater State Park. The region is known for quality trout streams that maintain consistent water temperatures year-round.

Winter exploration: Some cabin accommodations remain open during colder months. "I had the entire State Park to myself. It was super cool but eerie. Great hikes and the view from the top was worth it," shares Erik R. about his off-season experience at Whitewater State Park.

Biking the Root River Trail: Access paved trails directly from some cabin locations. "Located on the Root River. If you're a bicyclist, campgrounds on great paved trail," explains Dan K. from Eagle Cliff Campground.

What campers like

Minimal insects: Several locations report fewer biting insects than typical Minnesota camping areas. "Best part: very few mosquitoes!! (The cold, constantly moving water helps keep them away)," shares a Whitewater visitor. This makes cabin stays more comfortable, especially during summer months.

River access: Many cabin rentals provide direct access to water features. "The Root River goes right alongside most of the campsites which creates a really peaceful space," notes Jen H. about Eagle Cliff Campground's riverside cabins.

Seasonal flexibility: Some cabin options remain open beyond the typical camping season. "We visited in winter (February) and while there was snow on the ground, the spaces were kept plowed with easy access to the electric boxes," reports Amy G. from Chester Woods Park.

Clean facilities: Multiple reviews highlight well-maintained amenities across cabin locations. "Restrooms, showers, the area is so clean! We felt very welcome," shares Niki und Uwe S. about Big River Resort.

What you should know

Reservation requirements: Most cabin locations require advance booking, especially during summer and fall color seasons. "Advanced reservations are recommended during peak summer months" at many locations, with some sites bookable up to a year in advance.

Variable amenities: Cabin options range from basic shelter to fully furnished accommodations. "Our site was large and easy to back into, all sites have a picnic table and fire ring. We had no cell service at our site, but 2 bars plus WIFI outside the visitor center," explains Karla J.B. about Whitewater.

Seasonal closures: Several cabin rental options operate on limited schedules. "The campground has far more spaces than you can reserve this time of year (typical of 'winter' camps at State Parks in MN)," notes a Whitewater State Park winter visitor.

Woodland settings: Most cabin accommodations feature wooded surroundings with varying degrees of privacy. "The campground is very green and luscious, full of beautiful trees, plants and wildlife, we heard bullfrogs, owls, woodpeckers and more," shares Beth W. about Hok-Si-La City Park.

Tips for camping with families

Swimming options: Several cabin locations provide swimming access during warm months. "We had so much fun playing on the river and exploring the park! Everything is right there and the river is so pretty!" comments Kate H. about Whitewater State Park.

Nature programs: Check visitor centers for scheduled activities suitable for children. "Big nature store with lots of great stuff," notes one Whitewater visitor, with many locations offering interpretive programs during peak season.

Multiple recreation options: Look for cabin locations with diverse activities. "The campground is clean. Nice bathrooms and easy access. Found a site paid online," reports Sharon G. about her Whitewater experience with family.

Educational opportunities: Several locations offer learning experiences alongside cabin accommodations. "Despite the rain we had a great time! Because of the rain we went to the eagle center near Wisconsin. A must see if you're looking for something indoors!" recommends Kate H.

Tips from RVers

Site specifications: Check site dimensions when booking cabin alternatives. "If you're close enough to the office wifi available. Some sites are tight for large motor homes, 5th wheelers and travel trailers," warns Dan K. about Eagle Cliff Campground.

Utility connections: Confirm available hookups when selecting cabin alternatives. "Nice place but it is a campground not an rv park, 30 & 50 amp service but no water hookup (fill when you come in) and dump tanks when leaving," explains Kevin about Chester Woods Park.

Winter considerations: Some locations maintain limited cabin and RV sites during colder months. "We were in a teardrop trailer. Plenty of space for the car and the teardrop in space #202, but all spaces that were plowed had plenty of room to pull in," shares Amy G. about winter camping at Whitewater.

Speed restrictions: Note campground rules regarding vehicle movement. "Don't speed (5 mph limit!) and they are serious!" warns Bill K. about Eagle Cliff Campground regulations.
