Afton State Park Campground
Denmark, Minnesota36 Reviews93 Photos196 SavesLocated on the St. Croix River, just 20 miles east of Saint Paul, Afton State Park is great for those looking for camping near Minneapolis and is 1600 acres of rolling prairies, oak woodlands, and limestone river canyons amid an ancient glacial landscape. The land for the park was acquired in 1967, but it took almost 15 years of planning revisions and compromises with local residents before the park finally opened in 1982. Little development has gone into Afton State Park in an effort to maintain its natural characteristics, and former farmland atop the bluffs are continuously being restored to their original state. This makes Afton an ideal destination for campers looking to experience the outdoors in a wilder setting.
Load up your backpack with all you’ll need for your stay, as camping at Afton State Park requires a hearty, 0.75-mile hike in from the parking area. The year-round campground offers 27 rustic sites with picnic tables and fire pits, with options for pitching your tent in either open or wooded areas. There is drinking water, a vault toilet and firewood is supplied within the camp area. There is also three boat-in campsites, and two group campsites that can accommodate up to 60 people each. If you’d rather not rough it, the park also offers four camping cabins and two yurts, some of which are wheelchair accessible. There are also several picnic areas and restrooms within the park. Campsite rates range from $15–$23/night; cabins range from $55–$70/night, and yurts $50–$65/night.
When you’re ready to explore, start at the park’s Nature Store where you can pick up information about the park’s flora and fauna, or join a nature walk. Then choose from more than 20 miles of hiking, biking, and equestrian trails, as well as a short barrier-free path. If you’re visiting in winter, many of these trails are open for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. Bring your GPS and go on a geocaching treasure hunt, or bring your binoculars and go on safari for a variety of migratory birds, waterfowl, and wildlife, including deer, foxes and badgers. And little ones will love becoming Junior Park Naturalists and learning about bugs, birds, plants and other critters. If you’re looking for a real outdoor adventure, Afton State Park has what you’re looking for.

Kozy Oaks Kamp
Lent, Minnesota5 Reviews2 Photos31 SavesKozy Oaks Kamp is a family owned, family friendly campground offering activities for all ages. Kozy Oaks Kamp is conveniently located on Horse leg lake, a small non-motorized environmental lake. Due to the depth of the lake, it is subject to winter freeze and is not a good fishing lake but great for small non-motorized water craft. There are many good fishing lakes in the area Kozy Oaks is near Blaine sports center, Almelund, North Branch, Cambridge, Isanti, Lindstrom, Stacy, Taylors Falls and Forest Lake, Minnesota. It is less than an hour's drive north from the Twin Cities on interstate 35. The grounds are adjacent to hiking and biking trail access at Irving and John Anderson County Park.

Stone Creek Farm
Taylors Falls, Minnesota1 Review7 Photos13 SavesLeave your tent at home and cozy up in the dome or yurt tent both equipped outhouses, fire pits, and picnic tables. If you love stargazing, the dome will be perfect for you to fall asleep below the night sky surrounded a tall grass field. If you would rather spend your time in the shade of the forest, book the yurt for a great hangout whether you are barbequing or just lounging.
The surrounding farmland is great for walks around the ranch, seeing wildlife, and petting farm animals. This farm is right down the road from Interstate State Park which is great for hiking, biking, water sports, fishing, and swimming.
Bring your own food, sleeping bags, and mats. Firewood is available for purchase.

Country Camping Tent & RV Park on the Rum River
Gary w
Nice river nearby canoeing swimming pool fireplaces and little store for treats.
Country Camping Tent & RV Park on the Rum River
Fun place
The campground is nice and clean. Good size spaces. The tubing is a plus. Had one issue with power dropping so we had to pull the surge protector off the. It was fine. Also very hot and humid so everyone was running AC to the max. Pool was small but nice. Splash pad was even nice for adults I recommend this campground. Key thing is the river is very clean and sandy bottom.
Bunker Hills Regional Park
Love bunker!
I have stayed at Bunker a few times in site 33 and one of the walk in sites. Site 33 is very large and also very wide open. The walk in sites are a lot more secluded but not totally private. Really enjoy camping here, just wish it wasn't so expensive. It costs more than staying at a state park.
Bunker Hills Regional Park
Same day booking
Went early in the season in the afternoon and had no problems getting a good spot with electric hookups. Better for someone with an RV, and more seemingly a weekend spot for the family.
Country Camping Tent & RV Park on the Rum River
Fantastic
I stayed here 3 weeks ago with my wife and 2 young children and it was fantastic great playground and heated pool the spaces were well kept and spaced apart 10-10 would most defiantly go again! A ton for the kids to do!
Lake Maria State Park Campground
Overall good
If you're looking for a beginner backpack spot, with privacy and not too far from the cities, then this will fit your bill. You can either do a short-hike from the parking lot via the road to B5 or a 1 mile easy hike via the trail. The backpacking sites are very spread out, we could barely tell anyone else was at the park with us ever.
B5 was beautiful, already lots of mosquitos for May (and appeared poison oak/ivy). I'm not sure what this park does differently than most other parks, but our privy was LOADED with spiders. I get it, it's the outdoors. But still, I've used many in-ground toilets and never had dozens of spiders covering the toilet seat/front.
Another reason we chose this park was for birding. The park ranger at check-in was not helpful and then said he's never heard of MN State Parks free birding kits to borrow, though it's clearly listed on several spots on their website. Bummer, but we still enjoyed our time.
Afton State Park Campground
Sites with privacy and great trails near!
Good pricing, great trails for all different skill levels and nice staff. Our site was mighty large and for the most part secluded from those near and on the path. $22 for the site, $8 for reservation. $8 for wood (all you can chop) and $7 for the overnight and next day parking pass for one car. Beautiful surroundings and clean bathrooms and grills one mile mostly uphill hike from parking lot but not to difficult and some paved parts. Definitely coming back.
Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park
A very nice park. County Parks are very well managed in Minnesota
We stayed here a week. I have been here before. It's a great campground if you can get in. We came late in the season and got the one spot open for a week. BTW Camping Worlds huge store is just north on 35E. Kelly's Bar nearby has a great fish fry on Friday.
The campground is neat and well managed. Aside from that no issues except being so close to a large city (Urban campgrounds are not for wilderness campers) and county airport (noise) occasionally. Close to the Twin Cities it is. Access to anywhere is easy. The Three rivers campgrounds triangulate the northern suburbs. Baker park, Bunker Hills Park, and Rice Creek are all close to the major parts of town.
Bertram Chain of Lakes Regional Park Campground
Excellent place to bike , camp and shower.
This place had awesome trails and so many deer ! It’s like they were camping with us.
Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park
Great spot right outside the twin cities
Great campground with all the amenities one might need, including showers, nice bathrooms, a park, a beach, trails. Right next to lakes and a nature preserve. Close enough to town in case you forget some things like we did. A county parking pass is required, they don't like people parking on the grass, and they have staff making rounds to enforce the shortest list of rules I've seen in the last couple of years. My only complaint is that the location of the porta-potties didn't match what the maps showed, so my seemingly perfect plan to be somewhat far from them failed and I ended up right next to one; it was clean and didn't smell, but we heard the door close every time. They have the campsites spaced out better than most other places I've camped and have trees and brush between the sites whenever possible. We tent camped and plan to bring our travel trailer next year. Definitely plan to stay here at least once a season.
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.
St. Cloud-Clearwater RV Park
If you have children STAY AWAY
We haven’t met a single person living full time at any site that hasn’t felt like family UNTIL TODAY. This is the face of a little boy who got screamed at by a grown man for riding a bike WE RENTED through a puddle. That’s right he SCREAMED at our five year old and took the bike away because - he’s the owner and he “can talk and act however he wants!” There is so much more to this I’m not even ready to get into but moments before this we got hit with a TERRIBLE storm with nickel to quarter size hail, the hail ended up busting out our roof vent covers and likely will need roof repairs. We came outside to asses damages and instead of the park owner checking on us he belligerently screamed at my children( he seemed drunk to me but that’s just my opinion) This is a screen shot during a recording my husband took for our protection because of how the man was acting. We were only there for a short time and quickly left after this. I didn’t not feel safe and would never stay here!
Old Logging Trail — St. Croix State Park
Great escape from civilization
It’s very very secluded from the near by town
On days that the moonlight is not out bring flashlights because when the moon is not shining it’s pitch black
Keep in mind the driveway trail is not lit up but the showers are very clean and up to date And very clean they are fully stocked in hand soap & toilet paper the have sinks for washing ur utensils and pans and ect
Minneapolis Northwest KOA
Good Campground but Close Sites
Sites are close to each other, but easy access, clean grounds and facilities, friendly staff, and a K9 fenced area for a pet friendly campground.
St. Cloud-Clearwater RV Park
100% Gem
Absolutely beautiful campground with mature trees. Cedars , white oaks, hickory’s and more. The birds are singing and so are the kids because this place has so much to do for them. Pool, pool table, soccer table,mini golf, swing set, clubhouse, 3 wheel bike racing, and water balloons wars. The bathrooms are clean along with the showers. If this place was close to home I’d be here every weekend. Absolute beautiful weather with a nice breeze no mosquitoes not something you get in Florida in July !!
St. Cloud-Clearwater RV Park
Lovely place! Pool/kids playground/lots of shade
This place is wonderful!! Owners & staff are so friendly! Pool is clean, everything is so well marked, lots of shade/grass. LOVE IT, COMING BACK!!
Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park
Hidden gem
We have lived in the Twin Cities for two decades and have never visited Rice Creek Chain of Lakes before. We will again! It's a lovely park, a reasonable biking distance from the Twin Cities (a lot on dedicated bike path). Sites are good sized with mix of sun and shade. Swimming beach is nice as well. Staff were very helpful.
Lake Maria State Park Campground
Pretty fun
I like the primitive sites the best. Nice lake to hike down to as well. I went in August though and the mosquitos were awful.
Lake Auburn Campground
Great for families and bikers
Lots of space between campsites. They aren’t very private though. Great playground and green space for the kids, beach is very nice. Bathrooms are clean.
Lake Maria State Park Campground
Winter Camping!!!
It was November but that's when our anniversary lands and dang it we wanted to go camping so we did. Walk in site# BP6 was a hilly 1/4 mile hike one way but worth the view. We were right on the edge looking out over a small lake with towering trees all around us. Each BP site also has it's own private latrine house slightly apart from your site. Nothing fancy but it was clean and private. There are miles of trails at this park. We didn't get to see any of the endangered Blandings turtles but there were trumpeter swans, this is a huge migratory area for the birds.
Lake Maria State Park Campground
Fun camping with friends
Did a camping weekend with a buddy and had so much fun. We hiked and made yummy campfire grub and hammocked and had a generally relaxing time.
Lake Maria State Park Campground
Nice place!
I like that they have some easy drive in spots as well as some more private hike in spots.
Lake Maria State Park Campground
A little slice of heaven close to the cities
We decided on a whim to camp here for a few days during a long weekend off - we were excited to do a bit of exploring and spend some quality time together, and didn't want to stray too far from home. This campground is perfect! We backpacked in and even took our dog - she loved it!!! Great tenting spots and even better scenery!
Lake Auburn Campground
Accessible, Affordable, Beautiful
They’re closing soon, but I caught this campground in their last 2 weeks open for the season! Feels lucky.
It’s right off the highway, and very easy to find. The camp is very well-maintained, the beach is gorgeous, and the staff was extremely nice over the phone when I set my reservation.

Kozy Oaks Kamp
Family campground
We have camped here twice. Once about 5 years ago,we had a great time. They overbooked so allowed us to stay on the group site. It was huge. Then we stayed again2 years ago. We were put on a corner about the size of our living room. Very small site all open ,another camper rite next to us. A group site across the road with about 5 large campers on it. The kids always have fun ,they have a pool,RC track,mini golf, playground,and community room with board games &such. We would have preferred more privacy.
Three Rivers Park District Baker Campground
Weekend get-away
Met a friend for a relaxing weekend in loop c. Quiet, lots of trees, nice fire rings. Bathrooms were close and well kept. There were lots of other campers there but the sites are large and plentiful so it was not crowded.
Minneapolis Northwest KOA
Nice campground
Nice hosts. Nice sites. Trees and level sites. Bigger than i thought.
