      Crow Wing Lake Campground

      Great Getaway

      Amazing, Family-owned campground, just far enough from “the cities” to get away for the weekend, without spending too much time in the car. Clean bathrooms, nice sized park for kids, pool (not open in Sept), lake with ample docks for fishing or you can rent boats. The “general store” has everything you need from souvenirs to wood, to marshmallows for s’mores, and all at reasonable prices. Each campsite has electrical hookup, picnic table and fire pit. Pets welcome.

      Crow Wing State Park Campground

      Noisy and not enough infrastructure

      We stayed in a tent for 2 nights at non-electric site 34. Maybe it was the weekend crowd, but it was incredibly noisy - both from people and mechanical noises. The quiet hours were not enforced, and there was a mechanical thumping audible around the clock.

      There was only 1 shower/toilet building and 7 water spigots for 48 camp sites - most of which were for tents. Of the 2 women‘s shower stalls, only one worked properly. Fortunately, the facility was very clean.

      On the plus side, the trails were well marked, the roads well maintained, and (our site at least) was visually secluded. The historical significance of the park warrants a day visit, but there are lots of other campgrounds in the area that I would stay at instead.

      Lake Carlos State Park Campground

      You Can’t Beat the Lake Access

      We stayed in the lower campground, site 89. Nice tree canopy above although the sites themselves don’t have much privacy. This isn’t a quiet campground during the day but campers were very respectful of quiet hours at night. Direct access to the lake from the campground with a sandy beach and plenty of lakeshore for everyone. Many campers brought their boats and kayaks. Short drive to Lake Brophy County Park to ride the mountain bike trails or jump on the Central Lakes Bike trail.

      Lake Carlos State Park Campground

      Beautiful but a bit crowded

      I am from a suburb of Twin Cities metro area in Minnesota and we wanted to go camping with my in-laws who have horses. We needed a park that was close and had equestrian camping so we decided to go to Lake Carlos State Park.

      Lake Carlos State Park is roughly 2.5hours from the Twin Cities and is a beautiful getaway for a weekend trip. You can leave after work on a Friday and still have time to make it to the park, set up and still be able to cook dinner and enjoy a s’more or two.

      We booked site H3 in the equestrian campground which was a VERY open site right off the main loop in the equestrian campground. It was very sunny and barely any shade for the horses. The site were in was electric and there were only three non-electric sites in the equestrian campground. The other sites were awesome for shade but were still super open to everyone.

      There were great trails for hiking and horseback riding. They also allowed mountain biking on the trails.

      The staff at the office were super friendly and they talked to us for about 15 minutes. Their store in the office was pretty great and they had everything from toys for the kids to s’mores stuff and stickers specific to the park. The firewood was pretty fast burning and cost 6$ a bundle so it was pretty spendy since we cook only over the fire.

      The main campground was VERY busy and jammed packed. The sites were too close together and open for my comfort.

      The beach was very dirty and there were army worms everywhere crawling on everything.

      We took a little bike ride to the group camp which was an amazing area with a very nice shelter with electric.

      All in all, this is a good park to go to if you are looking for a park close to the twin cities metro area.

      Crow Wing State Park Campground

      Nice smaller State Park

      Crow Wing State Park is a good choice if you are looking for something close to the Twin Cities metro area in Minnesota. with this park being just under two hours away from the Twin Cities metro area it’s an easy choice for a nice weekend getaway. If you’re looking to stay for a long extended time it’s also a good choice as it offers electric and water. The electric sites are pretty open and close together so if you like to be secluded and not see other campers from your campsite I wouldn’t use this park. The electric sites are really on top of each other and don't feel like you are camping to me. The non-electric sites are pretty nice and secluded from each other which would make this park a park I would bring my tent to instead of my travel trailer. There is also a group camp That is separate from the main camping area.

      The park office offers ice and firewood for sale. Firewood is 6$ a bundle at the park office. The only firewood you can use is the approved firewood in the local area or scrap lumber. See the Minnesota Firewood law.  Canoe rentals are offered at the park office for $15 for a half-day and $25 for a full day. There is also a water fill station and a dump station for your travel trailer or RV. This is a good park for hiking and exploring. 

      If you wanna stay close to the Twin Cities metro area this is a good park for you!

      Glendalough State Park Campground

      Well Managed

      Woah love this park! Has so many things to do.

      • Went on the hiking club trail around Annie Battle Lake, most of it is even paved for biking or groomed for skiing.

      • The yurt and watercraft sites are secluded and so awesome with great views, right on the lake, firewood and water back there available specifically for that area... so cool.

      • The cart in sites and camper cabins are in a little old growth forest area right on the lake up in a little hill area. Spaced out quite well, all have views of lake (even though on a hill so for swimming/boating access you gotta go to appropriate spots). What a site for camping!

      • Very clear and calm lakes, sandy, and the little creeks/rivers betwixt them are just begging to be canoed or kayaked.

      • Great swimming areas and picnic tables and fire pits everywhere. Vast views and also pretty wooded areas.

      • Shower and rest rooms very modern by the trail center.

      All in all so cool that they kept it so rustic has a cool history! Big views and wooded views which I love. Various walks, streams and lakes. Campground is the real deal and good for anyone who wants a wilderness experience without actually backpacking! Great for kids, for sure!

      Tipsinah Mounds City Park

      Great place!

      We stayed in V5. Not lakeside but nicely secluded. There is a nice beach and the lake is clear. There is a big playground, basketball court, and ball field. The store has necessities and they will even make you a pizza and deliver to your site. In the afternoon they have a hay ride (without the hay) around the grounds, kids loved it. Shower facilities were clean, and they have a nice set up of handicap accessible showers and bathroom. We'd stay here again.

      Andes RV Park

      Great camping spot!

      ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an incredible stay at Andes RV Park! The facilities are top-notch, with brand-new, spacious bathrooms and showers that were really nice and clean! The park offers a fantastic range of activities, including golf cart rentals, volleyball, horseshoes, disc golf, pickle ball, etc…and in winter, cross-country skiing and tubing—there’s something for everyone! The laundry room, the firewood and the ice delivery service were a convenient touch, and easy as a quick phone call or text. The owners were exceptionally friendly and accommodating, making us feel right at home. Highly recommend this gem for a fun and relaxing RV camping experience!

      Side note: if coming in summer make sure to bring plenty of bug spray!!!

      Lake Carlos State Park Campground

      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.

    Guide to Osakis

    Lake Carlos State Park Campground offers glamping options about 10 miles west of Osakis, Minnesota. The park sits at an elevation of 1,424 feet in an area known for its glacial moraines and kettle lakes. Winter temperatures often drop below freezing from November through March, with summer highs typically ranging from 70-85°F. Most glamping sites at Lake Carlos require reservations up to 120 days in advance.

    What to do

    Winter recreation: Try the cross-country ski trails at Lake Carlos State Park Campground. The park maintains several groomed trails during winter months. "I stayed here with a few friends in the winter when the park was doing their lantern-lit snowshoe trail. They have 1 site (electric) available in the winter," reports Tori K.

    Paddling: Enjoy motor-free lakes at Glendalough State Park Campground, located about 35 miles west of Osakis. "The yurt and watercraft sites are secluded and so awesome with great views, right on the lake, firewood and water back there available specifically for that area... so cool," notes HollyRose M. The park offers canoes, kayaks, and paddleboards for rent.

    Fishing: Access multiple lakes in the region, with several parks offering fishing piers, boat rentals, and lake access. "We noticed that the rangers stopped and talked to me night one, and remembered me - which made me feel very safe as a solo female camper," mentioned Sarah D. about her experience at Crow Wing State Park Campground, where fishing is popular along the Mississippi River.

    What campers like

    Privacy between sites: Many campers appreciate the secluded nature of certain sites. "The campground was overall pretty quiet, and my site was wooded so that I normally could not see other campers from my site, which was great," notes Sarah D. about her experience at Crow Wing State Park Campground.

    Family amenities: Families enjoy the range of activities available. "Lots of sites with and without electricity. Sites are spacious with close access to the lake from any of the lower campground sites. Large beach area for swimming and pylons to tie up boats," writes Jay H. about Lake Carlos State Park Campground.

    Cart-in camping experience: At Glacial Lakes State Park Campground, visitors appreciate the semi-primitive camping experience. "Oak Ridge campground is prettier, quieter, and more private than the Lower campground. Site 28 and 30 don't have tree cover, but have beautiful views of the rolling hills," explains Mike O. These sites offer more seclusion than drive-up options.

    What you should know

    Insect preparation: Bugs can be intense, particularly in early summer. "Site was a bit buggy, but very manageable with bug spray and a Thermacell. The bugs on the hiking trails were unrelenting even with lots of deet bug spray - I was planning to hike 5 miles but had to stop after 2," warns Mike O. about Tipsinah Mounds City Park.

    Site selection matters: Some campgrounds have significant differences between their various sites. "There is a lower portion and upper portion with the lower campground being lakefront. There are primitive and electric sites available," explains Tori K. about Lake Carlos State Park Campground.
