  South of Sand Dunes State Forest

  Nice place. Lots of traffic

  Plenty of spots. Fairly small spots. This road is pretty busy for a dirt forest road and people FLY down it. Almost got hit a few times walking. Even through a Wednesday night cars are flying down the road.

  Bertram Chain of Lakes Regional Park Campground

  A really excellent stop over, although I didn't need a whole hookup!

  I was traveling Eastward through the upper Midwest and had a really hard time in this area finding a place to camp. I finally came across this place. There was some suggestion that there was some drive in sites that were not reservable, that is. They were first come first serve. But I was unaware or unable to find those. I ended up paying a fair amount of money for a full hookup site. The bathrooms were extremely modern and clean.

  There were some really nice wide trails around the lake. I think those were basically designed for cross-country skiing in the winter. But they made a perfect opportunity for me to let the dog run off. Leash. Probably was not within the rules, but it was very quiet there and the dog didn't bother anybody with her running.

  Masonic West River Campground

  Large riverfront sites

  Amazing campsite! Sites are large and grassy! We had a lakeview site right off the paved walking/biking trail with room for a large tent and the pop-up camper. Fire ring and picnic table provided. A man drives through the campsite close to dusk to sell firewood as there is no traditional office. Bathrooms and showers are located near the dump station and dumpster. Be on the lookout for the code for the doors during your reservation process. We had missed it and had to ask a neighbor if they knew the codes so we could shower.

  Isanti County Fairgrounds

  Fun at the fairgrounds.

  Very nice clean well kept grounds. Always things going at the fairgrounds,we missed the flea market by 1 day. Great places to eat in the area. We were visiting family nearby and they could come visit us for picnics with no problems and no extra cost. Very friendly grounds keepers. Will be back again when in the area. We had a nice view of the little lake.

  Minneapolis Southwest KOA

  Older koa

  We stayed at this koa because it was our only way to watch softball tournament. We stayed 5 days and it was fairly nice. People that were working were very helpful and nice. Lost power a couple hours twice because of branches falling g from trees.

  William O'Brien State Park

  OK but not great

  The east part of the park was all closed for construction. Everything on the east side of the highway was closed so we could not hike a lot of the trails or use the beach which was a challenge with kids. Constructing is scheduled to the end of 2025.

  We stayed in a group site but there was no way 35 people could have camped in W3. Vaulted toilets need help and a good cleaning.

  The shower house needed a cleaning as well. There is no adjusting the shower temperature. Push the button and you get what you get.

  Wood was $8 bundle. This was steep in my opinion. They do not all any gathering of firewood.

  If your vehicle permit is not properly displayed, you will receive a notice on your windshield and have to talk with the office.

  The dumpster was overflowing the whole time we were there.

  Raccoons will visit your site at night. We had everything secured but they still tried and plenty of racket until we chased them away.

  Lastly we had a battle with mosquitoes. We went through a lot of bug spray and coils. Deer flies were thick around the water filling station.

  Although we did not stay in the main campground the sites are very close in there and were small.

  Absolutely love it

  I love that it's so close to home. I was able to walk in and find an incredible spot to camp and lay in my hammock.

  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.

  Lake Elmo County Park Preserve

  Great camping

  This was a great experience overall. The sites are spacious and far enough away from others to feel like there was enough privacy.

  The one negative thing was that some neighbors watched a movie each night — starting just after quiet hours. We could hear their movie from across a road and through some trees (and tents).

  But overall it was great. Good hiking and geocaching.

  We would go back to this campground.

  Town & Country Campground & RV Park

  If you want to be close to the city this does it

  We’re in town to catch a twins game and see the mall of America and this was a campground not too far from both. It’s an easy on and off the interstate, super close to a gas station and RV wash bay. Also super close to some very large power lines. The kids enjoyed the compact playground and pool. The site were in is w&e only but they have a dump station. It appears to be sold out for the weekend so book ahead. Lots of MN license plates and a few of us from out of state too.

  South of Sand Dunes State Forest

  Good forest road, nothing special

  For the proximity to the city and nearby highways, this was a good spot. Didn’t expect to see as many campers as I did, but all seemed to be friendly. I stayed here for one night and roads were totally fine for any vehicle. Most spots are like the pictures shown. There are a few spots that have great views or pull-through areas, and there are limited spots that are big-rig friendly. Saw lots of dogs, and mine had a blast, even had what seemed to be a stray husky quickly roll through camp around dusk. Something to keep on your mind. The road goes for a long ways, I parked near the front and closer to numbers, always like to be safer. Overall there was some shouting and yelling but for the location I was happy.

  Very Quiet

  There’s lots of little spots off the main gravel road. Nothing allowed further into the forest. One pull through area that I found. Couple vehicles pass a day. Stand storks are very protective. Stay away from them. They attack. 🤣

  Baker Park Reserve

  Favorite spot

  This is just the best campground that is close to Minneapolis! Peaceful, quiet, with spacious sites that are situated in a staggered way, so you never feel like you’re on top of each other. The lake was a bit reedy and silty but overall a fantastic and easy option.

  Minneapolis Southwest KOA

  Unlevel sites, broken dump station

  About the only nice thing about this place is the lady who answered the phone, Valerie.

  She was extremely nice other than that it was gravel. Roads that were poorly maintained trucks were parked sticking out into the road making it difficult to get around. The site was very unlevel and the water Spicket didn’t really work very well.. we paid for two nights and bought a KOA review or rewards program to do it… We refused to stay the second night when we called to see if we could get our money back the gentleman who checked us in as a ground tender was rude and choppy he wasn’t very friendly when he brought us into the place.

  The place was packed like sardines… Very difficult to negotiate at night.

  Overall, the worst campground we’ve stayed in in the two RV trips we’ve taken from Florida to Minnesota. There are so many beautiful state parks don’t bother with this KOA not even for a one nighter.

  We were stuck on a back loop. There were a lot of mosquitoes bugs and mud… It just wasn’t a nice experience.

  Quiet with lots of different bird sounds

  this is a nice quiet area. Some younger people coming through sporadically playing with their trucks but nothing serious and not often. Be aware if you have an rv though. I had a county sheriff person tell me it's not lawful to park a trailer and they kicked me out. I called the dnr and they said that wasn't right but I decided to leave anyway. County sheriff's not pleasent around here.

  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.

  Overnight Stay

  Very quiet campground, with large peaceful, rustic sites. We stopped for one night while traveling through Minneapolis area. Found several open sites on Saturday, first weekend in June. The road into the campground was a bit bumpy, take it slow it was only about 0.75 miles.

  Very close

  Very close to other campers, but no one bothered anyone. Dog didn’t go nuts, got a good spot. Would recommend. Tent camping on the way to Alaska and filled all needs. Has a Porta-shitter and trash. Decent spot, windy.

  High Island Creek Park

  Great park!

  As previously stated, you need to follow up with the sheriif. They just want to know the duration of stay, people in the group, and vehicle information. I'm winter camping during the warm spell here in MN, and it's pretty quiet. The area is muddy with the thaw, but that's to be expected. There's quite a number of spots that all have fire rings. A large 5th wheel might have a struggle with some of the spots depending on availability, but anything else should be fine.

  Came back for round two

  Came back on a warm weekend. A bit more traffic, but after 12 p.m., not much of anything. I really recommend this for an easy stop if you're looking for a place to put up. It's peaceful and tons of spots to park.

  Baker Park Reserve

  Open Spacious RV Campsites

  Baker is our favorite campground when visiting family in the Twin Cities.  The grounds are absoutely gorgeous, with huge hardwoods that provide lots of shaded sites.  RV pads are gravel.  Shower facilities are very nice.  We enjoy walking the grounds down to the lake.

  Lake Independence has occasional bouts of bacteria that can result in beach closings.  So if swimming is an important part of your camping getaway, be sure to check whether the beach is open.  

  I can also say the site D03 is densely shaded, which is great for spreading out on hot summer days, but there is little grass near the pad which can result in muddy conditions after a deluge.
