    Marina Drive Campground

    Peaceful Campground

    The campground (CG) was easy to find, and the regular street address brought us right into the CG. One of our friends had arrived a few days early and let us know that the CG manager was off, so there was no need to stop first at the office at the opposite end of the CG from our site. The sites are set up in a series of cul-de-sacs, but not the traditional cul-de-sac. We had to back in from off the main CG road and then turn slightly to get into back-in site 47 with FHUs. The water and electric were more centered on this very long site, but the sewer was at the back, where we needed around 20’ of sewer hose. The water pressure was around 40 psi. There are a lot of mature trees in this CG, and we actually had to cut down a small tree(with permission) so it wouldn't scratch our rig coming back out. We backed up to a field, so we were able to get a clear shot for Starlink. Our friends had satellite dishes, and they had to move their dishes around mature trees to get a signal. The CG has 25 cable channels that worked well. The CG manager did stop by to see how we were doing and answer any questions we might have, and he let us know where the lawnmower was stored if we wanted to cut the grass around our site during our three-week stay. Our party of four rigs pretty much had the CG to ourselves during our stay. There were six seasonals, but they were mostly only there on the weekends. There were a few campers that came in for a couple of days during our stay. People come to this area for one thing, and that is to fish with a side trip through Canada to Angle Inlet, MN, the farthest point north in the lower 48. The CG has no playground but does have a nice fish-cleaning station. There is a shower and restroom in the little office building. There are two laundry facilities nearby. Baudette has a nice grocery and hardware store. There’s no formal dog park, but we were told the large field adjacent to the park is off-leash, which we took advantage of. We got two bars on Verizon. The CG has WiFi, but we were too far from the antenna to connect. One rig in our party got a signal, but they said it was weak. This CG is about a mile from the Rainy River, so there is no direct water access. Check out Cypress Resort for fishing charters and great food. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this CG.

    Legion Park

    Very nice city owned RV park

    Legion Park is a city operated RV park in Greenbush, Minnesota. Very nice grounds with grass sites and many large oaks trees around each site. There only ten sites with water and 30 amp power. Sites are $15.00 per night. No sewer hook up but there is a free dump station on site.The grounds are well maintained. Minnesota Highway #11 runs right alongside the park so there is road noise durning the day but decreases when night falls. There is a very nice 9 hole golf course, a nine iron away from the RV slots. $12.00 to play nine holes. The RV park is first come, first served with no reservations. I recommend this campground for either an overnight or extended stay. We camped for 4 days in July.

    Hayes Lake State Park Campground

    You can easily get lost out here!

    The drive in upper Minnesota is always amazing and to get here you have to climb to the northern parts of Minnesota but it is totally worth it.

    The campground is pretty well maintained considering it is a state park and minnesota has thousands. The roads are not all paved but the ones that’s aren’t are in good condition.

    Loop A is non electric and has some campers with solar panels and generators. Loop b has electric. The campsites are adequate but nothing amazing and the pine forest allows you to see your neighbors. The flies and mosquitos are pretty numerous so you have to be ware.

    The campground has a decent boat dock and canoes can be rented. The picnic and beach are are huge and very perfect for a hot summers day.

    The real secret of this campground are the walk-in sites and cabin B. Super secluded with views of the lake! When I come back I’ll be in the walk in sites for sure!

    Warroad City Campground

    Small town, northern Minnesota Lake of the Woods experience

    The campground is located on city of Warroad property near the Warroad River and Lake of the Woods. An outdoor city pool with a natural sand bottom is adjacent to the campground for an unique swimming experience or enjoy the sand beach playground by the river/lake. Majority of campground is occupied by campers, many that are parked for the season. There are 3 areas of the campground 1: partial sun and partial trees 2: full sun all grass 3: full tree coverage. You'll find bath houses, electric and water hookups, fish cleaning houses. Public boat landing. Picnic towers overlook the campground, river, and lake. Warroad is a small town and attracts the serious to avid sportsmen to northern Minnesota for good fishing and that "Up North" experience. Nearby bars, grocery store, drug store, coffee, restaurants, and gas stations all located within Warroad city limits. The Seven Clans Casino (no alcohol served or allowed at casino) is directly across the river, however, easily accessible by car within minutes.

    Lake Bronson State Park Campground

    Bustling, well maintained state park

    Camped at Lake Bronson the first weekend of June at site 47 beside the lake.  Our site had nice shade (beware - quite a few lake side sites are full sun), a necessity on the unusually warm June weekend. All amenities were very well maintained and close to our campsite. Unsure of how close sites were at the Two Rivers campground but Lake side were very close and multiple people were up until late into the evening. Not an issue for us, but if you're looking to get away in a more secluded location this would not be for you.

    With temps in the mid 90s we enjoyed plenty of time in the lake, hiked to the top of the WPA observation tower, listened to trumpeter swans & watched the sun set over the lake .

    One thing of note - our campsite was CRAWLING with ticks. Upon waking we had over a dozen hanging onto the outside of our tent, and picked more than we could count off of ourselves during our 24 hour stay. Unsure if it was a banner year for the buggers or if the location of the camping sites in grass next to a tree line was a perfect breeding ground but it was truly remarkable.

    Lake Bronson State Park Campground

    Oasis in the farm fields

    Very nice campground. Stayed on the lake side of the park. Very many campsites. Stayed in site 8, which had an electric option. Was tucked in the corner so the wind out of the west wasn’t much of an issue. The beach was nearby as was the boat rentals. The bathrooms and showers were clean and maintained daily. The bathroom and shower house at the beach was exceptionally well maintained.

    Zippel Bay State Park Campground

    Rustic, yet beautiful Minnesota State Park

    Compared to other Minnesota State Parks, Zippel Bay is a bit more rustic. There are no electrical hookups, and showers are a significant drive from campground. The bathrooms are outhouse style with no running water. The campsites were not quite as secluded as we typically like, but it was quiet, and the views along the lake-shore are well worth the trip.

    Marina Drive Campground

    Bare Bones

    This little campground is here as overflow for the nearby resort. It is located near the water, oak harbor golf course and the little town of Baudette. Its right off of highway 72 so it is very convenient.

    Its also close enough to several waterways from Wheelers Point and Baudette border waterway Rainey river. It’s basic and it serves the purpose. Mostly for RVs but if you needed to tent you could. They are gravel pads so better to sleep in the car. They do have electricity.

    Zippel Bay State Park Campground

    Lots of variety and a boating destination

    This state park is really nicely located for those that wanna get away to the north. Northern Minnesota has a lot to offer for wildlife and fishing. Zipper bay is pretty easy to get too and has a lot do from hikes, canoeing, kayaking, boating and fishing. You can easily get to garden island by boat for a wilderness adventure or you can just stay in the campground. Bugs are too bad till July so it is good to come sooner. Loads of birds to see.

    Campgrounds are simple the one closest to the boat dock was pretty full when we checked it out. Very closely packed and generators can be hear almost everywhere. Best to get a site near the back and have it back into the forest as they are a bit bigger. Put toilets are found centrally with water pump and trash bins.
