One of the other reviews said it's not really a destination, but if you're gonna stay there, it's nice completely agree with that. There's a lot of bike trails. Town is right there. There's very few restaurants, but there are some. And everybody seemed friendly. I don't use the facilities because I'm in my camper. But while they were warm, not sure, I would have felt comfortable showering in them. But there's water at the sight trash at the sight electricity right there. It was fine.

I'm primarily a hiker, and there were just very few hiking trails. I have a feeling. It's gorgeous in the fall with the turning of the colors, but the weather was poor cold, very windy. You couldn't do the hike on the beach, even because the waves were too high. So in rough weather, once you've done the hiking trails which took about 2 hours. You were kind of done there was nothing else to do. Even boating would have been questionable and probably not any fun at all. Last, I don't see anybody say it, but the signage was really poor coming into the park. You couldn't really tell which way to turn to get to your campsite. And as evidenced by everybody who drove past me trying to find their camp spot even though I was the only one in that campground I have a feeling others struggled as well. I might come back in the fall. I drove through town before I left. And there were a lot of ice fishing Jacksontown, so my guesses it's more of a winter spot. Or a boating spot than anything else. And last we did see a bear, it's remote. There were probably all of ten people camping there, So not surprising to see wildlife, but the just about walked up on the bear.

I think this place is wonderfully scenic and the lake is so pretty. I like it is limited boating and really made for the kayak sort of paddling. The water is very high this year and the mosquitoes are out in force. Also, there is zero cell service and if you are right parked at the office, you could get on their free wifi which is likely what I will have to do for work. I put my starlink on the roof of the van but the service is horrible and even though I changed to most exposed spot, it isn't enough. The office staff was very nice but I will likely need to unplug and commute out to work.

The campground is really nice. It's full of regular repeat campers every week. Not really a place, I would come and stop for a night or two. There's a tiny lake and it's very pretty, but it's not really. A place designed for travelers or overnighters, you could do it. There was a price on the wall, but I think most of the people here are people that are here every weekend.

The campground is tiny but there are showers, bathrooms and water readily available and I think it is a lightly used park. Good trails, nice exhibits and a surprising amount of wildlife. The river was very high and overall very wet summer so far but green.
LegendCamped at site #31 in the Ridge Campground on Oct 16, 2023. Nice primitive campground in the state park. Wooded and open sites. Beautiful Fall color on birch trees. Spacing between sites is pretty good with limited privacy. Back-in dirt/gravel sites. Trash service. Clean vault toilet. Hand pump for water. Metal fire ring, table and lantern pole. The state park is beautiful with hiking trails & walks along Lake of the Woods. There is no direct access to hiking and the lake from this campground. Enjoyed camping here; would stay here again.

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.
LegendThis park and campground are both pretty small but still a great stay! I was here early in the season...a lot of the trails had flooding. The hiking club trail was particularly bad as a good portion was at least ankle deep. My dog had to be carried so I wasn't able to get pictures of that 🤣
GuideVault toilets were not clean and low on TP. Sites were not well maintained Ed- garbage in fire ring. Lots of mosquitoes.
GuideNice grassy site with some shade. Bathrooms were clean but dated. Reasonable rates. Has a lot full time and seasonal.
GuideThis is a gorgeous park with lots of birds and wildlife. The lake is beautiful and the campsites are all shady and well maintained. The sites vary a lot in size, but most are level and relatively private. There's a shower house and pit toilets that are very nice. The boat launch and beach are awesome.
However. Have you seen the movie 300? Or any other movie where a small force faces an unthinkably massive foe? Well, that's you and the mosquitoes here, and I regret to inform you that you are the Spartans. You are vastly outnumbered and though you may fight bravely, you will not win this battle. Seriously, there were so many mosquitoes that people were walking around in June in full sweatsuits with netted hats. We were here two nights and went through two entire bottles of bug spray. These things laugh at citronella candles and want you and your whole family dead and drained of blood. If you can hold them off, this park is well worth it. But don't come here thinking you'll just be an efficient swatter and get by.

We loved this state park! We had 6 sites at the Birch Campground for an annual family camp outing. All of our sites were flat, private and large. Easy to fit a couple tents, a screen tent and a boat on. Hardly anyone besides us in this campground in the 5 days we spent here.
The beach is absolutely beautiful! White fine sand, shallow water and lots of shoreline to have privacy if you want. The fishing pier was taken out by ice a couple years ago and needs replacing which was a bummer. It was also way too windy on the big lake for our fishing boat, but the wind did not effect the campgrounds at all.
Know before you go: there are no toilets or sinks in the whole park. Only vault toilets and showers are only located at front of park. You will need a vehicle to get around. The marina, beach and front office are miles away from each other. No electric and water hookups for Campers.
GuideStayed here for a night during the week and the sites a little further from the main bathroom are VERY private. Stayed in site 9 which had one good set of trees for hanging a hammock. There was a picnic table and fire ring and I couldn’t see any other sites. Took a quick walk along the lake and it was gorgeous. Will definitely bring my kayak next time. It’d you’re looking for a private site, close to a vault toilet with a lot of trees 7 looked like a good one. Flush toilets and showers available, vault toilets as well for the sites further from the main bathroom. Drinking water available. Weak cell service. Overall a lovely park.
GuideNice little campground with a shower and toilet very clean quick walk to a great lake to swim and enjoy not crowded nice people.

This is a well kept campground in a beautiful town park in Newfolden. It would be a good option for a stop if travelling through the area, or wanting a smaller quieter option than the busy campground at nearby Lake Bronson. Much of the park facilities have been renovated in recent years, providing a beautiful picnic shelter, gardens and play areas. Bathrooms are provided. It would be a great place for a family reunion or other group gathering for folks from the area.
Note: no fires are allowed currently, especially with the drought and fire danger throughout the region.
TravelerSites were well spaced, quiet, newer vault toilets. Ticks were bad as well as flys and bees, be prepared
GuideThe beach is lovely with a magnificent lake view. There's a light house at one end along with some large rocks that are apart of the Canadian shield.
GuideA very beautiful park for a day trip or weekend camping. The trails aren't exhastingly long but are very dynamic and have an abundance of wildlife. The historic area is well kept and very cool so check it out!!
GuideThis park is a quiet oasis in northern MN. The campground was clean and pretty empty. Heard wolves!!!
GuideThe walk-in sites here are so good I almost don't want to spill the secret. There's just two sites, far from the main campsite and everything else, and spaced decently far apart from each other. They're nestled in quiet pine groves on a ridge overlooking the lake. The lake is electric motors only, so it's peaceful all the time. The sites are spacious and flat, and there are excellent hammock possibilities.
A few things to know: it's a bit of a walk from the parking spaces, at least a quarter mile, but there was a single cart provided when we were there. There are no bear boxes, so you're on your own for protecting your food from critters. And while the sites are on the lake, there's not great water access. The lakeshore is down a slightly treacherous slope from the sites, and the reeds and sediment along shore would make it a nuisance to gather drinking water. You're probably better off filling up at the main campground and carting your water in. I doubt it would be great swimming from shore either, though I'm sure you could make it work if you were determined.
RangerCampsites secluded bathrooms were closed when we visited so only vault toilets were open. Mosquitos in this whole are were thick definitely plan on bringing A LOT of bug spray if going in the summer.

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.
LegendThis 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.

The campground itself is the biggest of all of them in Zippel bay state park. It is also the closest to the marina and this is probably why it was full midweek. Couple families were occupying a couple of sites so it was a bit noisy but I don’t blame the campground for that. There was no host to talk to about it but the eventually went to bed after having a good time.
The sites are simple...fire ring, table, sleeping area. You are in a tall pine forest so the trees above you will creek and sway all night on a windy night, which it was the second night I stayed.
The marina/boat ramp was really nice and updated. Bathrooms, interpretive placards, fish cleaning area, and slips for boaters to leave boats if they wished to do so. Everyone was pretty cordial at the boat ramp and there was most certainly a traffic jam created by the one person who wasn’t experienced at putting a boat in, but people will super nice about it and helped out. As the day wore on not so busy.
RangerNice little campgrounds. Our favorite part was checking out the Old Mill & settler’s cabin. Unfortunately, the bridge & swimming pond were closed. Electric & water hook ups on the inner loop. LOTS of mosquitos when we visited - bring bug spray & extra bug spray! Great little self serve firewood spot in the campsite. Kept clean. Trails were neat, but we spent minimal time on them due to the bugs. Playground is a swing set.
LegendThis campground is in the middle of the park. About a 10 min drive from the entrance. Nice level sites and they offer some privacy from your neighbors. Bugs were more noticeable here for some reason, but the birds never stopped singing so that was nice to hear.
Pretty simple set up with some toilets in the middle with pathways all around them. Most sites have the forest at their back and they vary in size from just a tent to being able to fit a larger Fifth wheel. All in all this was a nice place and very peaceful.
Showers are found at the entrance to the park.
LegendThis 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.
