First time
We stayed at Baker as a family for our first camping trip, and it was great. Fire pit with swivel grate for cooking, bathrooms, and plenty to explore.
Mindy B.GuideApple River County Park Campground
Peaceful, hidden gem for simple campers, wonderful water
There are surprisingly few campgrounds in this area with overnight camping - most are just giant trailer parks for people who stay the entire season. We were pleased to find this "real" campground close enough for segment hikes on the Ice Age Trail, 12 miles away at the closest. Some sites do have electricity, but pit toilets, no showers. I took advantage of the Apple River instead - it's just a short walk away, wonderful for wading, has some deeper pools for a cool dip. The water from the hand pump is cold and delicious. We noticed several cars, probably local, stop and fill jugs to take home.

Basic KOA
Nice quiet campground. It's a very basic KOA. Not a whole lot of amenities. Large playground is quite good for children. Our site is right across from the campground.
Campsite is in the middle of nature. Lots of trees cover. Not much of a breeze but well protected.
Water is clean, electrical boxes are in good condition.
Gail G.GuideRiver Terrace Park
love the river views and shade
Needs alot of updates, old facility with no amenities. Shower water, barely warm, sign on mens bathroom says, bring your own toilet paper. For most part the park is quiet, shady, but again could use some improvements. There are 3 long pull-thru sites for overnight stops

Nice, private stay!!
We stayed for a weekend in the East Loop and had such a nice time! They have many trails to a pretty well-kept bathroom and the sites themselves are private nooks in the trees. They had firewood available that we took advantage of, and we overall had a great time!

Great campsites. Have camped here 8 times this summer in 7 different sites and have loved every one of them. Bathrooms are good, showers are good, just very well kept.

A sleepless night
I picked this site for the proximity to the golf course that I’m playing in the morning. A lot of people, a lot of noise being next to the highway but, I can’t sleep in my own house let alone being outside. When I came in and set up at the RV spot instead of the tent. Kurt was kind enough to help me relocate to the correct location. Kudos!

What to do
Tubing and canoeing on the Rum River: Country Camping Tent & RV Park on the Rum River offers river activities with equipment rentals. "The tubing is a plus. Had one issue with power dropping so we had to pull the surge protector off. It was fine. Also very hot and humid so everyone was running AC to the max. Key thing is the river is very clean and sandy bottom," notes camper David G.
Mini golf and swimming: Wildwood RV Park & Campground features recreational amenities on-site. "The pool and playground were clean and nice. Our site had its own picnic table and firepit. The kids tried the bike trail that they could access right from the campground," reports Amy F.
Exploring wildlife areas: Baker Park Reserve provides access to natural habitats. "There are nice paved trails around a couple of lakes/ponds for biking, and easy access to the shower and bathroom facilities (which were very nice)," mentions ERolf P.
What campers like
Spacious campsites: Country Camping RV Park receives praise for its layout. "We've stayed at Country Camping for years! Great variety of things to do for everyone. Group sites, tent sites, covered wagon sites! Floating on the Rum River, swimming pool with splash pad, little camp store, Golf cart rentals! Our grandkids love it too!" shares Carol H.
Clean facilities: Dakotah Meadows RV Park maintains well-groomed grounds. "Dakotah Meadows is one of the nicer parks in the Twin Cities area. Grounds are mostly well groomed and the roads are maintained. There is some pride reflected in the ownership," writes Tom D.
Shuttle services: Some campgrounds offer convenient transportation. "The Casino operates a round trip Shuttle that picks you up and drops you at your site," explains James and Susan K. about Dakotah Meadows RV Park.
What you should know
Reservations essential: Most RV sites near Shoreview book quickly during peak season. "We lucked out and were able to stay 2 nights without reservations...only had to move because they were fully booked for the 4th," explains Beth B. about her Dakotah Meadows experience.
Site privacy varies: Baker Campground - Baker Park Reserve offers spacious but open sites. "The sites are good sized, and the bathroom/showers are great. The sites are about as private as the typical state park, so not very, but that is offset by all the other positives this campground has to offer," notes Bryan S.
Noise considerations: Traffic from nearby roads affects some campgrounds. "We would be willing to try the campground again, but would probably choose a site further from one of the main roads into Mystic Lake Casino. We heard a lot of traffic coming and going well into the wee hours of the night," explains Michelle A.
