I've recently gotten into camping. I love it, and love KOAs, I've camped at a few and they're great. My grandson enjoyed the waterslide.
ScoutWe stayed over Labor Day weekend on our family’s First RV trip. Nice location and facilities with good amenities. A bit expensive. Quite noisy for our site. The firewood was not very easy to catch fire though.
TravelerThis campground is a child's paradise. We were here with our 5 year old granddaughter. There were activities for her to do all day long. She loved the playground, pool, ice cream, wagon ride and crafts. She made many friends at the playground and pool. There were numerous friend and family groups camping in the same area. I gave this a 4 star because even though it was great for families I felt we were packed together in a tight area. Vehicles didn't fit well in the sites with the campers and/or tents. We had 2 vehicles and we did make it work.

It’s very very secluded from the near by town
On days that the moonlight is not out bring flashlights because when the moon is not shining it’s pitch black
Keep in mind the driveway trail is not lit up but the showers are very clean and up to date And very clean they are fully stocked in hand soap & toilet paper the have sinks for washing ur utensils and pans and ect

We spent a long weekend here. The sites seemed to vary a lot. We had picked a specific site but when we got there were told that we were in another spot. It was difficult to see where we should actually park on the site. The water hookup was so far away that I needed to buy another hose to reach it. The bathrooms weren't kept up well but were ok. Banning State Park is really close and is very nice. We also drove up to Duluth on two of the days.
ScoutAwesome spot for kids! Lots for them to do. Sites are kinda close but landscape is great! I’ll be going back!!
Scout
Was looking forward to camping there and renting a four seater but unfortunately they decide to go seasonal. Truly truly sad. 
LegendOffice staff and store were clean when we came through in the summer months. It is a mixed bag of tricks here as the sites can be level and some others are not at all. All and all it is a great place. Nice people and super helpful. Great alternative if the state park is full.
Legend
Been here a few times throughout the year and it’s typically less crowded. Little bit off the beaten path but a good campground none the less.
GuideOur site was a fairly level pull through, full hook up site. The office had a camp store inside of it. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The bathrooms were very clean. The fenced in dog park was a big bonus for our pup. The grounds hosted outdoor games and volleyball/basketball courts. Would stay again.
ScoutWe enjoyed having all the amenities on-site. The staff were friendly and professional, the concession restaurant was good and affordable.

We have camped here twice. Once about 5 years ago,we had a great time. They overbooked so allowed us to stay on the group site. It was huge. Then we stayed again2 years ago. We were put on a corner about the size of our living room. Very small site all open ,another camper rite next to us. A group site across the road with about 5 large campers on it. The kids always have fun ,they have a pool,RC track,mini golf, playground,and community room with board games &such. We would have preferred more privacy.
ScoutIf you looking for a great ATV campground or looking for a campground under $1500, this is hte place to go! Lots to do near by Legion 1.3 miles away and a great cafe as well across the street. Ice is in expensive and so is firewood, basic camping, small playground and a basketball court going in. Owner is friendly and helpfu! Looking forward to 2022!
ScoutGot exactly what we were looking for, a quiet wooded site.
ScoutGreat campsites right on the water with a good amount of space. Also some are some what private. There is a playground and volleyball area. Flush toilets showers and wood sold on site... everything you need. Swimming boating and fishing are all available too.
ScoutRude , drinking , disrespect, not child ( ren) friend , non seasonal camper your done for it you make one wrong move
ScoutNot children friendly . Seasonal campers extremely rude . Owner seems to drink alot at check in and comes to talk to you drunk in the campground .
Story ....8 campground & our children playing in the sand at the new volleyball court ( ages 5-11) children being children were running under the net pulling on it . " yes our child " found out a Adult female that was a seasonal Camper was screaming at my 5 year old granddaughter and the adult stuck her tongue out at her. All the children were in our eye view the whole time. When my granddaughter started to not listen and kept pulling on the net we asked her to come up to the campground. As we were singing Happy Birthday and eating birthday cake the owner of the campground came in drunk and forcefully and said that only our children ruin the net which is false and we try to explain that. He would not listen to a word we told him because these are seasonal children and seasonal people talking to him. After my daughter got upset and told them off he told us to pack up our blank and leave his campground. So at 8:30 p.m. we we packed up 4 campers children and a newborn and we started our 2 hour and 45 minute ride home. We also did not get a refund for the night that we did not stay and the net was fine all he needed to do was pull the strings and the net would be tight again. As we were pack the owner and all the seasonal camper watched or were hiding behind campers watching us .
Be care if you dont hsve a seasonal site ..no respect from anyone .
LegendThis park has a ton of camping available, particularly if you don't need electricity and have a smaller rig because then you can get into more of the campground loops. (There is electricity here, but there are many more sites without.)
The sites in the Old Logging Campground were close together but many had vegetation between them offering some privacy. Site 207 was especially tucked in but it's a tight spot, so probably best for a van or tent.
The park itself has a lot to offer being right on the St. Croix River, plus there are hiking trails, a paved bike path, a fire tower you can climb, an old CCC camp area you can tour, and more. Also, canoe and kayak rentals are available. And this is all within the state park boundary since, at 34,000 acres, the park is the largest in the Minnesota state park system.
Some of the loops have old bathhouses that desperately need to be replaced, but they are in the process of doing so, which means some loops have great new bathrooms and showers. (If you stay in the upper 200s, sites, you'll have one of these new bathrooms right away, but more are being built.) Cell service was incredibly spotty on Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile. Depending on where you're at, you'll get a low signal, but often it was only enough for texting-- don't think about using the web or social media or getting any work done while you're here.
Overall, we enjoyed our weekend at this park and would come back for another getaway if we had the chance and it wasn't a workday.
Scoutgreat place water sewer electric sites. very quiet campground
ScoutKind of off the beaten path. You have to take the Willow River exit and go through the town a little bit. There's a small sign next to the Squirrel Cage restaurant and bar. You'll be next to the freeway and you'll hear the noise but it's not that bad. Usually hardly anyone is here. They have picnic tables, pit toilets and water.
GuideThis was my first solo tent camping night in June 5, 2020. There were some horse flies when I parked but they didn't seem to hang out in the shade of my campsite. There was a very loud bird making calls until about 1am... Maybe a whip-poor-will. Otherwise a serene spot tucked back in the walk in site.
Directions to the walk in sites were a bit unclear when driving in but I eventually made it there.
ScoutAwesome place to just relax and kick your feet up for a get away!
GuideOur stay was okay. Office and store was clean and well cared for. Check in was smooth and we were shown to our sites. We were spending the weekend with friends and the campground was very accommodating.
Campground was very dark in the area of campsites which made setting up a bit difficult. Our sites were grass that was a little long and rutted from what seemed from previous tenants. This made getting leveling a little difficult and out fold out stairs touched the ground before fully being deployed. After leveling in the dark we began searching for our full hookups. Found the sewer in the tall grass and electric , but the water supply was no where to be seen. Gave the office a call and they were prompt to respond.
We were quick to learn that water hookups were shared with other sites and required “y” connections at the spigots. Our host(s) were prepared with the connectors in hand but seemed a bit surprised that we might need them and we were a bit confused that they didn’t mention this to us when reached out sites.
Then we all collectively began searching for our water source. Ours source ended up being 75’ plus from our RV. Thankfully I just happened to be carrying the extra hose for several years but never had to use it before. It was a little uncomfortable to turn off someone’s water supply, unhook their hose and place the “y” adaptor in line so both of out rigs could be hooked up to the water spigot. Because of the distance our hoses were run over by four wheels and side by sides. The campground host also seemed to be a bit uncomfortable too and really didn’t want to be the ones to do it.
After we were setup our stay was good.
Great proximity to Banning State Park. Enjoyed a great day of hiking around this state park and enjoying the water and ruins of old buildings.
We would stay here again for a quick get away from the Twin Cites but would want to arrive before it gets dark a d bring a lot of hose.
TravelerLove all this campsite has to offer with amenities! Beautiful area as well. But there are alot of trees that make it very challenging for larger rigs. There are a handful of sites that would be easy to access, I recommend calling first. We have a 43ft 5th wheel.
GuideGreat campground to stay with family! Campground was kept very clean, even though it is an older campground. Only complaint would be that sites are close together!
ScoutThe site we had was isolated nicely and the ground was easy for a tent set up. There was some mosquitos, but the disappeared at night which was nice. The trail near by was nice, but driving into the park and finding a trail were better. The fire tower was also cool!
TravelerWe decided to come back for a 2nd visit and our 1st visit was great but this time was even better! We love this campground, our spot was spacious and had plenty of room to enjoy, people are great and very nice here, staff helpful as always, very relaxed place! Can’t say enough about the awesome pet park, also has nice walking trails, stores nearby, honestly just a great place to camp!
