Best RV Parks & Resorts near Staples, MN

Very nice RV resort with clean campground, clean bathrooms & showers. Full hookups, good resort wifi and good Verizon.

This is a lovely little RV park, but all the sites are close together and it doesn't appear that it's for tent campers at all. It looks like you can rent RV spaces for the season or by the night ($40/night). But they are only open May 1 to the end of September.

If you are an RV camper, they do have sewage hook up (not sure about a dump station), water and electric hookups. It's very close to town where you can get anything you need. There are gas stations, little town shopping, Walmart, etc. Just off of Highway 34, it is very easy to find.

When I visited, the entrance was blocked and office closed. This is in the vicinity of Walker Bay, which is a primo location on Leech Lake, but it is not on the lake itself but set in a mature forest nearby. From the looks if it, it appears to have seasonal rentals that allow overwintering in the off season, the campground currently has a minimal Facebook page but no active website that I could find. I think this is more of a long term private RV and trailer park and may not have facilities for daily or weekly camper stays. It appears to be a decent campground, but I didnt see additional amenities aside from campsites and hookups, and it isnt actually on the lake, so I only gave it 4 stars. Probably best to call for info if you think you might be interested in camping here.

Full hook up. Kids loved pool. The staff are awesome. The playground is cool and they have paddle boats. Super clean bathrooms and they have a store on site full of odd things you may have forgotten.

The sites were amazingly large with nice privacy between the lots. Easy to get into with plenty of room to spare. Each lot has full hook-ups, that was a huge bonus!! Definitely on our list of places to go back to!

This park features fishing in Whiskey Creek, (stocked with rainbow trout, crappies, and sunfish), picnic area, children's playground, semi-enclosed shelters, campground area with full hook-up and tent sites, two camping cabins, softball fields, frisbee golf, volleyball area and a children's zoo, which includes buffalo, whitetail deer, peacocks, and golden pheasants. Site had picnic table and fire ring.

Camping with the whole family so there may be some familiar rigs from other reviews of mine.

On the Gunflint Trail  off the beaten path! Get away from it all...really. No cell to bother you here! On Flour Lake with great service from the staff. Sights are close and tight but have nice tree and foliage growth between sites. No full hook up...but dump station on site. Fishing dock and boat rental on site with reasonable prices. In the Superior National  Forest..lots of hiking trails. Lakes all around to explore and the Gunflint  historical society up the road. Drive trail to end for some great views and the north south continental divide.  We were here for 6 days and loved it. Bath house geta a just ok from me...not the best or worse I've seen. Friendly folks everywhere.

This campground offers tent camping and RV camping, but really appears to be more for campers and RVs than tents. It's a little out of the way, and isn't terribly comfortable, although it does offer all the things you need to camp. There is a shower house, bathroom, playground and little beach. There are hookups and lake views. So it's not a bad spot, but appears to be more suited to those that are RV camping. There were a lot of 4 wheelers and ATVs. It also appeared as if most campers were there for more "longer term" than a simple overnight.

There was/were a picnic shelter, vending machine, fire rings, electric hookups etc. A dock at the beach allowed for fishing etc.

If you need an RV camp, this might be right up your alley, but as far as tent camping (and that is what I like to do), I wouldn't recommend it.

Some full hookup sites but we just had electric only. Sites are nicely spaced but tight width wise. On a little lake with a swimming area, great for kayaks, fishing, SUP. Lots of black flies but thats the lake lol.

This is a well kept and well run campground tucked in between the Mississippi River and the outlet of the Platte River. The emphasis is on RV camping, and a large percentage of the sites are for full season May to October rentals. However there are nightly and weekly rates with both full and partial hookups, and some basic tent sites in a nice location right on the river. Daily and weekly campsite rentals are a bit expensive, however the campground offers many resort amenities that arent part of usual campgrounds such as a full service lodge, large beautiful pool as well as a beach on the river, mini golf, canoes and kayaks, and their specialty: river tubing. The pluses at this location include nice river setting, great amenties, secure family-friendly grounds, and a variety of on site services. The monthly RV site rental is about $800 a month for a bluff side site which might be a nice retreat for families or retirees. The minuses are primarily that the nightly rental is not cheap, especially if you want to tent camp, but fir some folks the amenities might be worthwhile. Summer is peak season if course, it is quieter and cheaper in the fall and spring.

My extended family has gatherings here a couple times a year as it is close to everybody and a great location! The campground is open for the season from May 1st to October 1st each year, weather permitting.

Reasons we like this campground: lakefront sites are available, the town is small so pretty quiet but there are gas stations, restaurants, and stores (including Walmart), it is close to home for everybody so this tends to be the first trip of the year to get water in everything and make sure there are no fun surprises after wintering the campers for 5 to 6 months, has bathrooms, there is a walking trail close to the campground that goes around part of the lake. 

Additional details and amenities: 80 sites, 52 sites with full hookup which include water, sewer and electricity and 24 sites with water and electricity only and 4 primitive sites. All campsites contain a fire pit. Three sets of restrooms are contained within the campground with showers. Other amenities include: picnic tables, storm shelter, dump station, fish cleaning house, kayak rental, lake access with boat ramp and docks. Public beach, splash pad, bike trail, and playground adjacent.

Only 8 sites, but each is an acre in size. Full hookups. No other amenities but dark skies at night and the quiet you only get out in the country. I'll definitely come back here!

full hookup sites with picnic table and fire ring. Pool, playground, sand volleyball court, basketball court, shuffleboard, horseshoes. Showers and flush toilets in campground. Office has firewood, ice cream, candy, and other miscellaneous items for sale.

Large drive-through sites for RVs nice sitting close to the lakeA little spend he at 50 bucks a night

I prefer being in the woods, but this is great for last minute booking.
Pros. Full hookups. On park, next to playground and beach. Walking distance to restaurants and bars, And easily bike to the Cuyuna Mountain Bike Trails.

Cons. Road noise and low privacy.

The owners, Kathy and her husband, are wonderful hosts. The campground is extremely clean, well organized and relaxing. 50A full hookups at most sites, all are on the water. One dock for two or three campsites. Beautiful clean lake. Can't ask for more for only $55- a night.

This is one of the nicest campgrounds. Right on the lake and in town. It has a boat launch, playground, splash pad, fish cleaning station, beach, bathrooms and showers. Some sites have full hookups. Amazing rates! Have 3 trips booked for this summer alone. Found campground randomly because of the state parks being closed due to Covid-19. Strongly recommend!!!
