Best Campgrounds near Sunburg, MN

231 Reviews

Campgrounds in the Sunburg, Minnesota area feature a mix of state parks, county parks, and private facilities with options for tent, RV, and cabin camping. Monson Lake State Park Campground, located directly in Sunburg, offers a small, quiet camping experience with only 20 sites including 6 electric hookups. Nearby alternatives include Sibley State Park with its Oak Ridge Campground and camper cabins, and Games Lake County Park in New London. Most campgrounds in the region provide basic amenities like drinking water, picnic tables, and fire rings, with several offering electric hookups for RVs.

The camping season in this part of Minnesota typically runs from May through September, with some facilities like Glacial Lakes State Park remaining open year-round. "This is a very small campsite with only 6 electric sites. The rest of the sites are non electric. The sites are good sized and spread out giving you privacy," noted one camper about Monson Lake State Park. Reservation requirements vary by location, with most county and state parks requiring advance bookings, especially during summer weekends. Weather conditions can change rapidly in the region, particularly during spring and fall, when overnight temperatures may drop significantly. Cell service is generally available but can be spotty in more remote areas like Swift Falls County Park.

Several mixed-use campgrounds around Sunburg highlight the region's connection to Minnesota's glacial lakes. Campers frequently mention the fishing, boating, and swimming opportunities at sites like Games Lake County Park. While Monson Lake State Park receives moderate reviews due to limited amenities and maintenance concerns, nearby Kandiyohi County parks rate highly for their lake access and family-friendly facilities. A visitor commented that Games Lake County Park has "no waterfront sites but the lake is still close by! There is a nearby boat launch with parking. As well as a playground and beach area with a slide." The proximity to water features makes most developed campgrounds in the region popular destinations during summer months, with many offering boat launches and swimming areas.

    Glacial Lakes State Park Campground

    Beautiful, buggy

    Beautiful park with rolling prairies. Oak Ridge campground is prettier, quieter, and more private than the Lower campground. Site 28 and 30 don’t have tree cover, but have beautiful views of the rolling hills. Site was a bit buggy, but very manageable with bug spray and a Thermacell. The bugs on the hiking trails were unrelenting even with lots of deet bug spray- I was planning to hike 5 miles but had to stop after 2. Would be nice to have showers in the Oak Ridge campground as it’s a long walk to the Lower campground.

    Andes RV Park

    Great camping spot!

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an incredible stay at Andes RV Park! The facilities are top-notch, with brand-new, spacious bathrooms and showers that were really nice and clean! The park offers a fantastic range of activities, including golf cart rentals, volleyball, horseshoes, disc golf, pickle ball, etc…and in winter, cross-country skiing and tubing—there’s something for everyone! The laundry room, the firewood and the ice delivery service were a convenient touch, and easy as a quick phone call or text. The owners were exceptionally friendly and accommodating, making us feel right at home. Highly recommend this gem for a fun and relaxing RV camping experience!

    Side note: if coming in summer make sure to bring plenty of bug spray!!!

    Lake Carlos State Park Campground

    Absolutely Beautiful!

    We are camping/glamping in. 30’ fifth wheel. The sites here are spacious and cozy at the same time. Feels like we are deep in the forest but civilization is close enough for WiFi! Get some firewood from the Ranger, the fire pits are great!!

    Oak Ridge Campground — Sibley State Park

    First time at Sibley

    Went for a last minute solo moto camping trip. Campground is beautiful. Clean, and great trails. Mosquitos were minimal, but the wood ticks were out in force.

    Site was on a bit of a slope, and, in a pretty open area compared to the sites before it. The site I was on only 2 trees, which would be great for a hammock. Lots of traffic, driving, people biking, and walking by. It was pretty constant until around 9pm.

    If you're looking for a bit of privacy, I'd recommend any of the sites before 96. If you're looking for ease of access to multiple camping spots (for a family get together with extended family) sites after 94 would be great for that.

    Overall I enjoyed the campground. I will stay again, just not at the spot I was at.

    Glacial Lakes State Park Campground

    Camper Cabin stay with kids.

    Had a great stay, everything was as expected with a camper cabin. Beautiful park with great trails and a beautiful lake! Our cabin was a long ways from the shower facility which I knew going into the weekend. Parking near showers was close to non existent.

    Games Lake County Park

    EXPERIENCE OUT THERE

    Just got back from a weekend at Games Lake County Park and honestly, it exceeded expectations! Before heading out, I actually asked ChatGPT for camping suggestions in Minnesota, and this spot came up—and wow, it did not disappoint. Super clean facilities, friendly staff, and plenty of space for both tents and RVs. The kids loved the beach area and playground, and we spent most of our time fishing and boating on the lake—it’s such a peaceful spot. Definitely a great find for families or anyone looking to relax in nature. Big thanks to ChatGPT for pointing me in the right direction!
