Old Wadena County Park

County-managed Old Wadena County Park sits along a river in central Minnesota, providing basic camping for both tents and RVs without hookups. The park features an old-fashioned hand pump for water access, though campers cannot connect hoses directly and must fill buckets or containers manually. River frontage allows launching canoes and kayaks directly from the property.

The setup accommodates various camping styles across several designated spots. For campers seeking additional options in the area, camping near Staples provides alternatives, while McGivern Park Campground offers another nearby choice less than two miles away.

Crow wing river

Beautiful park. Several camping spots for tents& RV’s no hookups. Although they have old fashioned water pump if you need water. Not able to connect a water hose. But can fill up buckets for water. On the river. So you can launch canoes&kayaks.
