With 50-amp full hookups and drive-in access directly from US-12, Outdoors Inn Campground provides RV-friendly camping along the Chippewa River in Benson. The private campground features water, electric, and sewer connections alongside standard amenities including restrooms, showers, and drinking water. Sites sit adjacent to the highway but reviewers report minimal noise issues from traffic.
The wooded riverbank creates a mix of forested and open terrain, while the owner-arborist sells hardwood bundles for the large fire pits fashioned from repurposed tank ends. Campers use the location as a base for exploring Swift Falls County Park and the Glacial Ridge Trail via Highway 29 north. Reservations are available for this $45-per-night campground that welcomes pets.
