Reservations are available at this KOA Journey in Marion, Minnesota, and the campground runs from mid-March through late October. One practical note before arrival: the direct access road has been subject to construction closures, and multiple campers report that taking Exit 224 off the Interstate, then County Road 7 to Highway 52, is a more reliable route than the directions provided by the campground itself. The access is flagged as rough, so drivers with large rigs should plan accordingly. Maximum RV length is 60 feet, with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer.
The grounds are divided by a road, with the office-side sites being more established and the opposite side featuring newer sites and a small pool. Shaded, grassy sites are a consistent detail across reviews. Campers note that buddy sites appear on the older side of the property, which means closer quarters with neighbors. Sites near the bathrooms are useful for campers with mobility considerations.
Cleanliness stands out as the most frequently mentioned quality across all six reviews. Edward C. notes that "bathrooms are cleaned frequently and well stocked," and that pattern holds across multiple visits spanning several years. The laundry room has had dryers out of service on at least one occasion, so campers with laundry needs should verify availability. Pets are allowed.
This campground functions well as an overnight stop for travelers passing through the Rochester area, with quick Interstate access making it a practical one-night layover. Those extending their stay in the region can explore Chester Woods Patk a few miles northeast or check campgrounds near Marion for additional options.
