Accessible only by canoe from the Mississippi River, this county-managed campground sits along the water in Royalton, Minnesota. The single canoe campsite operates on a first-come, first-served basis with onsite registration required. Overnight stays are limited to one night, and no vehicles are permitted at the site.
The park also maintains separate bicycle camping near the picnic shelter fire pit, following the same one-night limit and registration system. Group camping is available for youth and educational organizations like Boy Scouts and 4-H clubs through advance reservations at no charge. Campfires are allowed, and cell service reaches the area. For those exploring the broader region, campsites outside Royalton provide additional overnight options.
