West 40 RV Park operates seasonally from May through October on private land in Gilbert, accommodating RVs up to 75 feet with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer connections. The campground features both forested and open terrain areas, though campers should expect rough access roads leading to the property.
Basic amenities include restrooms, showers, drinking water, and a dump station, with campfires permitted throughout the grounds. Reservations are available and pets are welcome. One recent visitor praised the helpful owners and noted the park's proximity to off-road vehicle areas, making it a convenient base for campgrounds near Virginia exploring the Iron Range region.
Description
Let us be your base-camp when you come to enjoy the Gilbert or any of our local attractions. We are family-owned since 2004 and provide a relaxed atmosphere with plenty of open space so you can roam about. We offer the best camping value in Gilbert!
There are 22 drive-through, full-hookup sites for large campers or RV's with lots that are 75 feet long. We also have 17 individual back-in sites that are between 40-70 feet. These are all great spots to set up camp while you explore the Mesabi Iron Range. Each site includes a fire pit and picnic table, plus 20, 30 or 50 amp electric. Many of our back-in sites have water and sewer.
We have four exclusive tent sites, two group tent sites(up to four tents per group site) and eight additional tent/small camper sites bordering wooded areas. Some have electric and others are rustic. All tent sites have nearby water for cooking. Restrooms or porta-potties are just a short walk. Each site includes a fire ring and picnic tables.
