    Eagle Point Park

    Quiet lake campground

    I stayed here one night while traveling. The bathrooms seemed fire. I could not find a dumper on site. There is a dump station. Plenty of tent only camping areas. All sites require some leveling. Some of the sites have water hookups. Lots of people use the park during the day. It was very quiet at night.

    There is a coffee shop about a 20 minute walk from the park. There is a public swimming beach less than a 10 minute walk from the park.

    You might be able to get a large rig into the first few spots. But if you try to drive the loop around to the other sites, you might not make it. But I did not have trouble in my 25 foot motor home.

    I had great 5G signals from Verizon and T-mobile here.

    Willow River State Park Campground

    Tent camped here

    Facilities are great no complains, the beach is a bit over run my goose so is a little dirty, there is a great spot below the dam to cool off if needed.

    Boulder Woods RV Park

    Mature trees and park like setting

    Boulder Woods is mostly seasonal camping but does have RV sites for overnight and weekly camping. The park is well maintained with power and water at all sites. There is a view of Ann Lake, however, the RV park is not on the banks of the lake and does not have access to the lake.

    Bunker Hills Regional Park

    Quick stop in MN

    Stayed here for an overnight stop through MN. Close to downtown which was nice for us coming through. Water fill stations readily available so we loaded up prior to continuing out west. Easy late check in with campsite hosts. Lots of site options from open gield options to pretty tree covered areas. Fire grates and restrooms ava. Your reservation fee does NOT include the daily parks fee of 7 dollars just FYI. Lots of mosquitoes but it's MN so that's to be expected. Close to a top 10 disc golf course if that's your thing (it's ours)

    Willow River State Park Campground

    133

    We stayed at Site 133 and found it to be fairly spacious. One downside was that there’s a trail running just behind the site, and several campers cut through our area to access it, which disrupted the sense of privacy.

    While the walk to the running water bathroom was a bit longer than we preferred, the facilities themselves were clean and nicely updated.

    There weren’t many mature trees or good spots for hammocking, but the dense sumac in July offered great natural privacy. We also appreciated being in a no-generator loop, which kept things peaceful—though highway noise was noticeable in the evenings.

    Overall, a solid site with a few trade-offs.

    Old Logging Trail — St. Croix State Park

    Beautiful park!

    The drive into the park was absolutely beautiful!! Stayed at old logging trail campground. I was initially worried because I didn't realize the site was right next to a vault toilet, but besides for the occasional flashlight at night, it felt secluded. It was very buggy, so be prepared for that. I can't wait to go back so I can explore more of the park!

    Dongola Campground

    Beautiful, quiet, spacious!!!

    Of all the RV parks we have stayed at, Dongola Campground is by far our favorite! It’s just far enough out of town to be tranquil but close enough for convenience. There are groomed/mowed trails that wind through the beautiful 40 acre property, great for walking, bicycling, or golf carts. We even saw a bald eagle during our stay here.
