Clean, quiet and well maintained. I love COE campgrounds.

Nice campground, but the electric needs to be updated. We experienced constant surges of electric. There were also dogs running all over on their own without leashes. We had to yell at dogs to get out of our camp site multiple times. There were side by side utv's driving around, and the park rules state they are not allowed. I think the rules should be enforced, otherwise this nice campground will become out of control which would be a shame.

We were not approached by the campground host, asked other campers where things were etc, they were helpful

Space #9 was very nice. Had good shade for our 27 foot travel trailer. Restrooms and showers were clean. We stayed four days and enjoyed the park as well as the area shopping. Price was great using our lifetime senior pass. Highly recommend!

Extremely clean and quiet campground, electric at site, potable water and dump station available. Wonderful place

Small Corp of Engineers park on the Mississippi River. You can not see the river from the campground. There is an area immediately before the campground where you can fish the river. The sites are a gravel/dirt. They only have electric sites, which were for the most part level. The sites are shady and plenty of space between campsites. Very clean dump area. Get your gas, groceries and firewood before the park as there is nothing around. The town of Bemidji is about 30 minutes away.

Too many campers without their dogs on a leash and not controlling them. Walking around the road in the campground when a aggressive bulldog came out and attacked my daughter and her dog and the owners were not taking responsibility for it. Thankfully they left the next morning.

@CindyW8273974 · Camped on May 22, 2025 at Campsite #8
It was great.

The campground is very nice. paved road right to the campground. Sites are spread out with plenty of space, paved loop road is good with easy service to sites and dump station, bath house is one of the best we have seen / used, quiet atmosphere, the commons / boat landing area is very nice with full service for boat landing or day use. The Rangers do their best to maintain the CG but they have several CGs / Areas to maintain and are stretched rather thin. There is a full time CG host but in as many times as we have been here we have NEVER seen them do ANYTHNG, we have never seen them leave their site, they are very unfriendly with no camper interaction ? No CG mowing, site clean between reservations, no fire pit cleaning, no general trash pickup, or general conditions maintenance, thank goodness the bath house / vault toilets cleaning is sub contracted they do a great job ! in example - we told the host that the vault toilets were out of hand sanitizer and they told us we dont do that the service will provide. Very disappointing that their job description is just be there ????

Winnie Dam campground is the place to stay. Camp hosts are welcoming and friendly. The campground is well kept and the park down by the dam is great for the little ones as well as the adults. Will be going back for sure. Happy camping everyone!!

In addition to a great campground the camp hosts were very helpful when I needed help because of a hamstring injury.
@MichaelS838841 · Camped on Jul 12, 2024 at Campsite #6
Very Clean, and nice and quiet with a nice level shady site!!
@MarleneW224005 · Camped on Jul 1, 2024 at Campsite #9
Very quiet campground, spacious sites, clean showers and restrooms.
@WENDYB6967976 · Camped on Jun 23, 2024 at Campsite #11
Very nice clean bathrooms and showers (2). Nice shaded sites. The water is not visible from your sites, but we knew that. I would recommend staying there.
@JanetteIBD6DC0 · Camped on May 20, 2024 at Campsite #19
Nice small quiet campground, clean showers. We had rain all week. We came to bike ride, I thought there were trails closer, but we had to drive 25 miles to Cass Lake to the Migizi Trail. We could have also take a ride on the Heartland trail out of Cass Lake to Walker but the weather wasn't cooperating. If you wanted to fish, I would highly recommend this campground. A little tight at the Dump Station but water pressure was good and you didn't have to drag out your own hoses.

Campsite and bathrooms were very clean. Very well lit at night for access to the bathrooms.
@ChuckB9454908 · Camped on Oct 3, 2023 at Campsite #16
Campground should be open one week longer to include MEA weekend.
@GordonM3CC6FDF · Camped on Sep 30, 2023 at Campsite #5
Worst possible experience. There was a squatter in my spot that refused to leave. Harassed and threatened me when I tried to claim my reserved campsite. Called the recreation.gov phone number to complain and they said there was nothing they could do and gave me a phone number of a "local ranger". Called them multiple times and no answer and return call from voicemail I left. Have tried numerous times to try and get my camping fee back but hear NOTHING from recreation.gov.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
