Clearly, a great clean site. Beach is clean, great boat landing and good walking opportunities via campsite roads and trails. No docks though to park your boat. Nearby entertainment, golf and dining.

Always enjoy camping at Gull Lake COE Campground. Well kept campsites, clean restrooms and beautiful swimming beach.

We visited the Milford Mine Memorial Park and enjoyed it. It was real history.

We stayed at the park in June and again in October this year and will definitely be back again next season. The park is always clean and well kept. Staff are friendly and always willing to help. This was our first year trying the park and what a little gem! I would say it's our favorite place to stay.

The Gull Lake COE campground is simply beautiful with large well maintained sites. The bathrooms were extremely clean. We had a lovely time there.

It was good BUTI didnt like the fact that one of the hosts were waiting for me to leave before check out. I was having difficulty hooking up as my receiver and tongue werent cooperating. He finally left and went to clean another site.

The campground is kept immaculate by the volunteers. One of them told my hubby that they want to have each new camper that comes in feel like they are the first ones ever to stay there. They have a box at each campsite that has your vehicle tag, brochure and firewood information in it, which is convenient.There was a change since we were here a couple years ago, and a new road was built is right along the edge of the campground. The noise was noticeable with large vehicles "jake braking", motorcycles and just traffic in general. I am guessing it was changed to decrease the amount of traffic over the one lane bridge when the park had the North Entrance open too. That road and subsequent noise is the reason I did not give the park a 5 star score.

Clean campground and sites. Staff very nice and helpful. The beach was raked every day and was super clean. So was the lake!
@michaelk687828 · Camped on Sep 21, 2025 at Campsite #2
Wonderful camping experience. Amazing what they are doing especially in light of how poorly the staff is being treated by their central office
@RobertW1226972 · Camped on Sep 18, 2025 at Campsite #33
Rangers are always helpful and friendly. The Volunteers as well! Thank you ...
@LindaK3043012 · Camped on Sep 12, 2025 at Campsite #30
Great sites, both large and private. Bathroom facilities are nice. Great place to have kids with a large playground, picnic area and a place to fish. We weren't happy with the wood procedure. You can only get wood between 6-8. We were there early on our arrival day and spent the day with no wood for a fire. We had to change meal plans because our first meal was a fire meal! Gotta b a different way!

Great sites. Friendly staff
@KarynTDB93DB69 · Camped on Sep 11, 2025 at Campsite #2
Great sites, very clean and well set up. We were only there for a night so it did not experience much more of the campground. Would definitely come back.
@EvelynA6AC8AF9 · Camped on Sep 9, 2025 at Campsite #9
Excellent experience! Campground clean, well laid out. Rangers came by first day to check on me and point out amenities. Very professional and helpful. Enjoyed it. I will be back!

Very clean and well-maintained campground. Curt, the host we interacted with, was excellent. Great asset to a nice campground. He excels at customer service. Very clean bathrooms and showers.
@LisaK7683911 · Camped on Aug 26, 2025 at Campsite #23
We love this campground! The sites are well kept and they have the cleanest shower/restrooms we have ever experienced. They have plenty of play space for children and a great beach. We will definitely visit again!
@JannaSC2022497 · Camped on Aug 24, 2025 at Campsite #11
Gull Lake used to be one of our favorite RV parks. This last year Minnesota decided to build a loud, busy road right next to the campground. Traffic starts early in the morning and persists into the evening. I think that says enough for most people. Such a shame.

Love the campsites and parks for kids!

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!!!
