Very nice campground with nice water view.

Clean campground to include the bathrooms. Playground was great! Some road noise but that wasnt a deal breaker for us. The 1 am train with horns wasnt ideal. Another thing that was a bit of a bother were the non paying campers spending the night in the parking area near the playground and bathroom. The second night we also had someone spending the night in the pavilion near site 1. All that said we would stay here again.

We have stayed at Pokegama many times over the past few years, Always ( well almost always) on the river side, The view is great in the morning and even better sometimes in the evening,. We used to enjoy talking to the Ranger that would come around to check us in, guess that's a thing of the past, However we did see one drive by, so they do exist.For us it makes a great place to camp and is also near where our daughter and family live and also granddaughter and her family live nearby in Grand Rapids. The camp is neat and well kept, the rest rooms are clean . This was our second stay at Pokegama this year, and am looking ahead to next year.

Campground was nice. If you have a riverside site, expect people to walk through the grass by your site. The bathroom and shower rooms are at the main building but because of the dam and trails nearby you get people who arent campers using the bathrooms constantly, same goes for the parking lot.

Excellent campsite. All is clean and well maintained.

@ThomasB3452376 · Camped on Aug 5, 2025 at Campsite #6

One of the nicest COE campgrounds around. As everyone knows there are a lot of them. Campsites are large and level and right on the Mississippi River. Very peaceful except for the occasional trains going by. Trains didnt bother our campsite visitora cute little black bear that was up in a tree and then came down and ran right in front of us.

@BarryS5552372 · Camped on Aug 3, 2025 at Campsite #4

Great spot to camp.

@JudyB6641446 · Camped on Aug 3, 2025 at Campsite #5

Beautiful little campground

@DonaldS2271497 · Camped on Jul 18, 2025 at Campsite #14

Great location along the Mississippi River and staff are friendly, helpful and professional. Thank You!

@JohnS6889697 · Camped on Jul 18, 2025 at Campsite #19

Clean and well spaced out sites. Clean restrooms and showers. Lots of highway noise and train noise, but thats to be expected given the location. Close to Grand Rapids for everything you might need.

@TracyF1893156 · Camped on Jul 18, 2025 at Campsite #13

We've stayed at this campground many times. Always perfect - beautiful scenery, campsites and location!

@RichardT729403 · Camped on Jul 16, 2025 at Campsite #15

This campground was very well kept and had some great hiking trails along the headwaters of the Mississippi.

@BonnieM4647918 · Camped on Jul 13, 2025 at Campsite #18

overall nice sites and clean facilities. Only negative was the highway and train noise. We were in a site close to both (#18).

@TimB5907913 · Camped on Jul 10, 2025 at Campsite #19

Great location, large spots, and clean. Will be back.

Love this place!!!!

@JoeK5232803 · Camped on Jul 2, 2025 at Campsite #11

Very well maintained campground. It's fun watching the water go through the dam. Some highway noise, but not to the point of being bothersome.

@AlfredD1C441BD · Camped on Jul 1, 2025 at Campsite #17

Very nice campground. Accessibility was excellent. Campground was very clean!

@AlannaZ8A84CAE · Camped on Jun 29, 2025 at Campsite #8

Beautiful campground! Highway and trains are quiet at night so it is very peaceful. Walking trail across the dam is lovely. Showers excellent, friendly people, easy to maneuver in and out. Would definitely stay here again.

@ThomasB3452376 · Camped on Jun 25, 2025 at Campsite #12

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.

@Wondering - Oregon

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.
