The park was so beautiful and maintained so well. Easy access to sites, water, dump, and showers. Great hiking trails too!

Campground was very nice, close to Grand Rapids, nice hiking trails attached, along with fishing, negative was the train going through at 2am blowing the horn, super loud.

Love this campground. Small but clean. Only thing that would make it better is wifi

We stay here regularly when in the area. The sites are level, the restrooms and showers are well-designed and clean. The trails across the Mississippi River dam are great. Only downside to this campground is its proximity to the highway and railroad. The trains dont come often, but when they do, they are loud. The highway is noisier during rush hour.

Garbage cans were full from the party before us. Had to clean up the party before us' trash. Parking lot was full of dirt piles. Otherwise the new pavilion was decent.

Very nice and clean little campground with spacious sites, half of them right along the Mississippi River. Nice bathrooms with shower. Nice hiking trails. I would have rated it excellent except that its just off of Hwy 2 which unfortunately elevates the noise level.

The campground was lovely, and the park ranger was very helpful. I would highly recommend.

This was our first camping experience with our new fifth wheel. We had site 10 and luckily the water spicket was just across the road so we were able to refill our fresh water. The showers were clean and warm. The host was very nice and helpful. We had a nice time and will definitely visit again when the acorns aren't dropping. The traffic and occasional train wasn't a problem. A nice campground for the price and close to the stores.
@GayleH1184978 · Camped on Sep 9, 2025 at Campsite #13
Serene view of the river helps us forget about: 1) the close by highway noise, 2) the occasional train noise, 3) the acorns dropping off of the giant oak trees onto our trailer roof this time of year, and 4) the occasional waft of sewer gas from the dump station depending on wind direction. Staff is always friendly, receptive to questions, and informative. Easy access to hiking and dog walking trails. Grand Rapids, MN offers small town friendliness, scenic drives, and good places to eat and drink with lots of shopping alternatives only minutes away from the campground. We will be back soon. Thank you!

Staff there was great.
@JudyL4A6EC0400 · Camped on Aug 24, 2025 at Campsite #3
Very nice campground with nice water view.
@KyleD6A7686899 · Camped on Aug 22, 2025 at Campsite #1
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.
@JosephF1050353 · Camped on Aug 19, 2025 at Campsite #19

@ClayHDFE0F18DD · Camped on Aug 15, 2025 at Campsite #1

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.
@MissySE9F56ED9 · Camped on Aug 8, 2025 at Campsite #2
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.
@williams984835 · Camped on Aug 6, 2025 at Campsite #10
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

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.
