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.

All restrooms and showers as well as the out house were always clean.

The neighbors kept making my dogs bark with there dogs. And then they complained about mine. There dogs caused mine to bark. My dogs are puppies and will bark.

Great smaller campground with lots of walking trails across the dam.

Excellent campground. Very clean and quiet. The bathrooms and showers were great! The sites are all paved. Campground is built beside the river. The right amount of trees and sun. One of the nicer campgrounds we have been to! Grand Rapids, MN is a very nice town. Amazing antique shop just miles east in Bovey.

We loved camping beside the Mississippi River and had a beautiful view from our campsite.

This was the worst campsite for backing in a fifth wheel. Site number 6. A load of gravel applied to the driver side entrance of the site would fix it. Currently there is no flare to the entrance of the site and there is an 8 inch drop off from the pavement to the grass. The gravel should be placed on the driver side entrance to be even in height with the paved pad and flare the entrance 6 to 8 feet. If you are not going to do what I suggested than it should be re-classified as a 20 foot or less site. Otherwise it's a nice park.

Wonderful area. Take your time and stay for a spell. Immaculate grounds. Fabulous landscaping.

The campground was excellent. All facilities were very good! We were not able to remain for a longer time and will try to stop there once again. We especially pleased to be able to reserve and register on-line well in advance of our arrival. Especially since it was pouring rain upon our arrival at the camp site.

Very nice campground. Visited MN Logging Camp at Grand Rapids Mn-very interesting. Hibbing-Greyhound Bus and Mine. All great.

Our campsite was not really great for tenting, but it was ample sized. It seems like this could be a good place to bring an RV, which is what most people had done. Bathroom and shower facilities were very clean. I'm pretty sure this is the campsite where I fell asleep to the sound of frogs, which was delightful.

Site 8 was quite difficult to back into. Once situated in the site it was fine.
