Nice park located in a Norway pine forest. Not much for kids to do. Limited playground
equipment. River runs next to the park, but no sites can see it! Staff are super to work with - very friendly and helpful. Close to a paved bike trail and close to downtown shopping. We have camped here a number of times over the past three years. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Two adults & 3 kids (age 6-8). The lake view from our wooded campsite was spectacular! The bathrooms looked brand new and were spotless. They have a nice lodge & pool. There is a little beach where the kids hunted snails. Nice playground. Lake Itasca State Park is a short drive away. We were sad to leave our little slice of paradise. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
My family camped here during the 4th of July holiday in 2003. My kids just loved it!! They had a golf cart/bike parade, so my children decorated their bikes and were a part of the parade. They also had an ice cream social up by the pool! The bathrooms were very clean and private. The staff there were very friendly and helpful. It was so nice to finely find a campground that had activities for the children and with such nice facilities!! I would recommed trying it out. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

They have new managers here this year & they do not care about their campers at all.We were there for Memorial weekend & the first day the dock broke & they never fixed it the whole weekend.The bathrooms were filthy & the showers had no hot water everytime we tried to use them.We had camped here last Memorial weekend & reserved the same spots for this year as usual when we were checking out. This year the manager came to our sites Monday morning & told us she had already reserved them for somebody else for next year. Doing this before even asking us if we would like to reserve them ourselves for next year. Saying this is their new policy now, if someone wants a spot it does not matter how long you have been reserving it.Would not recommend reserving a spot ahead of time, you could get there & they would put you somewhere else wihtout asking you first. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great campground...lots to do! Bear Paw campground is a little more open, but less campsites...Pine Ridge has more trees, but seemed smoky and crowded when we biked through. This is now one of our favorite parks and looking forward to returning next year. Make sure to bring your bikes! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We love this campground. There are 17 miles of paved biking paths, swimming beach, boat and bike rentals, 2 restaurants, Mississippi River headwaters and hiking. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Peaceful, family campground run by exceptionally friendly people. Wide sites and multiple shelters. Located on Potato Lake northeast of Park Rapids. Facilities for RV repairs, parts, accesories and LP. Great place to get your sanity back! We camped here in a camper.
