Great campground in a good location for touring the Minneapolis area. Easy big rig access and nice sites. Beautiful, clean casino on property. Campground fills up on summer weekends so be sure to call ahead for reservations. Will stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I will echo what most others have said, though I had no problem with the side-by-side pull throughs. We opened our slides and awning alongside a motorhome with no problem. Due to the diagonal sites your front and picnic area are offset from your neighbor. The park is clean and well run and the staff is courteous. The rows of sites are tiered up a hill, but each site is very level. We would return. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campground is well maintained. They may say they don't allow tents but some were on RV sites last weekend. The pull through sites are side by side so that the power and water connections for each RV are next to each other. This makes them tight for rigs with slide outs. The staff is friendly and helpful. We stayed here for a week. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice park, clean, well organized. As previous posts have said the side by side sites are very close, had to pull our shades on the road side or you would be looking into their window. Trailer had to be positioned so slides would not hit. They have back in sites which give you plenty of room on both sides but are hard to get. We chose this park, not because of the casino but it was close to relatives we were visiting. No cable TV but you can pick up several channels. The best part of the park is the price, $31 a night for concrete pads, full hook ups and very good WI-FI connection. Did not give it a ten because of the close side by side sites. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Nice campground with all cement sites. Sites are very close together. The park is very clean and well maintained, with water, sewer and electricity hookups. It was very quiet with one exception about 10:00 at night, the cars next door at the casino were tearing around in and out of the parking lot. It lasted about 1/2 hour. I don't think this is a nightly thing but I don't know. Overall very nice. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Park is part of the Mystic Lake Casino complex. All cement sites, wide roadways, with long pull-thrus. Grass picnic areas for each site. Even have an RV wash and diesel gas on the property. Easy walk or take the shuttle to casino, which is a huge casino/hotel/convention/entertainment complex...they have really good, affordable food at several restaurants. The only negative is the way the park is laid out, each pull-thru site is faced in the opposite direction, so you have a neighbor right next to you (way too close) on the drivers side, but a wide grass picnic area on the door/awning side...other than that minor issue, we really liked this park!! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great place. Have stayed here 3 times. Very nice. Very clean. Friendly people. Took the shuttle to casino and walked once. Great casino. Great food. My husband even won playing the slots. We were there the 4th of July and fireworks were very nice. We could watch them from our camper. They have entertainment on a regular basis. We saw Larry The Cable Guy last year and it was a great show. Just get on line at Mystic casino's web site and you can see what the upcoming entertainment is going to be. We really enjoy going to this campground. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is our campground of choice while in the Twin Cities area. Although it is not as convenient as some of the others we find it clean, secure and friendly. Nice level concrete sites and paved roads with shade trees, picnic tables, fire rings, and barbeque grills with the casino within walking distance (although they have shuttles). We probably would not care for the side-by-side pull thru sites, but the back in sites are very nicely spaced. Price is two days weekend rate with a $5/off coupon for one weekday night. We will definitely stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a very good RV park which is part of a large casino based complex. Good paved roads and sites, grass, trees and picnic table. Everything clean. The only knocks against it are the side by side hookups and no cable TV although satellite reception was no problem. The price was a summer weekly rate with another free day promo. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was our second time staying at this park and would definitely return again. The campground is a bit of a drive from Minneapolis / St. Paul but most of the driving is highway and once you get to know you way around its really not so bad. The amenities were great, level concrete pad with a good amount of grass, a picnic bench and a fire pit. It has paved interior roads with 24 hour security. The park is part of the Mystic Lake casino so if you want to visit the casino a bus will pick you up at your campsite with just a phone call. The bathrooms were very clean. They have their own gas and diesel pumps and an interior RV/car wash. Those traveling with kids will love Playworks. It is like a Chucky cheese and a daycare center rolled into one. You can drop your children off for a few hours to have some quiet time while the kids have a blast playing video games and climbing in the 3 story jungle gym. The campground is very clean and well maintained. My only complaint would be the laundry prices, $2.00 for wash and also for the dryer. I think that’s a little steep. Other than that this is a great campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We are here for work, and found out the hard way that camping in winter is a lot of work. During winter, the campground does not offer their water hookup. But they will let you use the water hose from their laundry room to fill your fresh water tank if you like. We did it, and within one day, the fresh water tank was frozen. So most of the RVers camping here during the winter carry their 5-gallon or one-gallon water jugs and fill them up at their laundry room sink or bathrooms. The staff is helpful and friendly. The WiFi connection is fast. You are right next to the Mystic Lake Casino so the WiFi is provided from there. I love the gas station and RV/Car wash being right in the campground, it is very convenient. The only thing missing is the propane service, which you can get from a gas station a few miles from here, or if you are staying for a long period of time, rent larger tank from local vendors. All and all, it is a pleasant experience for us, besides the bitter cold. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Really nice park with a competent and friendly staff. There is shuttle service to the casino but it is an easy walk. Security was great! There appear to be surveillance cameras plus they are driving through regularly. We printed online coupons for fuel and our site and took advantage of the RV/car wash. The back-in sites are spacious and the pull throughs are two side-by-sides. There is a nice playground area and primitive tipi's are available for rent. Laundry room was clean. We will stay again.

An outstanding park that is run in a very businesslike manner. Very clean, great paved and level sites, easy ingress and egress. The sites are side by side and, in my opinion,have plenty room. The way the side by side sites are laid out provides the passenger side with a large grassy and tree area on most sites. This park compares favorably with most Outdoor Resorts parks we have been in. Would highly recommend it. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We are never disappointed in this campground. It is well kept with all paved, curbed sites in a nice setting which happens to be next to Mystic Lake Casino. All sites are 50 amp, and the wireless system has been greatly improved over the past year. Reservations are getting a little more challenging as this park is discovered by locals who looking to save fuel staying close to the twin cities. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Read about this park while planning the continuation of our trip east, from S. Dakota. What a great place!! We were able to get two nights without a reservation. The only thing keeping this from a "10" is the lack of cable, but then we aren't here to watch TV! We camped here in a Motorhome.

From the level spacious concrete pads, to the nice green space and immaculate grounds, this place is well done. Easy access to the Mystic Lake Casino if that is your thing, or over to a huge fitness club with pool and gym if you'd rather go that route. They even have an RV-wash on site, and a great storm shelter if the weather gets too wacky. And it was really quiet! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a wonderful park. Big, paved sites. We had a wonderful view of the pond in the middle. Nice roads for riding bikes. If all casinos have RV parks like this, we will have to stay at more of them. They have a company that brings propane in at your site on Mondays and they also have a gas station and RV and car wash on site. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here for 3 weeks, it is a clean, well kept park. Almost every day there were people out mowing and trimming and the office staff is great - friendly and accommodating. We like the back in sites for a long stay, but for a few nights the pull-throughs work fine. The park was full on the weekends so reservations a must. Wish all parks were this great!

Dakota Meadows is an excellent campground. The sites are cement with full hookups in good working order. It was cold during our visit but many retirees were stopping there, and have done so several years as they return from the south. Washrooms and showers, as well as laundromat, are very clean, quite new and neat. We automatically were given a weekly discounted rate without asking. It is next door to the casino. Although we didn't choose the campground for its location, there is a regular shuttle to the casino. We also left our RV stored for 2 days while we made a side trip. They were very accommodating, and charged very nominal fee to park it in the front parking lot. Is not far from any attractions and the twin cities. We would definitely come back here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Previous review said "Ask for a back-in site; you’ll be glad you did. I was told the back-in sites are not for customers who pay the weekly rate." This is not so. When we first got here, we had a pull-through site. And I agree, they are too close for comfort. When we decided to say for a few weeks, we had to move because the site we were in was requested by someone. We moved to a back-in site and have been paying for it weekly. The campground is top notch. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. There is great security, you can have groceries delivered, you can get propane delivered and the shuttle to the nearby casino is available. The only reason I gave a 9 rating is due to the drive-through sites being so "snug". But even in them, you do get a decent grassy area with fire pit and picnic table. We camped here in a Motorhome.

As noted in other reviews, the pull-through sites are situated much too close to each other. On the park’s comment card, I suggested redesigning the sites to better accommodate their customers. It would be my guess that they have received similar comments from other customers. It seems to me that the comment box was full since the card would not push easily through the slot. The park is clean, well-maintained, convenient and secure. The TV antenna picked up several clear stations; no problem for satellite TV. There was a strong signal for Verizon broadband (internet) and cell phone. There is a $3.00 refundable deposit for the bathrooms/showers. There was ample room (lengthwise) for a big rig and toad. Ask for a back-in site; you’ll be glad you did. I was told the back-in sites are not for customers who pay the weekly rate. Everything about this park would justify a high rating, except for the “too close for comfort” factor. Since privacy between neighbors is a common desire among Americans, this rating is based on the park’s inability to provide their customers with adequate distance between RVs in pull-through sites. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We've been here many times and keep coming back. All roads and sites are concrete and the restrooms feature huge showers and are always well maintained. Most sites are pull-thru with shared hookups. The closeness (esp with slides) is the biggest negative of the place. The saving graces are the very large grass areas between RVs the on the curbside plus many people are gone for many hours (either sightseeing or at the casino). In reality most RVs are quiet essentially all the time. Like others have mentioned, we like the back-in sites esp for longer stays. We have one reserved during the FMCA convention this Summer (2008). I don't know if they have or have had special rules on these sites but we've been in them for several days at a time and the only problem has been finding one open for the whole time we going to be there. One trip we were next door to a construction worker who was there for the Summer (2006). We camped here in a Motorhome.

Access to park was hindered due to construction in the area but this is not a reflection on the park. Signs as you enter the park are not helpful in knowing where to stop and the office is call headquarters. The sites share utilities which is a negative for privacy and there is no cable TV. The streets are paved and so are the RV sites. The hookups are well located and easy to use. Highway 42 to the park is real hub cap loosener. It is hard to find a better park in the area so we overlook the negatives and try to enjoy the positives of this park. The staff is friendly and helpful. If you are going to stay in the Minneapolis area, it is hard to beat this park and I have tried them all. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Dakota Meadows is a five star campgrounds. They have ultra modern facilities, lots of amenities, all the hookups in the world. As a part of the Mystic Lake Casino, free shuttles around the complex is a real convenience. Their Little Six Tepee restaurant has excellent food and staff with bargain prices. Here is a really interesting note; If you are a tent camper or do not even own a tent, the large Te Pee tents which sleep 5-10 people are their for your use! You can go tent camping and they even provide the tent via permanently mounted 18 foot tall Te Pee's. Can't beat that! Really enhances the Native/American theme. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Like any other campground, Dakotah Meadows has it's "pros and cons", and those "pros and cons" will vary with each person's perspective. From our perspective, here are the PROS: concrete pads, paved roads, landscaped sites, EXCELLENT water and STRONG water pressure (I measured 57 psi),large playground for the kiddies, wide sites, fire rings, a self-service RV and car wash, gas and diesel fuel on the premises, shuttle to the casino, close to the city (i.e., Bloomington and/or Minneapolis/St. Paul), close to the mall (the Mall of America in Bloomington), and close (less than 4 miles) to a Wal-Mart supercenter and a Home Depot. The CONS (in our opinion) are: the pull-through sites (as mentioned by a previous rater) are poorly designed and result in being VERY close to your neighbor (if you both have your slides out, you'll have to walk sideways to pass between them), the only discount you'll get here is a whopping ONE DOLLAR off per night, and then only if you belong to AAA or FMCA (but on the up side, they don't ask for proof of membership). They also don't have cable TV, but that wasn't an issue for us as we have DirecTV. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice park. It was very clean as were the bathrooms/showers. Laundry facility was nice and the dryers worked very well. The sites are concrete and are very level. The only faults we found at this park was that the WIFI is NOT currently available at all the sites. It only works at the sites that are closest to the office (about 6 sites.) The staff was aware of the problem and said they were working on getting it through the entire park. They do have a table and chairs outside of the office to sit and use your laptop. The other fault was that each site is a back to back for 2 units. This makes your front door facing someone else and the back of your rig up to the person behind you. Not a great layout. It just screams profit and not comfort. It was not enough to make me leave or to make me not think about camping here again though. It was too nice otherwise. They have fuel (including diesel) on site and also have a wash facility large enough for motorhomes and travel trailers. It is close to many area attractions including the Mall of America. They also have shuttles to take you to the casino. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The park is spread out around a pond. Sites are all concrete with grass between. Everything is well maintained and clean. Staff is pleasant and efficient. We were able to get WIFI from our site which was about as far as possible from the office. There is some noise at night from car horns at the next door casino. A bus runs often to the casino where besides gambling there are several places to dine. A security car often patrols the area. There is a nice fenced in play ground and a pool across the road at a fitness center. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Access roads are wide and paved however some maintenace needed on roads in top part of campground. Back-ins sites are excellent, but pull-thru sites are close back to back with services in the centre. All sites are full hook-up with good landscaping. Quiet location despite casino next door.

A great facility! The whole grounds area (campground, casino, golf course, health club) were very well kept. ONE ISSUE: if you don't want to be really close to another camper, then don't book one of the pull-through sites (they a designed so you are not facing one another, but you are really, really close to the person behind you). Great food at the casino and shuttles runs all night long to bring you back to the campground (though the campground is only walking distance from the casino). We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This RV park is adjacent to and owned by Mystic Lake Casino www.MysticLake.com Casino is the largest gaming and entertainment facility in Minnesota. It is the cleanest facility we have ever been in. There are five restaurants, golf course, large fitness center, car/RV wash ($3) AND gas pump (3 cents below current local price). The wash and gas areas are very large - leave your toad on and drive thru. Staff was very pleasant and helpful. The sport, aquatic and fitness center is $5 a day and a pass is available for the golf course at member rates. The large RV park is around a lake. The sites are different in that two rigs facing opposite direction on one pad. The grass and table are on the outside of pad. If you had someone next to you slide outs would almost touch. Most double sites in the park had only one occupant. Sorry we didn't use the laundry or restrooms. Park is nice to walk around and very quiet. Will stay here again when in the area. Concrete RV pads, asphalt roads. WiFi available in Office ONLY. Good Verizon cell phone reception. We camped here in a Motorhome.
