Hidden Valley Campground in Welch, Minnesota is located between two wonderful resources: The Canon Valley Bike Trail, and the Canon River. Unfortunately, this campground is one for families to avoid! The web site promises a tranquil stay in a picturesque setting, however the proof is in reality. Despite the 10 mph rule, there was much exhibition driving. The 11 pm quiet hour was largely ignored by the many drunk guests. There was an unleashed dog wandering around in the women's bathroom. I heard chain saws being used to presumably cut firewood, and heard fireworks being shot after quiet hours. All this despite "rules" against such activities. "Amenities" are sparse electrical hookups taken up by permanent campers, water from the bathroom sink, a playground of dilapidated equipment, and bathrooms which were poorly maintained and just plain disgusting! Between the ceaseless noise of boom-boxes blaring, the cursing, screaming, and gnashing of teeth till all hours of the night, and the filth and stench of the bathrooms, you will feel like you were literally transported to the bowels of hell! We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Beautiful campground with large sites and located 1 mile from a tubing/canoeing facility and the Cannon Valley bike path. . . . BUT sites are hard to back into due to trees, many sites are not level. First come, first serve and no direction on how to get into spots. Gravel roads, which is not unusual, but high amount of traffic from seasonals going in and out makes for lots of dust. The bathrooms were awful, filthy, with no paper towels, spiders everywhere. Quiet hours are at 11:00 p.m., but not observed. Party in the campground lasted until 2 or 3:00 a.m. Dogs not leashed. Takes only cash or checks. Trash dumpster was a distance away and FULL. The playground was quite nice. I think owner is trying to fix things up, but he has a long way to go. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Enjoyed the convenience of being near Red Wing and the Mississippi. Located adjoining the casino. Campground was well maintained. Staff was cordial. We will return. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a clean, well maintained rv park. It is mainly a park for the casino visitors. As the previous reviews say, it is just a parking lot. It is mostly paved with strips of gravel in the middle of each site. Most rver's can't decide where to park on the site since it is an unusual arrangement with no guide lines. We centered our motorhome over the unpaved part of the site. The park itself is level, but it will depend on where you park in regard to the pavement and the gravel how easy it is to get your rv level. Grass and trees are on two sides of the park, but not on the sites. Pros included being big rig friendly and having pull thru sites. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Your basic casino parking lot camping. Not a camping experience but more of either a casino experience or jump off spot for local attractions. Wifi OK. Shuttle runs back and forth to casino and marina. Dinner cruise on the river was great and live entertainment in the casino very nice. Close enough to Mall of America and other attractions. I would stay again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
