Rating: 2 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Tuck-A-Way Resort »We camped in the family camping area. We were their "test run" to see if they could fit three travel trailers in this tiny area. Obviously we didn't know this. The main area for campers appeared to be all seasonal rentals. For weekend camping, there were few options. We did not have a 50 amp hookup as promised. Between the three trailers there we constantly blew fuses with all of us having A/C running. We almost left immediately but the campers next to us encouraged us to stick together and tough this one out. Which is exactly what we did. Across from our site in the family camp area was a poorly capped septic sewer. The smell was unbearable, we never got used to it. Which means if we were at our site, we were inside with the windows closed. The owners were nice enough but they did complain which makes for an uncomfortable feeling. There were garbage bags piled three high all the way down to our sites along the owners garage. The pictures look nice on the site but it's not as nice when you get there. The bathrooms were OK but certainly nothing great. We will not return to this campground. - smores

Rating: 10 6 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: This place was perfect for my first night with my new travel trailer I had just picked up that morning. They owners were VERY helpful, even gave me two cute coffee cups and helped me set up since I was a newbie. I would come back to this place again and again and again. They gave a HUGE area to park I mean a meadow. Can't say enough about this place. - Miss C
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Pleasant Pines Resort »Very friendly staff, allowed us to leave our popup while we visited friends nearby the day of our checkout and we picked it up on the way home. Showers went from pleasant to scorching hot, then to freezing cold. There was a very neat lagoon that we camped right by, but the beach was not much. It was quiet, not a lot of campers, which was good as there was only one men and one women's restroom, and two shower stalls. There was a very clean port-a-biff available. Got to hear loons throughout the day and night. - shaker_77

Rating: 9 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: The park is well laid out and paved roads are narrow but accommodate large Motorhomes. The sites are spread out and leave plenty of room between campers. The sites only have electricity but the dump station is easy to get to and use. Most sites looked close to level but mine required some adjustments. Because of the trees, my satellite didn't work. The staff is very friendly and willing to help out. A gas/diesel/ convenience store is nearby, as well as a grocery store, restaraunt and other shops. - George Malloy
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Crosslake Campground »This is a great park, tons of room between sites. Right across the street from a small shopping district. Price was for the electric sites. Small swimming area on Crosslake, two boat ramps on the lake. This is a huge boating area. Paved roads in the campground with gravel sites. Nice to have a site large enough so you can have the awning out and still have a fire in the fire pit. I would have rated this a "10" but one loop is close to a busy road and there are several street lights that are not needed throughout the campground. Several lit up campsites. I would not have wanted to be in one of those sites. - tslarson

Rating: 7 9 8 10 10 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: First, here is my disclaimer I always include in my reviews. A) There is no such thing as a perfect RV Park/Resort/Campground, etc. You need to do your research and find the one that best meets your needs. So with that being said, here is my review. Getting registered was a little discombobulated. The owner told us a few days before that we had the pick of the lots. By the time we arrived the Camp Host told us they were all reserved. Fortunately, they found the perfect spot for us to stay in for the next 30 days. Two of the camp hosts were wonderful and friendly while the other 6 were more aloof. Yes, there are 8 camp hosts there because there is A LOT of work for them do so, such as cut grass for the campground and golf course; as well as, cleaning all the buildings, handling registrations, firewood, etc. The grounds were well manicured and they worked very hard. The main roads around the campground are dirt so it is dusty. We were located in the lower half of the campground. There is no WIFI down there so you have to go up to the office area for WIFI. There are two washers & two driers for laundry. They charge $4/laundry. Spot was level with green grass. Eventually all the new spots 32-49 will be seasonal. Spots 1-22 are seasonal & occupied. Pull thru spots 23-31 are for weekenders. My husband used the golf course often & really liked it. There is a daily golfing special for people at the campground. There is a maze & mini golf set up as well. We didn't used it but the mini golf looked well attended. They don't really have a "mail" system set up so you have to go to the P.O. & set up your own PO Box. We had a problem getting Amazon deliveries. I would say this place is geared towards adults. $200 electric deposit is steep. - JMCherry
We stayed at WildWedge a little over a month. This year they opened a new area & this is where we stayed. Site were roomy & we had views of their 9 hole golf course. The camp hosts were friendly & very helpful. This campground also has a mini golf course & a maze for kids. The location of the campground is convenient as there are variety of small towns within a 30 minute drive, which means there was usually some special event or activity happening every weekend. Of course, there are lots of lakes around. - Kelsidy
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Wildwedge Golf and RV Park »Upon arrival we found staff to be very accommodating and friendly. Sites are well maintained and larger then usual. We were in a wooded beautiful area but still got direct TV satellite. At the campground for fun was a miniature golf, a large wooden maze and a golf course. Super fun place for the family. We will definitely return!! - 2peasinapod

Rating: 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Fifty Lakes Campground »The sites are nice and large, each site has a picnic table and fire ring. The park is mostly heavily wooded. There is a nice clear stream and there are canoes and inner tubes available. The roads and pads are all gravel, watch out for the speed bumps. There is a clean heated swimming pool. There also is a camp store with reasonable prices, a game and recreation room. There is a nice patio with a fire ring overlooking the stream. The bathrooms and laundry were very clean. The Wi-Fi worked well at our site. The staff were friendly and made coffee for our group. The park was about 75% seasonal campers but that was not a problem. This park is located far enough away from the highway so that it was very quiet and peaceful. It was a very pleasant stay and we would return. - pawatt

Rating: 5 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We stayed four nights in our 40' motor home. There are some 50 amp sites but we chose to stay in a 30 amp site. We were unable to get satellite signal due to overhead trees, which provided very nice shade. Roads and sites are dirt/grass with lots of sand. It was a little tight getting into our site and we had to back out of it. Owners were quite helpful. Many other campgrounds in the vicinity do not allow dogs whatsoever, but they allowed dogs with considerate owners. Campground was fairly quiet on a busy weekend and other campers seemed seasonal and very respectful. Although we would not necessarily recommend for big rigs, we were fine and would probably stay again, due to its location near our relatives. - BigRigTravelerUSA
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Highview Campground & RV Park »Overall, a nice campground. Owners were friendly and escorted us to our site. Sites were grass, fairly level and with plenty of shade. There was a nice play gound area for the kids. Lake access was very nice and so was the swimming beach. The store was very limited so plan on getting groceries/supplies elsewhere. Roads were dirt and were muddy do to excessive June rain. Otherwise, we had a very good time at this cg. - foley5000

Rating: 2 5 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Lovely campground on Leech Lake. This is a Chippewa National Forest Campground. Sites are roomy and spacious. It is very shady. It is close to Walker, MN and the bicycle trails. The bathrooms were not cleaned regularly or well. The more important problem is very low voltage. We spoke with the Forest Service people and it is old wiring and at the "end of the line". Weekends were the worst. We would NOT stay here again for that reason. - ouachita princess
There are lots of trees in this campground, so not much sun gets through in the daytime and you won’t get reception on your satellite TV. The sites on the outside of the campground loops are large, but the inner loop sites are a bit cramped. Also, if there is a lot of rain, several of the sites on the outside loop become flooded. The campground is on Leech Lake and there are two mooring harbors for boats, so if you are staying several days, there is no need to take your boat out of the water every night. Our rate reflects our Senior Pass discount. - Bobbi1948
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Stony Point Campground »Great Forest Service Park on a point in Leech Lake. Very shady sites which help cut down on wind coming across the lake. Some sites have beach access and some are on water front. Small campground with a boat launch and has two small harbors where you can tie up your boat. The campground roads are paved and the perfect size for kids to ride bikes and enjoy themselves. The sites were well spaced and most of them were very private. - wildcat63

Rating: 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Walt's Hidden Acres »The price is the average over a 9 night stay. There is an up charge for weekend and holiday nights. The name of the park is accurate as this RV park is hidden and off the beaten path. Since there was road construction in the area, the owner of the park met us in town and we followed him to the RV park. We had to drive on a well packed, well graded dirt road a short distance. (Don't know if part of the construction was to pave the road in front of the park.) This is a difficult park to rate as it's still a work in progress. The park entry is a bit odd and wasn't thought through very well. The office is to the left as you drive up the hill. There are a few RV sites accessible from the road that leads to/by the office, but if you're not assigned one of those sites, there is no convenient place to turn around and the road is a dead end. Most of the RV sites are to the right as you enter the park, so it's best to park to the right as you enter and walk over to the office to check in. We were here for nine nights and it was obvious that the owners were still working to make the park a success. They are nice and helpful. The first bit of the entry road is asphalt but the interior roads are dirt/gravel. Sites are on gravel, but are not well compacted, and many are not very level. A few of the sites offer shade, but most do not. I believe all sites are full-hookup and are back-ins. Utilities are placed more to the back of the sites. We had to use 30 feet of sewer hose. The sewer connection in many of the sites is too high, so you have to "walk" the sewer hose in order to dump. There is a heated pool, but we didn't use it. There is a washer/dryer and was free to use at the time we were there. Although we didn't use the showers/bathrooms, they appeared new and clean. Verizon data and cell service worked well. There was no designated pet area, but there's plenty of space to walk pets. - Guinness
