Like a previous reviewer, we were a little surprised at the fact that those of us from out of area, who have to reserve to make sure we have a place to sleep, are punished by having to pay a non-refundable "reservation fee" of $7, increasing the price for a site by a little over 24% (from 29 to 36 - that's resort-level pricing!!! I used the inflated number as the nightly rate, since most traveling RVers will most likely want to reserve) Then there are the really grumpy "camp hosts." Since we had a reservation and a campground layout from the Internet, as well as due to the fact that the parking area in front of the registration booth is rather small (at best one 35+ foot RV fist there; and one at a time), we proceeded directly to our site. Once the 'host' was done with the people that blocked the parking area for us, he came over in his golf cart and proceeded to lecture us on how we did not stop to register before proceeding to the site. After setting up, we went to the registration office, and realized just WHY they 'needed' us to stop by: Their "rules" page is one whole page of legal size paper long! Pretty ridiculous rules, overall, but the most asinine one was that, if you didn't check out by the check out time, they want to charge you another day, AND MAKE YOU LEAVE - yeah right... Regarding the site - number 12... While even, it was FAR from level, rising hard towards the back. In fact, the levelers in our coach were not able to completely level the coach (front to back). Almost, but not quite. Finally, we were due to leave the next day. Check out time is noon, and we were relaxing next to the RV in the grass around 11:10 - 11:15, when the same old grump came by on his golf cart again, "reminding" us that we were leaving... AT NOON... We just packed up then and got the heck out of there. We will most definitely avoid this one in the future, unless there is absolutely no other option. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here in August while between houses. The staff were very helpful, professional, and friendly. The park has police patrol on a regular basis. The laundry room is well maintained and clean as is the entire park. They allow well behaved owners and their pets. The only negatives are not a lot of trees in the full hookups area, no Wi-Fi and a fair amount of aircraft noise-- even so, it's hard to believe that you're camped out in the city. The tent area is well forested. The MN Zoo is across Johhny Creek Ridge Road. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We have stayed here every year for the past 7 or 8 years. Very handy to things we needed in the Twin Cities. We do object to the $7 charge for making a reservation over the phone. Yes it would be alright if we were a NO SHOW, and they could make it non-refundable in that case----but when you reserve and SHOW UP --- it should be deducted from your campground fee's. Sewer connections are set so far back, they almost require an extra piece of sewer hose. It is obvious that this campground was not designed by experienced campers. The campground hosts need to take a course on: "How to win friends and influence people" or something of that nature ---they all take their jobs way to serious and their lousy personalities show it. Yes we will return, but the next time -- we will just show up un-announced and take our chances. They certainly weren't very busy. Maybe we will try the casino out at Prior Lake. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The only good thing about this campground is location. It is close enough to Minneapolis to use as a base for touring. This park is very big rig friendly. There are three sections of camping. There are two sections for smaller rigs and tents with gravel roads and sites. These spots are rustic. The big rig section is all paved. The spots are pretty close together. Maybe 12' apart. You really felt like you could reach out and touch your neighbor. The pads are gravel and very narrow. You can not put any carpet on the grass. There is only about 1 foot from the edge of your rig to the edge of the pad/grass. No part of your rig may hang over the pad onto the grass area, this includes slides and rear hitches. Bathroom facilities were equipped with numerous stalls, but the showers only had a curtain. I guess they think that big rig people don't use the public facilities. A locking door would be better. Laundry facility was clean. Many camp hosts. I think we counted 5 rigs. Some hosts were very nice, but others needed to just go home. They were not friendly at all - which I think is a must for a host. We stopped at the office twice for directions to a local destination and were given no help. The hosts didn't have a clue about the area. The park rangers were very nice and loved their jobs. This park really needs internet. We would stay here again, but only for a short visit. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very nice regional park. When we called for reservations the host said they had one available because the particular site was "not that good". Site was 2 down from the office, very clean, and more than adequate. We were very satisfied with it. We would recommend this to others and we would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Nice park close to Mall of America and other area attractions. There was some jet noise beginning about 7AM from airplanes landing or taking off from the airport, otherwise quiet. The park is very well maintained and managed by work campers who know something about RV'ing. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice sites. Paved roads, a bit narrow. Not much shade could be found in our area. Bundled wood was outrageously priced! $6 for a bundle! They required it purchased from them only. They also required 2 night minimum for the weekend stay. Our site was located by the office and there was a lot of vehicle traffic all day long by the office. There was nothing to do right at the campground. The rest of the park and fishing spots and beach area are located a driving distance away. Showers and bathrooms were impressively clean. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

What a beautiful spot and close to everything! The campground has lots of great character with some beautiful tent spots. While walking the dog, we did have to witness some youngsters in fond embrace in their car, but heck we were young once, too. We absolutely loved this place and the fact that it was within minutes of downtown Minneapolis, the airport, Mall of America, etc...was icing on the cake. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Beautiful and family oriented with many things to do. We camped here in a Truck Camper.

Very nice and well maintained campground. The campround is divided into 3 campgrounds. The "West Loop" has 58 full hook-ups (water/elect/sewer) sites, with level, gravel pads. Grounds are well groomed, with small trees, very little shade. There is a small pond nearby and you see a lot of Canadian geese and ducks. This loop is near a well traveled road and those campsites on the west side of the loop will hear road noise. The "North Loop" has 10 wooded or natural sites, lots or shade, no hook-ups, great for tenting. The "East Loop" has 13 wooded or natural sites, shaded, electric only. Of the 3 "loops", we liked the East loop the best however to camp in the East Loop the rule is your RV/camper has to be 24 ft or less in length. There is also a playround in the East Loop. Restrooms all are excellent! Many trails for both hiking and mountain biking. I rated this park an 8 only because you do hear alot of plane noise as the airport is not too far away. If not for that I would rate this campground a 10. Also as stated by another poster before, campground is near alot of attractions, MN Zoo, Mall of America and cities Minneapolis and St. Paul. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is an urban park located just south of St. Paul. Perameter of the park is wooded but most sites are in the open. Paved roads with large gravel sites. Park is very well maintained. Large grassy areas behind and between rigs. No recreation in campground, but lots to do very closeby including Zoo, State Capitol and, Mall of America. We camped here in a camper.
