Dusty frontage road, interstate noise, small spaces. Great staff, quiet camp. Great for business travel both long term and overnights. Definitely will use whenever working in the area.

Dump station could use some work. Campground was clean. They are doing some upgrades. Very nice and easy to get to.

Located conveniently in Grand Forks. The rv sites were level and very long. The only drawback was driving on the dusty gravel road to get here.

We left after 30 mins and they wouldn’t refund us. Glad they made a quick $62. We pulled into our spot, checked out the showers and laundry and couldn’t leave fast enough. Uffda. Terrible representation of Grand Forks.

Pretty rugged. No pavement, just dirt & some thin grass. Rutted drive marks from rain soaked ground.

This campground is the armpit of all campgrounds. We’ve been camping for more than 50 years and this is by far the worst. Hasn’t been maintained since it was a KOA. Trees need trimming really bad. A motor home got tangled up in low hang branches & had a difficult time getting out of it. We got scrapped on our roof by a branch that severely scratched the skylight over our shower. I think farming is their mainstay and this is just for fun? Plus it’s on a dirt road that covers everything in dust. There is a beautiful recreational area right in East Grand Forks, MN with easy access off of highway 2 that I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to stay in the area. You can walk to downtown from camp. DON’T GO TO GF Campground - you’ll be sorry. I also suspect there were some semi permanent tenants who are white supremists staying there who harassed a black family while we were there. This place is so bad we cut out a day earlier and forfeited our rent.

Lovely campground. Friendly staff. Lots of grass. Site was level. Nice trees. Convenient location. Wifi was pretty good. We were there August 2024

We've stayed here twice. Surrounded by beautiful farm fields, down a gravel road that is treated for dust control along the perimeter. Spacious laundry in the office building during business hours with free library offerings. Carla is a gracious host and keeps the showers and restrooms immaculate. Quiet, clean, peaceful, all around a great place to stay. Thumbs up 👍.

We stayed here for the month of October while working the beet harvest, and while it wasn't the worst place I've stayed, it was far from the best. The entire month I was there there was never any soap in the bathroom, at different times there was a band-aid on the floor, and a beer can on the wall of the showers for almost a week each indicating they don't get cleaned very regularly. It's pretty dusty when it's dry and very muddy if it has rained. Also, everything just seems old and not cared about. And the highway right outside your camper is loud!

Nice place but they could take better care of the muddy drive thru's. They have been there long enough!
