Location & Surroundings
Located in the suburban community of Maple Grove, the park is positioned just northwest of the Minneapolis-Saint Paul metropolitan area. The surrounding area features a blend of residential comfort and vast natural spaces. One of the primary benefits of this location is the proximity to the Elm Creek Park Reserve, which offers nearly 5,000 acres of trails and outdoor recreation. It feels remarkably secluded despite being just a short drive from major interstate highways and essential urban conveniences.

- Dedicated KampK9 fenced dog park
- On-site general store and laundry facilities
These well-maintained facilities ensure that all your practical needs are met during your stay.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
The campground serves as an excellent jumping-off point for regional exploration. A short drive takes you to the famous Mall of America, while sports fans and foodies can easily reach downtown Minneapolis for professional games and diverse dining. Locally, the Shoppes at Arbor Lakes provide high-end retail and dining options. Nature enthusiasts should not miss the opportunity to explore the nearby Mississippi River, which offers scenic vistas and boating opportunities just a short trip from the campground gates.
Who This Park Is Best For
This KOA is ideal for families who want a resort-style experience with plenty of activities to keep children engaged throughout the day.

Staff is super friendly and seems to get along well. Here for personal reasons and needed to change reservation twice but they kept me in the same spot. Super dog friendly - the play pen is a bit small for my dogs but just walking around the loop of the campgrounds is a good walk.

KOA parked right on a noisy highway. That’s by design I think. They always have a little extra something. This one has putt putt golf, a good pool, a dated but fun game room. The laundry facilities were fine. I was gonna complain about the terrible pot holes in the road but as soon as they could after the rain stopped they got right on it and patched dozens of holes. Great job. I stayed 10 days and had a decent time.

The bathrooms were very clean, the overall campground was clean and tidy. The roads being gravel have lots of potholes. They were going around shoveling gravel into the low spots but without investing in grading with a blade of some sort filling in those holes are pointless. The water smells of rust and really low pressure. The staff were very friendly and professional. The deck around the pool needs some serious help. All of the area is uneven and kinda throws off someone who is walking around the pool area. There are really cheap chairs around the pool. Overall it was a ok place to stay for a short period of time.

This KOA Journey is pretty good overall. They could use grading at the entrance and some gravel would make a world of difference. When we reserved no space with full hookups was available. Many full hookup sites sat empty during our stay. We did not use the bathouse so no insight on that front. Easy access to restaurants and shopping from the campground.

This is my home away from home. I've stayed several times and they know my favorite spots in the woods. I've been working on book projects and live space and quiet. Other than the dogs that love to bark at each other, I find great peace here during the weekdays. I will give them a shout out when my book is published this year!

First time ever going to a KOA. This is absolutely perfect. We are so happy that we booked with them. We are looking forward to our next stay and many more. The property is beautiful and clean. I have been at other camp sites and the restroom and showers were nasty. I was not expecting this to be so clean. The customer service was amazing. We felt really welcomed.

Staff was friendly and location good, but it stops there. Our campsite was under inches of water the entire time we were there with huge swarms of mosquitos and mud ruts and pits everywhere. It was an absolute joke to think we paid good money and even extra for our kids for this place to be stuck inside the entire time. Everything was very dated and/or need of repair. This place needs a lot of work and gravel to repair the water/mud issues. Sorry, won't be back ever again.
Taking the SEAnic route
Stayed June 1-June 2, 2023 in our Class A 40ft (towing pickup for a total of 60 ft) on a 50amp electric/water site. Dumping station was easy to access when leaving. There are full service but we didn't feel it was necessary for one night. Very friendly staff and always nice to have someone escort you to your site on the best route when you've got a large rig. We detached but found we hadn't needed to. Pool was chilly but felt great during the heat wave (31C). Site was grassy and decent space between neighbours, although they were set up so each unit alternated which way they faced so you didn't have privacy from your neighbour. All around a good stay for the night.
