Guests commonly noted this hidden gem offers great value at $15/night for full hookups with 50-amp service in a shaded, well-maintained setting. The small park has only 4 RV spots so advance reservations are essential, and mosquitoes can be problematic during certain seasons.

Nice little community park

Lots of shade. Only 4 spots here with FHUs. It now costs $15 a night. You pay at the city office which is across from the post office on Main Street. The envelopes are right outside. Fill out, add cash or check and drop in slot. They use the $ to pump out the sewage holding tank. Please be courteous and keep our little community parks going.

Bathrooms are open and there is room for tent campers as well. Playground for the kids.

Quiet camping near the Red River

This is a small but well kept and woodsy community park near the small town of Hendrum, MN. Though established primarily as a town park and gathering place, there is an area for camping, and it can accomodate RV's as well as tents. If you are visiting the area, especially if interested in recreation on the nearby Red River, this is a quiet, relaxing, and pleasant place to be. The public boat access for the river is just a short way to the west of the park. Great place if you want to be off the beaten path!

Wow- this gem was discovered

Talk about a nice hideaway! We found this site Googling free campsites. It is not free it is $15 a night with full hookups! 50amps! My wife and I were so happy to find this place tucked away in the town of Hendrum, MN.

I only took away a star since the facilities are closed and the mosquitos are vicious! There is only room for about 3-4 campers so call in advance for a spot! It is well worth it!
