Akeley City Campground

3 ReviewsAdd Review

ATV riders and longer-term RV campers frequent this municipal campground on the shores of a Minnesota lake. The facility accommodates RVs up to 40 feet with 50-amp electric hookups at waterfront sites, while tent campers may find the atmosphere less suited to their needs. A dock extends into the lake for fishing access, and a small beach area provides water entry for boats.

The campground includes standard amenities like restrooms, showers, and a dump station, plus features like a playground and picnic shelter. Most sites offer lake views, and campers can explore additional options at Paul Bunyan State Forest Dispersed for a different camping experience. The season runs from mid-May through mid-September, with reservations available for those planning ahead.

Many campers appreciated the lakefront sites with full hookups and comprehensive amenities including dock access. Several reviews noted excellent hosts and clean facilities, though one mentioned it's better suited for RVs than tents.

WOW what a find

The owners, Kathy and her husband, are wonderful hosts. The campground is extremely clean, well organized and relaxing. 50A full hookups at most sites, all are on the water. One dock for two or three campsites. Beautiful clean lake. Can't ask for more for only $55- a night.

Not really for tent camping

This campground offers tent camping and RV camping, but really appears to be more for campers and RVs than tents. It's a little out of the way, and isn't terribly comfortable, although it does offer all the things you need to camp. There is a shower house, bathroom, playground and little beach. There are hookups and lake views. So it's not a bad spot, but appears to be more suited to those that are RV camping. There were a lot of 4 wheelers and ATVs. It also appeared as if most campers were there for more "longer term" than a simple overnight.

There was/were a picnic shelter, vending machine, fire rings, electric hookups etc. A dock at the beach allowed for fishing etc.

If you need an RV camp, this might be right up your alley, but as far as tent camping (and that is what I like to do), I wouldn't recommend it.
