Camden State Park

The Camden State Park campground, located along the serene Redwood River in southwestern Minnesota, offers a unique balance of natural charm, recreational diversity, and historical significance. Its striking landscape features wooded river valleys, rolling prairies, and forested hills, creating a tranquil environment ideal for both relaxation and exploration. With its spring-fed swimming pond, extensive trail networks, and well-equipped camping facilities, this destination caters to a wide range of outdoor enthusiasts.

The campground boasts 80 sites spread across two main loops. The Lower Loop, situated near the Redwood River, provides easy access to a swimming pond and key recreational facilities. Many of these sites offer electric hookups and are surrounded by significant tree cover, enhancing privacy and shade. The Upper Loop, located farther from the river, features newer facilities and enjoys fewer mosquitoes, often making it a preferred spot during peak summer months. Both areas are complemented by modern amenities, including flush toilets, seasonal hot showers, and picnic shelters. For equestrian enthusiasts, a separate horse camp with corrals and tie-ups is available, along with approximately 10 miles of horse trails.
