Winnie Dam is a favorite go-to CG for us. Sites are roomy with plenty of drive for vehicles / boats. CLOSE to many choices of different lakes / rivers. The Mississippi river kayak / canoe trip from the campground dam to Highway 2 is some of the best we've experienced in Minnesota, recommended !

The campground was so quiet and well kept. Decent showers and bathrooms. Awesome diversity of trees, plants and wildlife. It’s near a good restaurant and trading post, which has most things a family needs, in case you forgot something. Lake Winnie is massive and very clear water, which made it fun to pull a tube from our kids’ boat. Felt like a true north Minnesota experience!
