The campground has a lot of nice camping spots. They are large and tree-filled. Fishing access is a walkable distance from all sites. Showers are large and well-maintained.
I would definitely camp here again.

It was a lot smaller than other COE campgrounds we've been to. Kept up nicely. A little annoying the garbage collection at 7 a.m. but otherwise quiet. Nice host and hostess. We kayaked on the Mississippi River and it was wonderful. Very clear water, watched the fish swimming underneath us. Husband caught a nice big walleye in Lake Winnibigoshish but it was in the slot so had to go back in :( Could use a bigger sign at the entrance.

We stayed for 4 nights at Winnie Dam. The sites were spacious and clean, not to mention that the park itself was beautiful. The bathrooms and shower house were both kept very clean. The Dam and playground area were a short walk from the campsites. The play area kept my 3 year old busy! My husband and I kept catching ourselves saying "Next time we are here...". I didn't want to leave. It was beautiful, peaceful and relaxing.
