Summary
AI generated
Leech Lake Rec Area is a well-maintained campground with spacious, clean sites and excellent facilities, including a boat channel and electric hookups. Campers appreciate the beautiful surroundings, proximity to hiking trails, and friendly staff, making it a popular spot for gatherings with friends. While some reviewers noted issues with noise and the camp host's demeanor, the overall experience remains positive, highlighting the campground's peaceful atmosphere and cleanliness.
I'm so impressed with this COE park! Why can't all COE parks be this great! The bathroom/shower house was beautiful and cleaned every day! Mats on the floor of the showers so no slipping! Dryers up high on the walls to dry your hair. A laundry room with 2 of each and FREE! A large in floor washing tub for muddy things. Rakes and dog pick up tools for the taking to borrow and return. Now for the playground; beautiful playground, volleyball court, horseshoes and basketball hoops and best of all the equipment room with all the items needed to play the games! A beautiful shelter for picnics. Boats can be left in the water near your campsite! Our campsite was level, shaded and while I didn't care for the location it fit our RV and was easy in and out! Dump station also very easy in and out. Please COE try and update some of the other campgrounds to try and come up in standards to match Leech Lake!
Super clean, spacious sites and wonderful amenities. I would go again. Only thing negative was people's small dogs bark at everyone who walk by their campers.

The entire campground was extremely well maintained. Some of the sites are kind of close to the neighboring sites but everything quieted down very well by 10 PM. There are some outhouse type buildings that had a lot of odor, but the main buildings with showers and toilets were in great condition. The fishing cleaning building is top drawer. Mosquitoes can be bad at low light periods if there isn't a breeze. Come prepared to fend them off.
Beautiful campground with very clean well designed showers. Camp host was very friendly and helpful. Kudos to all members of staff! There is a small "mart" just across steet from entrance for groceries & things.

We had an excellent stay over the long Fourth of July weekend. Our pad was quite level and wide enough for our camper and a bug tent. Quite a few people fit their camper, a boat, and a bug tent on their pad. All the spots seem to be well maintained and the facilties were clean. I noticed the caretakers going in to sweep and rake after people vacated. I was very impressed with the care! It is a quiet campground, too, which we appreciated. There is a volleyball area, playground, basketball court, and horseshoe pits. There weren't any trailheads nearby, but it seems like most people go here for the fishing. There is a decent sized marina area (I don't fish, so I don't know the lingo) by the water for lake access and boat trailer parking, plus a restroom and fish cleaning station by the marina area. That is where you can buy wood. There is a pile of wood with a drop box for payment by the place that rents boats. It was $7 a bundle when we were there and they even had a little wagon to borrow. If you want some peace and quiet, this is the place for you!

Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
