![]() ![]() To get to the lake, it’s about a 5-minute boat ride through a winding channel. The campground is adjacent to a public launch, and it provides a sheltered canal where you can moor your boat at no charge during your stay. The bathrooms and showers are clean, and the camp hosts, who have been working here for 19 years, are wonderful and keep the grounds in great condition. Each has a fire pit and you’re surrounded by trees everywhere. Most of the sites are large with dedicated gravel areas for tents, screen shelters and lawn chairs. #Leech lake camping fullThere are only a few full hook up sites and the rest are mostly electric only. This is a great campground near Leech Lake! It is a Recreation Area run by the Army Corps of Engineers, so it’s a bit more rustic than other options in the area. The nearest amenities are in Longville about 20 minutes away. #Leech lake camping plusThere are short trails within the park plus plenty of areas to walk the dogs. There’s a COE associated marina near the public boat ramp where you can rent boats plus purchase bait and firewood. This COE is one of the most modern and well-kept CGs we’ve stayed in. You cannot swim, fish, or hang out between channel buoys plus there’s a dam so this COE is not a good area for kayaking. There’s a mile-and-a-half channel that runs from the boat launch to the main lake where the big-engined fishing boats transit back and forth. In addition, the CG has its own boat launch and there is shore mooring for your boat. Our site bumped up to the fence that separates the CG from the boat launch and parking area so we did get some noise. This CG is very popular with fishermen with their boats as there is a public boat launch adjacent to the CG. The number of mature trees in this CG would make satellite iffy. We got 2 bars on both Verizon and T-Mobile. There was a sign limiting the days of use during our September 2-week stay due to only having 1 dryer, but we noticed someone was doing their laundry on a 'closed' day. There is a laundry room in the shower house building with 2 washers and 2 dryers but only 1 dryer was working. The shower houses/restrooms were open and very clean. We also noticed that there were not many water spigots in the CG and so suggest getting your potable water at the dump station at the back of the CG upon arrival. There are also many great 50/30 AMP electric-only sites in this CG. There is a handful (5) of reservable FHU sites (50/30/20 AMP) as camp hosts are in the others. As stated on the info board, a camp host came by as we were setting up, and checked us in. ![]() We stayed here two years ago and got online to reserve this great site as soon as the reservation window opened (6 months prior). There is not a check-in office/gate shack. We arrived with no issues and went straight to back-in site 12 with FHUs. Our RV GPS and Google Maps took us right to the gate of this campground (CG) and it was easy to find. ![]()
