Long Lake Campsite & RV

Would have liked to check out the campground. Unfortunately they only have a Facebook page that needs a facebook account to see. Skipped and found another campground with a real, publicly accessible website.

Host was a kind and accommodating gentleman. Only a few spots available for short term camping that were a few feet from each other. The “permanent” residents (visit mostly on the weekends) were kind and welcoming. We were there during the week so there was hardly anyone there and the Wifi was amazing. Bathrooms had showers and there was even a little store to buy a few items. Lake was pretty and there was a dock to launch your kayak. Only wish dogs could join in the fun!

We felt the best part was the beach. Sandy and not weedy in the swim area. The playground park was okay but we wished it had more things for the kids. The camping spots are close together and narrow but very long making parking easy. The public showers/bathrooms weren’t clean and the lady at the desk wasn’t pleasant at check in. The campground is in a great location and easy to access from highway 10. Overall we had a good time and spent a lot of our time at the beach.

Love this place. Plenty of shade, and a very nice sandy beach on a beautiful, swimmable lake with great bass fishing. Gretchen, Calvin and the Wold family have been operating this campground since 1972, and they take great pride in providing a great experience for campers. Lots are mostly seasonal but there are available spaces for weekenders, too. Lots that are close to the lake do NOT have sewer service, but they pump out those trailers weekly or as needed. Friendly, not stuffy or pretentious. Great place to unwind, relax, and to enjoy lake living.

Great location, lovely beach. A wonderful option if you want to be in Detroit Lakes with easy access to the fun things to do in town, without being in the heart of loud, crazy tourist central. This place is 45 some years old and it shows. It's well loved, the seasonal site owners passionately love this place and are all like a giant family. It could use some updates, especially the bathrooms. The streets are pretty narrow and should be made one-ways. The lady who owns the place comes across as pretty grumpy and rude, but she's just old. The son who helps out is very helpful. They're obviously doing fine as they're booked nearly every weekend, but I'd happily pay a bit more for cleaner showers.
