Riverside Park Campgrounds

Clean enough for a few days stay. Good shade trees and river access.

Not big rig friendly - really tight turn around to get to sight.

We stayed at Riverside Park Campground in St. Peter on Saturday night while visiting my niece at Gustavus Adolphus College. Booking the reservation online was easy and we got a great spot for our 30ft motorhome right along the Minnesota River. The site has 30A & 20A power and worked great. It's not a huge campground, which is really nice and each site has a fire pit and picnic table. The best part is we were able to walk up to town (just a block away!) where there are plenty of restaurants, shopping, and a great taproom (Paddlefish Brewing Co). The local snowmobile trail club was hosting their 10th annual haunted hay ride, so we hopped on that and enjoyed a nice 30 minute guided tour through the woods. It was money well spent to support snowmobile trail maintenance. We'll definitely be back again and if you're looking for a camper or motorhome rental, check out Fractional Toys in the Twin Cities, where we picked up our RV for the weekend.

A bit of a hidden gem. St. Peter does a great job of maintaining and policing this campground. It is a very small campground literally in the river.

Beautiful little RV park nestled in the cottonwoods along the Minnesota River. Only 11 RV sites and no reservations. Sign up is in police station at entry. Only drawback is train horns every few hours.
