Whitewater Campground

Not far from the incredible Mississippi River, Whitewater State Park features mesmerizing bluffs alongside the Whitewater River. The rustic, state-run campground at Whitewater State Park is a two hours' drive south of the state’s largest city, Minneapolis, and just a few miles north of Interstate 90, which connects La Crosse and Rochester.

This easy-to-find and accessible campground is a marvelous place to bring your Rochester RV rental, with over 100 campsites with 30/ 50 amp electric hookups. The heavily wooded area affords privacy and peace to its occupants, with vault toilets, modern restrooms, warm showers, and dump stations for motorhome rentals. Tent camping is also possible at this year-round wilderness retreat by the Whitewater River. Some campsites at Whitewater Campground are without electric connections, though, every site is equipped with a picnic table and a fire ring for toasty campfires at night.

In addition to its deluxe camping spaces, there is a lot to do when you go camping at Whitewater State Park. Explore the woods that line either side of the river, go for a pleasant hike, go for a swim, kayak around in the river, observe the local wildlife, or try to catch a fish to cook over a campfire. Knowledgeable park rangers working at the park frequently give nature demonstrations to visitors to teach them about the environment of Whitewater Campground and its surrounding areas.
