Cannon Falls Campground

Everyone knows Minnesota is all about the lakes – its motto is the “Land of Ten Thousand Lakes” after all. But until you’ve traveled through it, "ten thousand" is just a number, and it’s hard to believe there are really that many. Fortunately, you don’t need to go RV camping in the state’s rural north to find them; many are just outside its largest city, Minneapolis. Just south of the city, the Mississippi River splits into multiple channels and forms dozens of these small lakes that are perfect for watersports loving travelers.

One of the best places to base yourself for such an adventure is the Cannon Falls Campground. Less an hour's drive from south Minneapolis, Cannon Falls Campground makes for a comfortable spot to camp with an RV near Cannon Falls. The sites have full hookups or just water and electrical with 30/50 amp capacity. The Cannon Falls Campground is also one of the most pet-friendly campgrounds near Minneapolis and is the ideal place to stay with your four-legged companion.

The RV campground is set up for family fun, with lots of organized activities to participate in, like volleyball, foam parties, bean bag tosses, and games of horseshoes. There’s also a social hall with weekly Bingo games and live music. If you’re itching to get your morning swim in when you choose an RV rental near Cannon Falls Campground, there’s an excellent swimming pool on the premises, and it even has a small slide for the kids. There’s also a small game room with pinball machines, a merry-go-round, and classic arcade games.
