Lake Louise Campground

Minnesota is known for the stunningly beautiful shores of Lake Superior, and the innumerable small lakes just outside Minneapolis, but one area that doesn’t get a whole lot of attention is its southern third. Down along its border with Iowa is a completely different side of the state. In the region known as the “Driftless Plains,” you’ll find deep valleys cut by the Mississippi River and angular hills that were passed over by the glaciers that smoothed out the rest of the state. It’s a place of unique beauty, and one of the best places to go camping with an RV is Lake Louise State Park.

The park spans over 1,000 acres, encompassing vast expanses of grassland in addition to the 25-acre human-made lake. When you choose a campsite at Lake Louise Campground, you’ll have access to electrical hookups, hot showers, flush toilets, and a dump station. As would be expected from such a large state park, there’s also a wonderful network of hiking and biking trails, a swimming beach, and a ramp for launching your boat into Lake Louise.

One of the best parts about RV camping at Lake Louise Campground, though, is its accessibility. Highway 56 runs along the park’s southern border, and Interstate 90 is only half an hour’s drive away. If you need a good day trip, Rochester is about half an hour's drive away, and La Crosse is 90 minutes' drive from the campground. No matter what you plan to do during your Lake Louise Campground camping trip, it’s almost sure to be close by.
