Whitewater Campground

In addition to Whitewater State Park, there are dozens of state parks and recreation areas nearby, and countless others in the rest of the state. Before you venture off to see some of Minnesota’s best parks, it's a great idea to spend some time at Whitewater State Park while you are camping there. Over 300,000 people visit the park annually, thanks to its magnificent limestone and dolomite bluffs lining the river. There are even a few dozen historic structures and buildings scattered throughout the park, erected by the Civilian Conservation Corps after The Great Depression. John A. Latsch State Park is easy to find when you're camping at Whitewater Campground. Along the legendary Mississippi River, the most distinctive features in this state park are Mount Hope, Mount Faith, and Mount Charity, three stunning bluffs overlooking the river. Climbing to the apex of Mount Charity is an ideal way to bask in panoramic views of the river valley, and camping out overnight in your RV rental is an option here too. Merrick State Park, on the Wisconsin side of the Mississippi River, has three separate campgrounds by the water, along with two boat ramps and a network of trails where you can hike, bike, snowshoe, or ski. Also on the banks of the Mississippi River, Great River Bluffs State Park has some impressive features of its own. Much like John A. Latsch State Park, there are epic bluffs rising high above the river, with sandstone and dolomite cliffs. Hiking and biking trails are marked out for the public to use, and the river is an obvious place to do some swimming, boating, or fishing. Camping out beneath the stars is possible if you feel like getting away for a night; don’t miss out on this fantastic park when you book an RV in Winona County.
