Very well maintained park. Beautiful spacious wooded sites.

@MarvinH7707066 · Camped on Oct 6, 2024 at Campsite #9

What a truly beautiful campground! It is very spacious and the sites seem private because of that.

@jeraldhD137D1F · Camped on Sep 27, 2024 at Campsite #3

Beautiful fall weather and almost no mosquitoes. Have always liked staying there in the fall

@ChristineK9918 · Camped on Sep 20, 2024 at Campsite #6

Really enjoy this campground! Easy to fish with or without a boat. Large clean sites that make it a nice relaxing place to enjoy time outdoors. Kids love the playground area too.

@KevinW7927630 · Camped on Sep 19, 2024 at Campsite #14

Beautiful place to camp. Great facility

@JeffM0E8BF361E · Camped on Sep 16, 2024 at Campsite #29

Beautiful campground. All campsites were very large, so you weren't staring into your neighbor's camper. Showers and bathrooms very clean. Fish cleaning house was SUPER clean and had grinder/disposals so no smell and no flies. We highly recommend this campground.

@MarkO1849333 · Camped on Sep 10, 2024 at Campsite #37

Very nice campground. Sites were clean and well layed out - not overly crowded. All facilities were clean and well maintained. Good hosts and well tended facility.

@KennethR295800 · Camped on Sep 4, 2024 at Campsite #22

Beach Lake is very serene place and its one of the few.gov parks that actually has a few full hook ups. The care of the bathrooms bathhouse and Fishhouse were outstanding. The Camp hosts were always available and did a great job.

@ErnestoF975752 · Camped on Sep 3, 2024 at Campsite #29

Went to fish and relax sites are large and restrooms clean all amenities worked great

@LeahRF7D4F9EEC · Camped on Aug 31, 2024 at Campsite #78

Very close to the highway, but very serene anyway. It was lovely to be surrounded by so many trees and the lake is beautiful. Excellent experience.

@JohnH2789214 · Camped on Aug 23, 2024 at Campsite #41

Very pleasant experience facilitaties are very nice and the park is very clean and tidy

@ThomasB3452376 · Camped on Aug 17, 2024 at Campsite #65

It started when I arrived. A camper was parked on the site I had paid for. I went to the office and it took a couple of hours for the people to return after the attenant called her and urged her to return and move off the site. The camper should have known she was in violation of the rules and of course the attedant knew. You should make a decision to remove tents, campers and the likes from the sites to free the site up for paying customers.

@JasonS8132232 · Camped on Aug 16, 2024 at Campsite #50

Nice clean quiet campground!

@RandyD3622500 · Camped on Jul 29, 2024 at Campsite #10

We enjoyed our recent stay at the Leech Lake Rec area. The sites are very big, everything was clean and immaculately maintained. The volunteers and staff there were friendly and welcoming. This campground is just the way it should be.

@JosephG1100021 · Camped on Jul 27, 2024 at Campsite #25

A nice campground, well spaced sites. Also a laundry which was free - really appreciate that. !!

@SusanR8932053 · Camped on Jul 26, 2024 at Campsite #58

Nice site. Room for 2 Ice Castles, screen tent and smaller tent. Close to rest rooms. Would probably use this site again

@Danak5362638 · Camped on Jul 24, 2024 at Campsite #29

Very clean and so quiet also. The fishing was not very good but better than a day at work

@ChrisM9524349 · Camped on Jul 23, 2024 at Campsite #6

This park is decent. The spots are large and shaded, which is nice. The playground is also updated and nice. My kids loved that. However, the bathrooms massively need updating. There is about an inch gap between the doors and the walls allowing anyone to look in and see you changing/naked, the showers heads spray everywhere rather than just a straight stream down, and only one of the showers in the women's bathrooms gets warm. The others get luke warm at best. They also do not do anything about spraying for bugs/mosquitoes. There are very few parks that we have been to that don't do some type of preventative. The mosquitoes were horrible. It made it pretty unbearable to be outside. We will not be returning to this park. Mosquitoes aside, I prefer warm showers and more privacy when using the showers especially with two young children.

@ChrisH3497025 · Camped on Jul 19, 2024 at Campsite #61

Campground is immaculate and very quiet. We went up to go fishing and enjoy the north countryside.Site 61 was nice and remote and very quiet. Everyone was respectful and polite.Site access for a large camper could be questionable if you have over 40 feet.I would stay again in a heartbeat

@LindaH1671742 · Camped on Jul 17, 2024 at Campsite #70

Nice park with a lot of trees and grass. Easy access to the RV Park. Large, level sites. Electric & water only. The mosquitoes in this park were unbearable! I thought they were going to carry us away at one point! All kidding aside the bugs were terrible. Some campers were fogging their areas but I dont know if it helped. Take bug repellent if you decide to stay there.

@DonaldA5268664 · Camped on Jul 16, 2024 at Campsite #33

Great day well maintained.

@CindyM6464978 · Camped on Jul 11, 2024 at Campsite #17

lovely campsites, great bathrooms/showers, beautiful place to watch sunsets!

@JeanM7647794 · Camped on Jul 10, 2024 at Campsite #35

We only stayed one night as we were on our way home. The site was nice. The pit toilet clean and not smelly. The mosquitoes were killer!

@GreggH3813937 · Camped on Jul 8, 2024 at Campsite #28

We had a great time once again at Leech Lake. The fishing was not to good, but our company and the campground facilities were great!

@MatthewH260473 · Camped on Jun 28, 2024 at Campsite #67

Campground Note: This is a nicely kept and quite campground. The sites are well spaced and large. Our only complaint was the street lights along the pathway are bight and could ruin some of the sites. Not a ton for hiking trails but decent road access for biking. The central bathhouse was really nice and clean. Campsite Note: The driveway was fairly level. Plenty of space for ground tents. Short walk to water and vaulted toilet. Some light pollution in the driveway but not much around the firepit. Note to readers: We stayed in a rooftop tent during our stay. Our family prefers insolated backcountry sites without any amenities, so our comfort level may be different then yours.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
