Island Campground & Marina

Freedom Island Campground and Marina sits between the Mississippi River and Mud Lake, offering strong boating access, river views and easy proximity to downtown Red Wing and a nearby bar. Many reviewers praise the onsite managers for helpfulness and note well‑maintained, clean bathhouses and RV hookups. Tradeoffs include traffic and train noise from the bridge and nearby rail, occasional strong currents at the marina, insect issues (mayflies/mosquitoes), and limited privacy because many sites are seasonal or closely spaced. Overall it suits boaters and campers seeking activity and river access, but quieter or more secluded visitors may prefer elsewhere.
