Knife River Campground

Knife River Campground is a small, family-friendly site on Scenic 61 within easy walking distance of the lake, beach and marina. Guests consistently praise the friendly, knowledgeable proprietor and well-kept, clean facilities, including tidy restrooms. Rates are affordable, and the park tends to cater well to tenters and smaller camper vans. Practical tradeoffs: many sites are tightly spaced, so privacy is limited, and the campground sits alongside a busy road and nearby railroad tracks, which can produce daytime and occasional nighttime noise. Overall, a convenient, clean option if you prioritize location and value over seclusion.
