Pokegama Dam Campground

This is a small COE campground that we absolutely fell in love with! The sites are spacious, all of them! We were right on the river. Sites are electric only, potable water available at dump station. They also offer recycling bins.
The grounds are maintained and clean, bathrooms are immaculate. We will definitely be going back for a longer stay!

This is one of our favorite campgrounds. It overlooks the Mississippi River, with lots of large trees and roomy sites. There are a couple of fishing docks, a nice playground, and showers. Sites are electric only, with water and dump station available. There is a train track nearby but trains are infrequent. Nearby highway is muffled by trees and has not been an issue for us. This is a good place to spot bald eagles and wake up to the call of the loon! A note for pet owners - we were warned this year that there are wolves in the area - keep your pet on a leash.

As noted previously, the campground has some pretty spots along the Mississippi but the first time a Frieghtliner train sounds like it is coming through your campsite, it's not great. My visit started off with a picnic table covered with sand - mot sure who checked site last.

Power is strong and there is room for some big rigs. There are two showers way down by the entrance but no washrooms. It's an ok spot for a day or two - especially if you get the pass discount.

Google directions had it on the other side of road.

This COE Recreational Area is off Minnesota's main E/W highway, Route #2 (only negative) a few miles west of Grand Rapids. A beautiful day park just below the dam on the River and connected to the RV park with a beautiful setting. Well spaced sites are staggered so there's lots of privacy and all have River views. 30 and 50 amp electric with dump station and water available.

This place is a winner and it has room for big rigs. From the looks of tags on the site posts, most people here use it as a destination or decide to stay longer once here.

The highway is noisey, but most of us are use to that and accept it if there is a view and first class campsites. You get that here.
