Wylie Park Campground & Storybook Land

The main campground itself at Wylie Park is rather attractive with mature trees and reasonable site spacing (there's a secondary North Campground that's newer with less mature vegetation). Pricing is a little high at $36+/night for FHU, but the reason folks come here is for the park's other amenities including Storybook Land, Wylie Lake, go-carts, bumper boats, mini-golf, etc. This place is a kids' paradise.

Which leads to the situation on weekends: this place is positively overrun with kids. Kids crying, kids riding their bikes through your campsite (and ill-informed adults, too). The geese in the waterfowl pond adjacent to the campground made quite the racket, too, but that didn't bother us. The kids did. Fine if that's your thing, but to a couple of 50-somethings without kids anymore, this was annoying.

Midweek, though, the place was terrific, maybe 50% occupied. Staff was friendly and welcoming.

We stopped here on our way to Voyageurs National Park. It was a great stop and the grounds are well cared for. The city of Aberdeen has everything that you need to restock. We played miniature golf within the park (it has a lot to offer besides a campground) and we loved it. The mosquitoes were pretty bad but it's the upper midwest in the summer :).

I visited the local Ford dealership for an oil change and they were pleasant and efficient. All in all, a great stop.

We had been here before in the summertime for a family reunion and it was hoppin. There is plenty for kids to do with the storybook park and regular park stuff around. There is free wifi, too, though I am not sure how much I should comment on it since we are the only ones in the park on this November 2nd. There are picnic tables and fire rings at each site (it appears). The utilities are at the back of the sites, which are easily enough backed into. There also seem to be some pull-through sites. I am impressed they are open this late in the year (and thankful). We arrived at 5:30, we called ahead and they told us which sites were open. There is a box with the rates and envelopes for payment. Would definitely stay here again. Very clean with reasonable laundry room in office building (currently 2.25 for wash,1.25 for dry).

This is a wonderful city park especially for families with small children. It is co-located with Storybook Land and the Land of Oz. Follow the yellow brick road as it were. Aberdeen is the home of Frank Baum who wrote the Wizard of Oz.

RV Park has sites that are fairly close together and was packed when I visited on a weekend. Rates are $34.72 for E/W and $35.81 if you want FHU. They also have tent sites and cabins.

The southwest section sites for the most part are shaded with lots of trees in the overall park. Sat reception would be challenging. The northwest sites which are newer have small trees but otherwise no shade.
