Nestled in the heart of northern Minnesota, Gordon Dam Park Landing offers RV travelers a genuine taste of authentic Northwoods camping. This public campground sits along the scenic waterways that define this region, providing an ideal base for those seeking peaceful outdoor adventures away from the hustle and bustle of busy tourist destinations.
The 33-site campground welcomes visitors looking to experience Minnesota's natural beauty firsthand. The setting is particularly appealing for water enthusiasts, as the park's location near the dam creates excellent opportunities for fishing, boating, and other aquatic activities. Whether you're an angler hoping to land walleye or northern pike, or simply want to spend peaceful mornings watching the water, the park's riverside position makes it a natural draw for water-loving travelers.
Gordon's location in Minnesota's lake country means you're surrounded by the kind of pristine natural environment that makes the state famous. The area is characterized by dense forests, clear waters, and abundant wildlife. Early risers often report seeing deer, eagles, and other native species in their natural habitat. The quieter pace of the area provides a restorative atmosphere that many RV travelers seek as an escape from their daily routines.
Beyond the immediate park grounds, the surrounding region offers plenty to explore. Small towns nearby provide basic services and local character, while the broader landscape invites hiking, wildlife observation, and nature photography. The changing seasons bring different appeals, from summer boating and fishing to fall colors that paint the landscape in vibrant hues.
This public campground attracts a diverse mix of visitors. Families seeking affordable camping options appreciate the straightforward, unpretentious setting. Retirees enjoy the relaxed pace and natural beauty. Fishing enthusiasts find it an excellent home base for their adventures. The park's solid 4.7-star rating from over 100 visitors reflects its appeal as a reliable, enjoyable destination for those wanting genuine Minnesota camping without unnecessary complications or overcommercialization.

Beautiful and good access to the St Croix Flowage BUT the seven mile road to get there is in very poor condition. There are great camping sites and some have electricity but there is NO WATER. There are no water hookups at any sites. There is no water available in the park at all except a hand pump in the fish cleaning station with no sign to indicate if it is potable. Many fish cleaning stations... Beautiful and good access to the St Croix Flowage BUT the seven mile road to get there is in very poor condition.

There is no water available in the park at all except a hand pump in the fish cleaning station with no sign to indicate if it is potable. Many fish cleaning stations pump out of the lake or river. The handle is missing from the only pump in the campground. There is NO RV DUMP STATION. There is a sign that says the closest dump station is 14 miles away in their other park in Solon Springs. There is pit toilet (out house). It is almost full with liquid very early in the season, June 3. I bet many are dumping their RV wastewater totes in there. I don't know what else anyone staying longer than three days is supposed to do. We paid four nights when we arrived before we realized the problems. We planned to stay two weeks but will be moving. We moved to a nearby campground with full hookups for only $5 / night more. Douglas County can do a lot better.

Confusing check in and directions. Phone doesnt let u talk to anyone. Employees no where in site for wood or questions. Vault toilets were gross. Small sites but they were level. No sewer except a dump station .5mi away. Could be better but priced right.
