Camping close to Minneapolis, MN

I am looking for a spot as close as possible to Minneapolis next week Sun-Sun. I know this is short notice and it will be limited since I need to stay the weekend, but looking for any advice. I have called most of the places I can find on google maps. Any hidden places that can take a big rig ? Any places that have spots that are non reserve I can get in on Sunday ?

Lebanon Hills - Full
koa North - Nothing avail
Baker Campground - Full
Town and Country RV - Full
Dakotah Meadows - On Waiting list
Rice Creek and Bunker Hill - Full

    Thanks for the help so far, please keep it coming. I will be in Minneapolis daily working so need to be within 30-45 minutes.

    Lake Wissota SP in Wisconsin is another possibility, if memory serves.
    We also stayed at the Minneapolis NW KOA in Maple Grove one year. It was fine.

    A few years ago we passed through this area and we stayed at Willow River State Park in Wisconsin. We stayed there a couple days so we could visit The Mall of America, and then headed further North to our destination, Itaska State Park.

    Granted, we had to drive a bit to get to the Mall, the serenity at the state park was well worth it.

    Do NOT stay at St. Paul East. Can be nice enuf park but the owner is a very loose cannon; particularly after about mid afternoon. Also well known in the area for the same reputation.
