Camping close to Minneapolis, MN

[chrizg]

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

This is my list so far I am going to call in the morning

State Fairgrounds 651-642-2379
Krestwood Mobile Home Park
Ham Lake
Running aces casino

Have you called Ham Lake Campground in Andover, MN? It's 24 miles from downtown directly north.

Does anyone know if the fairgrounds camping area is open during the year ?

I called and asked them and they said my camper is to long (43') for what they have open. Online says

Your rig's length is not compatible with these sites. Change your site details to try again. Or call 800-562-0261 for more help.

Couple years ago on our way to WI we stayed at a KOA in Jordan, MN about 25 miles SW of the Mall of America in Bloomington, MN.

Perfect for us.

Lebanon - 2 sites avail during the time frame (June 19th-26th) I will be there and both sites are short and the host said I have to park the truck in my site since they have super limited overflow parking. Not sure if they have any non reserve sites, and may call them back tomorrow to double check

Dakota Meadows - Does not have anything available over the weekend, but I am on a waiting list in case someone cancels.

Town and country RV Park - No openings

Not real helpful that several do not read original post - Dah they mention that some are full

We loved Lebanon Hills. Great campground.

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.
