Masonic West River Park

Just off major highway #7, behind a row of commercial buildings on the edge of a large city park. Site are full service, accessed by gravel road, usually noisey from road traffic, lots of Canadian Geese walking around sites. Pretty messy!

This c/g is close to our home, close to city ammenities of "Hutch" and conveniently one hour from Minneapolis.

This is a beautiful suburban park! Fourteen full hook-up RV sites are at the entrance to the park between a lovely pond (sites #1 and #2 back in to overlook the pond) and the Luce Line State Recreational Trail. Additional electric and water-only RV and tent sites are located near the entrance with views of the Crow River. A dump is on site.

We had not planned to stay here, but booked an overnight after moving on from our prior location due to severe storms. It was so lovely and peaceful, we booked two additional nights. The grounds are well taken care of and reason enough to spend a night (or three). You can enjoy simply exploring the park, kayaking on the river, or walking / biking the Luce Line Trail (don't miss the wildlife sanctuary within walking distance along the Trail). Town is only 10 minutes away for resupplying anything you need.

Reservations can easily be booked online. There is no camp office or host at the campground, so just hang onto your confirmation email in case you are asked for it. While it may not be a destination for a week, this is going on our list as a favorite as a wonderful location to just decompress for a few days!

The reservation was made through the website. It was a bit complicated but manageable. Unfortunately the receipt did not list the site number. I didn’t write it down as I made the reservation so I didn’t know where to go. There is no on-site manager. I called the city office and received help but if I had arrived after hours I would have been completely lost. The site I selected was riverside so had a nice view but was electric only. There are some full hookup sites but I’m sure they cost more. The park is beautiful. It has access to a wide spot in the river that looks like a lake. A lot of people took advantage and brought water toys. There are multiple children’s play areas. There is an extensive bike/horse/walking trail which is beautiful and mostly flat. The site was very level. There is no antenna reception. AT&T provided 2 bars but that was enough as it was 5G. There is decent spacing between sites. There is a dump station on site. Every site had a fire pit and picnic table and can accommodate any size rig but backing in is tricky at many sites due to trees and large rocks. It is a nice spot to spend a few days. Hutchinson is a walk or bike ride away yet it felt natural. The Twin Cities are an hour away.
