Red River State Recreation Area Campground

We stayed here in our class C with a tow vehicle on Sept 6, 2016 and paid $39 for a pull-through site with full hookups. Gravel parking was relatively level. Friendly staff and clean park. We didn't take advantage of the close proximity of a cinema, restaurants and shopping within walking distance or the bike trails because we were passing through and only spending one night. There were several other campers, but we were nicely spaced out...mores than average. Lots of trees. The prime spots along the bike path were rented, so best to call ahead if you want one. Only issue was a gazillion mosquitoes (they actually sprayed the night we were here).

We had a tough time finding a suitable campground within striking distance of Winkler, Canada...and this area seemed the best option as far as proximity. Most other campgrounds seemed were closed or had less than glowing reviews, and this one was a crap-shoot with only one review before mine. Glad we gave it a shot. Would definitely recommend and would stay here again.

Red River SRA was the result of an effort to develop an East Grand Forks neighborhood that was destroyed as a result of the flood of 1997. The neighborhood of 500 homes and other buildings were converted into a campground and recreation area along the Red and Red Lake Rivers. The campground uses the streets of the neighborhood and includes 109 campsites. Recreation opportunities include fishing, boating, picnicking, walking and biking.
