Blue Earth City Campground

The campground is tucked back behind the fairgrounds and is its only private area. The grounds were very clean and hosts were very friendly. The campground had a trail that circled the entire fairgrounds, up towards the Jolly Green Giant statue, and was our favorite part of the stay. Definitely a hidden gem and would go back!

Took a chance, and we lucked out. The park host was super nice and we slid right into a nice spot for the evening. It’s at the back of the fairgrounds and city baseball field….but super quiet. Two small problems, for us…the cottonwood trees were shedding so badly we decided not to use our AC,but the weather was very comfortable, so it was ok. But, the flies…oh, my. The host said they couldn’t explain them, very unusual. 
Great news, you can see the Jolly Green Giant statue as you come and go.
Blue Earth has a charming downtown, a nice grocery store, too.

Overall good park

We stayed overnight and cannot say enough good things. Full hook ups, spaced apart, hot showers, fire wood included (although we didn’t use it), & sweet hosts. Only negative was the mosquitoes (the city did spray later in the evening & morning was better). 

This city park is so clean and quiet. It’s actually on the outskirts of the fair grounds. Easy on and off of interstate.  Will definitely stay again when traveling through.

Sites are level and spaced out. Showers are basic and relatively clean. Denise the host was pleasant and helpful. 

stayed here on the way to yellowstone, very nice place, nice trail around the fairgrounds, got to see the green giant. more places like this would be great for traveling.

Stayed here for an overnight while heading to Yellow Stone.  Very nice camp host and the sites were great. HIGHLY recommend this campground.  The town was very clean and picturesque.

Cannot say enough about this Campground. Our host Denise was kind and helpful, the amenities great and the site’s beautiful. Would definitely recommend!

Clean campsite with very friendly camp host.  Bath house was spotless with HOT water.  Denise was wonderful.  We’ll be back!  Peace.

Easy reservation by phone. Super friendly host, easy to check in! Walk path behind site, walked East and got picture of Jolly Green Giant and Little Sprout! Would stay again!

Great value, very nice host.

We had a great stay at the Faribault County Fairgrounds for two nights on our way west. The location is very convenient off of I-90 and Hwy 20. The camp host, Denise is fantastic at her job, assigning the correct dates, size sites, and ensuring that your stay is comfortable. The sites were full hook-up with 50 amp and very level. The fairground area is great for biking, or running/walking with trails and sidewalks available. The small town has many fast food options such as DQ, Subway, etc. (you could exercise walk to DQ 😊) The Jolly Green Giant is right adjacent to the fairgrounds for a “must-see” landmark while you’re in Blue Earth. 

Friendly host. Reserve online it’s not first come first serve.  Great place with fire ring and picnic table.  Much more than we expected 

In the back of the fairgrounds.  We happened to be there when it rained all night. Fresh gravel got soft and site 5 was flooding. 

Great spot. Friendly Host.  Newer electrical pedestals.  Good water, level gravel pads.  Have showers, 50 and 30 amps.  

Level sites, 50 & 30 amp.  Small park.  Stayed one night.  5 night maximum.  I’d come back again.  

What a Nice Little Surprise. This Campground was just what we needed for a night on the Road. We had a nice level spot with what appeared to be Newly upgraded 50a FHU. We had a very quiet and relaxing stay. I would also like to Thank the Campground Host, Denise. She was very helpful and accommodating. 

Happened upon this site almost by accident after making a stop at the Green Giant museum, and very glad we did! Very nice park; fairly level gravel sites with electric & water hookups for $20. Dump station on site. Located next to a nice park with picnic tables, restrooms/showers (didn't use, but checked and they were clean), playground for kids, and several historic buildings. No reservations; pick an available spot (all back-in but big rig friendly), put your money in an envelope and deposit it in the receptacle. Quiet, clean spot that we would definitely stay at again.

This was just a stop on our way West, but we were pleasantly surprised. Located at the back end of the fairgrounds, only 8 spots, all with full hookup and a clean restroom with a single shower. Behind the campground was a city bike trail that took you to the Green Giant statue one way and the I-90 West wayside in the other direction, alongside the Blue Earth river. I had an enjoyable 4 mile run in the morning, before packing up.

Nice and quiet. Small Campground,only  10 sites. 20$ full hook up 

Nice  quiet. Only three travelers  in the park. Was  grassy with level gravel sites. Clean.Would definately stay again. Staid one Sunday night.

Found this by accident while getting gas down the road.  Amazed to find this little gem with open spots on memorial day wknd (passing thru on way to Glacier NP), when *every* public / private park was full.  100F outside, and a beautiful site w/ what looks like brand new 20/30/50A pedestal.  NO potable water, but there's a dump station w/ rinse.  Summer only.  Well worth the $20.  

Campground is located behind the fairground buildings. 9 RV sites, all with recently upgraded W,S,E. Run by the city of Blue Earth - no reservations taken - first come first served. No longer "free" for the 1st night. $20/night. 5 night max.  Payment made on the honor system via a lockbox. (Cash and checks only). WONDERFUL biking/walking trails surround the campground. River runs behind it.  Fairground has "historical" town (if opened).  We stayed only 1 night - passing through on I-90.  Would most definitely return here!

It was a little difficult to find with the RV Parky map link, bur once you find the circle with the Wal-Mart, the fairgrounds are across the road behind the Jolly Green Giant statue. Free first night full 50-amp, water and sewer!! Still a steal at $20.00 per night there after!! Quiet except for an occasional distant train passing.

The sites are all upgraded, utilities placed thoughtfully, trees along the back perimeter. We had no mosquitoes. There was an amateur local baseball team playing right there at the fairgrounds. The Green Giant statue is fun to see. Can't beat the price for first night -- free!
We would definitely stay again when we are in the area.

Occasional passing train but you barely notice first nite free and free is always good looks like new gravel in the back in sites and there are fire pits . Don't forget to get a picture of the jolly green giant out front we will stop again if we are ever in the area again

First 24 hours are free. FREE! Then $20 per night which is still a great deal. 9 sites with power, water and sewer. Very clean and well taken care of. Saw the Jolly Green Giant, and a few Minnesota mosquitoes. Small Walmart (not a Super Center) Dairy Queen and fuel nearby. 

9 sites all 20, 30, and 50 amp electric, water, and sewer. Rest rooms with shower about 2 minute walk away. First night free and $20 for subsequent nights. Did not experience any bugs at all. Across the street from Walmart and next to giant Jolly Green Giant statue.

First night free. $20 thereafter. Updated electric, water, shade picnic tables, neat little historic location at the County Fairgrounds. Negative is many many many mosquitoes. If it's full, the nearby Walmart is a good choice.
