Pokegama Dam Campground COE

Really nice campground, small with almost no trails unless you go across the damn but the River is lovely to enjoy. It’s a peaceful place!  Grand Rapids is close for all shopping needs.   The grounds are clean, kept mowed and almost no bugs in June!  Train is close but not often and doesn’t always blow the whistle. In 4 days only had 3 go by.  Large dump station with fresh water, large playground and nice ranger office. Shower is large and clean.   

Pokegama Dam Campground (COE)
Grand Rapids,MN

Nice small campground off US 2 on the Mississippi River.  Electric sites. Dump station 
Newer bathroom and showers. Lots of trees, good spacing between sites with views of the river. Great little meat market just down the road (S&S Meats). Shore fishing and boat launch.

Small park just off US 2 on the west side of Grand Rapids MN. Many of the sites are on the Mississippi River. You arrange a site by reserving on-line or by phone. No traditional office so no check in. You just go to your site. The sites are beautiful, level with mature trees. There is noise from the highway close by and train tracks, but only 1 train came by. There were a lot of deer ticks when we went in June 2019. There is a nature trail that seemed quite popular  that we did not try,  that is accessed across a dam. 

Exceptional COE park. Easy to find. 
Nice and helpful staff. Bathrooms & showers were clean. Nice walking paths. Walmart and other shopping near by. Our site was easy to get in and out of with our 25 foot Class C. Paid $13.00 using our senior pass.

Small campground, but consistent high quality for Army Corps Campground. Well maintained and large sites. Fishing available from to piers. Only two miles from City of Grand Rapids.

Neat clean and has a pretty walk by the dam. Trials on the other side I have think but we didn't walk them. It is small. Make reservation on *.gov or sign at office but do so early. Weak Verizon, shower pit and flush toilets. There is a dump with water, sites are just power. It sits colse to the highway so there is some noise, not too bad though

This is a great campground to stay at when your in the Grand Rapids, MN area!  I lived in the area for years and would visit the dam and the hiking trails, however, never camped.  We stayed for a night and it was great!  The spots are all nicely sized, lots of mature trees provide a great shaded area, the paved driveway in the park is nice, the set up is easy to navigate, and the dump area is clean and nice as well.  They have new playground equipment which is a bonus, the bathhouse is nice and clean, and overall it's a great place to stay!

Although there aren't water and sewer hookups at the site the freshwater hook up was easy to access and overall the campground is one of the best places we've ever camped at.  This will be our campground of choice when coming to Grand Rapids!

Didn't stay here because it was full but everything looked good , obviously very popular.
Instead stayed at the Itasca Fairgrounds,that was empty with good reason. overpriced and dirty.
