We followed the instructions on the confirmation email across the bridge from Grand Forks to East Grand Forks, MN to check into the campground (CG). After going through the Avenue of Flags and near the Blue Moose Bar & Grill there’s RV parking in front of the little check-in cabin. Check-in was easy and as disabled veterans, we got a free Minnesota State Park Vehicle Pass. We then proceeded to the Sherlock CG, which is the camping area and site 106E. Site 106E is a long pull through with FHUs. Pulling in was super easy and utilities are placed in the middle of the long pad. The utilities worked great with water pressure at about 50 psi. We got two bars on Verizon. There are trees in and around the sites, but we were able to get a clear north shot for Starlink. The sites in our area were well spaced apart, which we really liked. We were on the back row where the cement walking/bike trail is located far enough away that you still have privacy. There are a lot of sites in this CG mostly pull throughs but there are back-ins. They are serious about the vehicle permits and you cannot just lay the pass on your dashboard. It must be adhered to the windshield. We went to the office to clear our ticket, which didn’t cost us anything as we were prompt to respond. The office also has t-shirts, which we purchased. There was not a formal dog park, but plenty of areas to walk. Red River is one of the better CGs we have stayed at in our 5 years of “Most Timing.”

Very safe spacious sites most of them FHU. Some road noise and city sounds but it’s right in the middle of downtown, yet feels remote. Even though some sites are lacking trees they’re large enough to feel private. Cabelas plus many food and shopping within walking distance. Bring your bike and enjoy the green way “big bike trail” that goes for miles along the river. It runs on both sides of the two rivers and has many river crossings so u can make big and small loops. I would rate it higher but the noise is just a bit loud but not oppressive.

Great park. Quiet but we stayed during the week. Nice camp showers! Full hook ups + pull through for $41/night. Have to buy a MN state park vehicle registration or get a daily one at front office. Nice trails down to the water and good for biking.

Quiet, unless you’re at the back of the campground near the busy road. Sites are pull through and long. Paved roads and gravel sites. Mature landscape with lots of grass. Adjacent to a paved walking/biking path along the river corridor.

I agree with BMV above. The park was nice BUT… very noisy on a weekend if there are car races. Friends came over to visit and they had to pay the 7$.
The sites are nice, we were close to the river. Walking distance to restaurants and downtown GF. Next time we will try somewhere else.

Overall the the stay was satisfactory. The camp spots were all very large and most could accommodate the largest of RVs. A lot of space between camp spots as well. We were in spot 70 which was closer to highway 2 and road noise. I wish I would have looked at the map on line more closely and stayed away from the highway. Our only complaint was the price. The cost of the camp spot was $41 as well as an online $7 reservation fee. Then, when we arrived, we were told that we had to buy a $7 vehicle pass?? All for a grand total of $55. In other states your vehicle entry is included in the price of the RV camp spot. Not sure how one can camp in a RV spot without a vehicle? We honestly feel a little tricked out of $7 and would have probably chosen to drive a little farther if we would have known about the total price. The vehicle pass costs $7 per day or $35 for an annual pass. If you stay in Minnesota parks more than 5 days just buy the annual pass.

The whole park was created as the result of severe flooding in the 1990's. FEMA relocated all the housing and businesses and created the park to make use of the floodplain. The campground is actually a former residential neighborhood, so the driveways are the past streets and alleys. Most campsites sit on the equivalent of a full home lot, so there is tons of space. Miles of walking/biking trails intersect the park.
Full hook ups, all services work well. Very good Verizon signal streaming no problem. Park never filled while we were here.
Friday nights there are Sprint Car races at the track across the river - high performance engines are loud! They stop pretty early (10ish) so not a sleeping problem. We went to the races - if you're going to hear it, might as well watch it!
Great staff, and all the commercial service you need within a mile or two.

And the nearby restaurants are excellent. We hope to return!
