Campgrounds and RV parks near Audubon, MN

Audubon sits in Becker County in west-central Minnesota, just east of Detroit Lakes along U.S. Highway 10. The area is lake country: hundreds of small kettle lakes, hardwood transition forest, and rolling terrain left behind by retreating glaciers. RV travelers typically use Audubon as a base for the Detroit Lakes chain, Tamarac National Wildlife Refuge to the north, and Maplewood State Park in Otter Tail County to the southwest. Campground options within a short drive include Forest Hills Golf and RV Membership Resort, Country Campground, Pelican HIlls RV Park, and Woodland Trails Resort. These private parks generally offer full hookups, laundry, and family amenities. For a public-land option, the Main campground at Maplewood State Park provides drive-in sites inside a 9,250-acre park in Otter Tail County known for its hardwood trees including sugar maple, basswood, American elm, and oak. Most first-time visitors mix one or two nights at a private resort with hookups and a night or two inside the state park for hiking and lake access.

Private parks near Audubon, including Forest Hills Golf and RV Membership Resort, Country Campground, Pelican HIlls RV Park, and Woodland Trails Resort, take reservations directly through their own websites or by phone.
