Campgrounds near Courtland, Minnesota
Courtland sits in the Minnesota River Valley between New Ulm and Mankato, giving RV travelers access to two state parks and several smaller municipal and private campgrounds within a short drive. The terrain mixes wooded river bluffs, prairie remnants, and farmland, so most nearby camping is river-adjacent rather than lakefront.
Flandrau State Park sits on the Cottonwood River adjacent to the city of New Ulm and honors Charles Eugene Flandrau, who commanded defenses during the Battles of New Ulm in the Dakota War of 1862. The Semi-Modern campground at Flandrau is the closest full-service state-park option to Courtland and books through the Minnesota DNR system. Shirley's Park and Country Retreat - Seasonal Campground and Kayak Rental offers a private alternative with kayak rental on-site.
For travelers willing to drive a bit farther toward Mankato, Minneopa State Park adds waterfall views and a bison range. Municipal options like Kuhar Park Campground and Watona Park Campground and Park round out the shortlist for shorter stays or overflow when state-park sites fill during peak weekends.
Things to do near Courtland
At Flandrau State Park, amenities include eight miles of hiking and groomed cross-country trails, a chlorinated sand-bottomed pond, beach, sand volleyball courts, playground equipment, corn-hole areas, and fire pits. The terrain is diverse, offering views of wooded river bottoms, oxbow marshes and open grasslands, and hikers use the flat trails on the bottom of the valley or more challenging routes on the oak-shaded bluffs.
Minneopa State Park adds a bison drive loop and a two-tiered waterfall on Minneopa Creek, useful for a half-day trip from a Courtland base. Shirley's Park and Country Retreat - Seasonal Campground and Kayak Rental rents kayaks for paddling nearby, and municipal parks like Kuhar Park Campground and Watona Park Campground and Park suit families looking for playgrounds and short walks close to town.
New Ulm itself supplies German-heritage restaurants, Schell's Brewery tours, and Domeier's German Store as rainy-day options.

The prime RV season in this part of southern Minnesota runs from Memorial Day through early October, when state-park campgrounds are fully open and shower buildings are in service. Summer weekends fill quickly, and Flandrau's swimming pond, beach, and volleyball courts draw heavy day-use traffic on hot afternoons.
Spring brings variable weather and river-valley mud; some walk-in sites can be soft after snowmelt. Fall is quieter, with cooler nights and strong color on the bluff oaks through mid-October. The Stone CCC cabin at Flandrau does not have insulation or heat, and may be reserved seasonally from approximately mid-May through mid-October.
Winter camping in the area is limited. Two heated camper cabins at Flandrau are available year-round and feature rustic interiors with wooden bunkbeds, mattresses, a table, benches, electricity, and heat, but private and municipal campgrounds around Courtland typically close for the season. Confirm site type, hookups, and dump-station status before booking a shoulder-season trip.
How to book campgrounds near Courtland
State-park sites at Flandrau and Minneopa are reserved through the Minnesota DNR. Reservations can be made up to 120 days in advance, 24 hours a day, except for the first day a reservation becomes available; on that first day, reservations cannot be made online before 8 a.m. Phone reservations are available by calling 866-857-2757.
A Minnesota state-park vehicle permit is required in addition to the camping fee. The group center at Flandrau is handled separately: call the park directly at 507-233-1260, since the group center cannot be reserved through the Minnesota state park reservation system.
Municipal campgrounds such as Kuhar Park Campground and Watona Park Campground and Park use local city or park-board booking systems, and private options like Shirley's Park and Country Retreat - Seasonal Campground and Kayak Rental take reservations directly. Book summer weekends several weeks out.
What to expect near Courtland
Expect classic Minnesota River Valley camping: mixed hardwood shade, river-bottom humidity, and evening mosquitoes from June through August. Drive-in sites in the semi-modern campground at Flandrau are positioned close together and lack privacy, while walk-in sites in the rustic area offer more seclusion and space for those willing to hike a short distance.
Hookup availability varies. Semi-modern state-park sites typically offer electric service with shared water rather than full hookups, so plan tank management accordingly. Vault toilets and drinking water are available, along with a seasonal dump station.
Attended campfires are allowed in established fire rings in state park campgrounds, including drive-in, cart-in and walk-in campsites; keep the fire small, always supervise it, and make sure it is completely out before walking away. Firewood is available for purchase at the park.
