Campgrounds and RV parks near Hamburg, MN

Hamburg is a small city in Carver County, Minnesota, roughly an hour southwest of the Twin Cities. The surrounding area is farm country broken up by lakes, the Minnesota River Valley, and pockets of state land, which gives RV travelers a mix of quiet rural parks and full-service resorts within a short drive. The closest public land is the Minnesota Valley State Recreation Area, which stretches along the river between Chaska and Belle Plaine. Equestrian - Minnesota Valley State Park sits inside that unit and serves riders and tent campers. Private options nearby include Peaceful Valley Campsites, Codgers Cover RV Resort, and Cokato Lake RV Resort, all catering to RVs with hookups and family amenities. For travelers who want the Twin Cities within easy reach, Minneapolis Southwest KOA Holiday in Jordan is the largest full-hookup park in the area and a common base for trips to Valleyfair, Mystic Lake, and the Mall of America. Most Hamburg-area campgrounds run a spring-through-fall season, with peak demand from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
