Campgrounds near Montgomery, Minnesota
Montgomery sits in Le Sueur County in south-central Minnesota, roughly an hour south of the Twin Cities and within easy reach of the Sakatah lakes chain. The area draws RV travelers with a mix of family resort campgrounds, a state park on the water, and quieter private grounds tucked among farmland and hardwood forest.
The closest developed option is Kamp Dels, a large family resort on Lake Sakatah near Waterville with full-hookup RV sites, cabins, and an on-site waterpark. Sakatah Lake State Park, on the Cannon River widening at Waterville, is the nearby public option and connects directly to the paved Sakatah Singing Hills State Trail. Fish Lake Acres Campground offers lakefront sites with full hookups on Fish Lake near Prior Lake, about 40 minutes to the north.
For horse campers, the Equestrian - Minnesota Valley State Park campground at the Lawrence Unit near Jordan provides hitching posts and trail access. Winjums Shady Acres Resort near Faribault rounds out the private-park options within a short drive of Montgomery.
Things to do near Montgomery
Water recreation anchors most trips. Lake Sakatah is a natural widening of the Cannon River and holds walleye, largemouth and white bass, northern pike, and panfish, with calm water suited to canoeing and kayaking. Kamp Dels adds an on-site waterpark, mini-golf, and boat rentals for families staying on site.
The Sakatah Singing Hills State Trail runs 39 paved miles between Mankato and Faribault and passes through Sakatah Lake State Park, making it a strong pick for biking, walking, and inline skating. Horseback riders and mountain bikers can head to the Minnesota Valley State Recreation Area, which offers a network of multi-use trail along the Minnesota River and connects to the equestrian campground at the Lawrence Unit.

The main RV season in this part of Minnesota runs from late April through mid-October. Sakatah Lake State Park keeps its drinking water, showers, flush toilets, and dump station open from roughly mid-May through mid-October, with vault toilets available the rest of the year. Kamp Dels typically operates from spring into fall, and Fish Lake Acres runs from May through early October.
Spring and early summer bring the best fishing and boating conditions, along with green forests along the trail corridor. Mid-summer is peak family season: the waterpark, lake, and state trail are all in full use, and weekend sites at popular resorts book out weeks ahead. Sakatah Lake is shallow, so algae growth can appear by mid to late summer.
Fall delivers cooler nights, hardwood color, and thinner crowds, though most amenity buildings close by mid-October. Winter access is limited to day use, snowmobiling on the Sakatah Singing Hills Trail, and skiing in the Minnesota Valley State Recreation Area.

How to book campsites near Montgomery
Sakatah Lake State Park and the Equestrian campground at Minnesota Valley State Recreation Area are both reserved through the Minnesota DNR reservation system at reservemn.usedirect.com. The booking window opens 120 days before arrival at 8 a.m. Central, and phone reservations at 866-857-2757 run April through September, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. A vehicle permit is required on top of the campsite fee, sold at the entrance kiosk or as an annual pass.
Kamp Dels takes reservations directly, with summer weekends and holidays filling first. Fish Lake Acres and Winjums Shady Acres Resort are booked directly with the campground. For popular summer dates, reserve as early as the window opens, and confirm site length limits if traveling in a larger RV.
What to expect at Montgomery campgrounds
Sites in this area range from full-hookup resort pads to wooded state park sites with electric-only or no hookups. Sakatah Lake State Park has 62 sites able to accommodate RVs up to 55 feet, with 14 electric sites, a dump station, and a camper cabin. Kamp Dels and Fish Lake Acres both offer full-hookup sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service in most loops, plus showers and laundry.
Expect wooded, shaded sites at the state park and denser, activity-focused layouts at family resorts. Mosquitoes and biting flies are typical in early summer, so bring repellent. Cell coverage is generally reliable near town but can drop off in wooded park interiors, and firewood should be purchased on site or from local vendors to comply with Minnesota rules on moving firewood.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Montgomery, MN
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Montgomery, MN?
Good news: an RV rental in Montgomery, MN is more affordable than most travelers expect, especially compared to hotels around the Twin Cities. On RVezy, travel trailers in the area typically start around $95 to $150 per night, while larger Class C motorhome rentals in Montgomery usually run $200 to $325 per night. Booking midweek or in the shoulder seasons (late May or September) is the easiest way to score a cheap RV rental in Montgomery without sacrificing quality. Pro tip: Montgomery hosts often offer weekly discounts, which is perfect if you're planning a longer loop through Sakatah Lake State Park, Nerstrand Big Woods, and the Minnesota River Valley.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Montgomery%2C%20MinnesotaWhat license do I need to rent an RV in Montgomery, MN?
Great news for first-time renters: your regular Minnesota driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Montgomery. No commercial driver's license (CDL), special endorsement, or RV-specific permit is required for any of the Class B campervans, Class C motorhomes, or travel trailers listed on RVezy. RVezy approved drivers are generally 25 or older, and your ID is verified securely through the platform during checkout, so there's no extra paperwork at pickup. Visiting from outside the U.S.? An International Driving Permit paired with your home license works perfectly. That makes renting an RV in Montgomery one of the easiest ways to explore the Minnesota River Valley.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsIs my Montgomery, MN RV rental protected if something goes wrong?
Absolutely, peace of mind is built right into every RV rental in Montgomery, MN booked through RVezy. Every trip includes a renter protection plan that covers most accidental damage to the vehicle, plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so if you get a flat on Highway 13 heading toward Le Sueur or have a battery issue at Kamp Dels, help is one call away. During checkout you'll choose the protection level that fits your trip best, which keeps things flexible. This isn't traditional auto insurance, but it provides meaningful financial protection. That way you can focus on kolacky, kayaking on Lake Mazaska, and exploring instead of worrying.
rvezy.com/insurance-and-protectionWhat happens if I need to cancel my Montgomery, MN RV trip?
Booking is genuinely low-risk: RVezy sets the cancellation policy for every RV rental in Montgomery, MN, which keeps things consistent and predictable across all hosts. You get a full money-back grace period right after booking, so if plans shift quickly (a Minnesota snowstorm, a work change, a family conflict), you have room to adjust. If you need to cancel closer to your trip, refund or credit options may still apply depending on timing. The full details live on RVezy's cancellation policy page, so you can review them anytime. Pro tip: Booking early for Montgomery's Kolacky Days in late July gives you the biggest cushion.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a pet-friendly RV rental in Montgomery, MN?
Yes, dogs are very welcome on plenty of pet-friendly RV rentals in Montgomery, MN. Just use the Pet-Friendly filter on RVezy to see only listings where pets are pre-approved, then message the host with your dog's size and breed to confirm. Montgomery is a fantastic dog-friendly basecamp: Sakatah Lake State Park has leash-friendly hiking trails along the old Sakatah Singing Hills State Trail, and Nerstrand Big Woods State Park (about 30 minutes south) welcomes leashed pups on most trails. Pro tip: Most Minnesota state parks require dogs on a 6-foot leash and ask that you carry proof of current rabies vaccination, so toss those tags in your glove box.
dnr.state.mn.us/state_parks/rules.htmlCan the RV be delivered to my campsite near Montgomery, MN?
Yes, RV delivery in Montgomery is one of the most popular options on RVezy, especially for first-time renters who'd rather skip towing or driving a big rig. Many local hosts will deliver the RV directly to your campsite at Kamp Dels in Waterville, Sakatah Lake State Park in Waterville, or even your driveway in Montgomery, then set up the awning, level the rig, hook up power and water, and walk you through every system. Just use the Delivery filter when searching, and check the listing for the delivery radius and per-mile fee. Pro tip: Kamp Dels and Sakatah Lake are both within 15 miles of downtown Montgomery, making delivery especially affordable.

You'll be in great shape, even if it's your first time renting an RV.

Montgomery's rural roads, gentle rolling terrain, and quiet Highway 13 corridor are ideal for getting comfortable behind the wheel. If you're nervous, a Class C motorhome rental in Montgomery drives much like a large truck, and campervans handle like a tall minivan. Pro tip: Start with a one-night trip to Sakatah Lake State Park (only 15 miles) to build confidence before a longer loop.
dps.mn.gov/divisions/dvs/Pages/default.aspxWhat if I have a breakdown or flat tire during my Montgomery RV trip?
You're never on your own.

Popular routes include the Wisconsin Dells (about 240 miles east), the Black Hills of South Dakota (around 560 miles west), and the Boundary Waters or Voyageurs National Park (300+ miles north). Cross-border trips to Canada are allowed on many listings but require the host's approval and confirmation that insurance extends north, so just message the host before booking. One important note: travel into Mexico is not permitted on RVezy rentals because insurance coverage doesn't extend there. Pro tip: For a perfect long weekend, head 75 miles east to Red Wing and the Great River Road along the Mississippi.
cbp.gov/travel/us-citizens/know-before-you-goWhat kind of fuel mileage and gas costs should I budget for a Montgomery RV trip?
Budgeting fuel for your Montgomery RV trip is pretty straightforward. Most Class C motorhomes get 8 to 12 mpg on regular unleaded, Class B campervans average 15 to 20 mpg, and travel trailers depend on your tow vehicle. Minnesota gas prices typically run $3.10 to $3.60 per gallon, with stations in Montgomery, New Prague, and Le Center usually a bit cheaper than the Twin Cities. For a weekend trip from Montgomery to Sakatah Lake and back, plan $40 to $70 in fuel. A bigger loop to the North Shore could run $250 to $400. Pro tip: Check Minnesota Commerce's gas price tracker the day before you leave to find the cheapest stations along Highway 169.
mn.gov/commerce/consumers/your-utilities/energy-prices.jspHow far in advance should I book campgrounds near Montgomery, MN?
Earlier is better, but you've still got great options even close to your trip. Minnesota state parks like Sakatah Lake and Nerstrand Big Woods open reservations 120 days in advance through the Minnesota DNR online system, and prime summer weekends (especially July 4th and Labor Day) often fill within the first hour. Aim to book those 3 to 4 months out. Private parks like Kamp Dels and Dakotah Meadows usually have more flexibility, and last-minute spots open up midweek even in July. Pro tip: For Kolacky Days weekend in Montgomery (last weekend of July), reserve any nearby campground by April or grab an RV with delivery to a friend's driveway in town.
dnr.state.mn.us/reservations/index.htmlWhat are the roads and driving conditions like around Montgomery, MN?
Driving an RV around Montgomery is refreshingly easy compared to big-city RV rentals. The area sits on rolling farm country with gentle grades, wide rural two-lanes like Highway 13 and Highway 21, and quiet county roads ideal for new RV drivers. Highway 169 connects you north to the Twin Cities (about 55 miles) and south to Mankato in around an hour. In winter (December through March), expect snow, ice, and occasional blizzard conditions, so most rentals are seasonal. Watch for deer at dawn and dusk year-round, especially near Sakatah Lake. Pro tip: Use Minnesota's 511 system before you head out, it shows real-time road conditions, closures, and construction zones across the state.

Most rigs include a roof-mounted air conditioner, a furnace (essential for those cool 50°F Minnesota nights), and seatbelts for travel. Many hosts add a generator, outdoor speakers, a TV, and even Wi-Fi hotspots. Campervan rentals in Montgomery are more compact but still include a bed, mini fridge, and stovetop.

Mileage policies vary by listing (typically 100 to 150 free miles per day, with paid overage clearly shown). Pro tip: Select add-ons during booking rather than at pickup, popular gear like kayaks books up fast in July.
exploreminnesota.com/things-to-do/parks-trails/outdoor-activities/campingHow does payment and the security deposit work for an RV rental in Montgomery, MN?
Payment for your RV rental in Montgomery, MN is simple and secure, all handled through RVezy online (no cash, checks, or side payments to the host). You'll pay the trip total at booking with a credit or debit card, and a security deposit amount is shown clearly on the listing before you confirm. The deposit is placed as a hold on your card (not actually charged) and released after the trip if the RV is returned clean, on time, and undamaged. To make sure your deposit comes back in full: refill the fuel and propane as agreed, dump the gray and black tanks at Sakatah Lake's dump station or another approved spot, and respect the mileage allowance. Pro tip: Take date-stamped photos at pickup and dropoff, it's the easiest way to keep everything smooth.
