Camping near Shoreview, Minnesota
Shoreview sits in the northern Twin Cities metro in Ramsey County, roughly fifteen minutes from downtown Saint Paul and close to Interstates 35W, 35E, and 694. The city gives RV travelers a quiet suburban base within easy reach of urban attractions, chain-of-lakes recreation, and the St. Croix River Valley to the east.
Private RV parks handle most overnight demand in the immediate area. Town and Country Campground and RV Park in Savage sits south of the Twin Cities and offers accessible proximity to Twin Cities attractions, dining, and shopping. Minneapolis Northwest KOA Journey and Golden Acres RV Park serve travelers approaching from the north and west, while Ham Lake Resort is convenient for northeast-side visitors near the Anoka County lake country.
Public camping options concentrate at nearby state parks such as William O'Brien and Wild River along the St. Croix, and at Ramsey and Anoka County regional parks. The Disabled Veterans Campground on Big Marine Lake offers a specialized option for veterans and their families north of Shoreview.
Things to do near Shoreview
Water activities dominate the season. Nearby lakes support paddling, fishing, and swimming, and the Mississippi River corridor offers boat launches and bike trails through the Twin Cities regional park system. Snail Lake Regional Park and Rice Creek North Regional Trail sit within Shoreview itself.
Families use Shoreview as a base for the Minnesota Zoo, the Como Park Zoo and Conservatory, the Mall of America, and the Science Museum of Minnesota. The Minnesota State Fairgrounds in Falcon Heights are less than fifteen minutes south.
For day trips, the St. Croix River towns of Stillwater and Taylors Falls draw hikers and paddlers, while William O'Brien State Park and Interstate State Park offer trails, scenic overlooks, and river access within an hour's drive.

The Shoreview camping season is short and concentrated. Most private RV parks and public campgrounds open in mid-April and close by late October or early November, tracking the frost-free window. Town and Country Campground and RV Park operates from April 1 through November 30.
Summer brings the reliable warmth and long daylight hours that fill sites fastest. June through August is peak season, with weekends around Memorial Day, Independence Day, the Minnesota State Fair in late August, and Labor Day booking out first. Thunderstorms are frequent in summer, and mosquitoes peak in June and July.
Shoulder seasons offer better site availability and fewer bugs. September delivers warm days, cool nights, and early fall color along the St. Croix. May can be cool and wet but works well for anglers targeting the walleye and panfish opener. Winter camping is limited to a small number of state park sites and requires a reservation.

How to book campgrounds near Shoreview
Private parks such as Minneapolis Northwest KOA Journey, Town and Country Campground and RV Park, Golden Acres RV Park, and Ham Lake Resort take reservations directly through their own websites or by phone. Summer weekends and Minnesota State Fair dates fill months ahead, so book early for July and August stays.
Minnesota state park sites are reserved through the Minnesota DNR reservation service up to 120 days before the arrival date, either online or by phone. New dates open in the morning on the first day they're bookable. All vehicles entering a Minnesota state park or recreation area need a state park permit, either annual or daily.
Anoka, Washington, and Ramsey County regional park campgrounds use their own separate booking systems and are worth checking for last-minute openings.
What to expect
Expect a suburban camping experience close to full services. Grocery stores, fuel, propane, dump stations, and RV repair are all within a short drive of Shoreview. Cell coverage is strong across the metro, and most private parks offer WiFi, full hookups, laundry, and pool access.
Site styles vary. Town and Country offers full hook-up sites with capability for big rigs, 20, 30, and 50 amp service, cable TV, a heated saltwater pool, laundry, a campground store, a playground, and an onsite dump station. KOA Journey properties follow the standard KOA amenity set with pet areas and kids' activities. State and county park sites are more rustic, with electric-only or no hookups and shared bathhouses.
Mosquitoes and ticks are active from late May through September, so bring repellent. Firewood should be sourced locally to prevent moving invasive pests such as emerald ash borer.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Shoreview, MN
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Shoreview, MN?
RV rental in Shoreview, MN is more affordable than most people expect, with options for every budget on RVezy. Travel trailers and pop-ups typically start around $70 to $120 per night, Class C motorhomes range from $150 to $225, and larger Class A motorhomes can run $200 to $325 per night. Weekly bookings often unlock host discounts, and shoulder-season trips in May or late September are noticeably cheaper than peak July weekends around the Minnesota State Fair. For a cheap RV rental in Shoreview, filter by travel trailer or pop-up, and message hosts about midweek pricing. Book a few months ahead for summer to lock in the best rates.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Shoreview%2C%20MinnesotaWhat license do I need to rent an RV in Shoreview, Minnesota?
Good news: a regular Class D driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Shoreview, even for large Class A motorhomes. Minnesota does not require a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) or any special RV endorsement for personal recreational vehicles. To book on RVezy, you simply need to be 25 or older with a valid driver's license, and you'll confirm your ID through the platform during checkout. Visiting from overseas? Pick up an International Driving Permit (IDP) from your home auto club before flying in. Most first-time renters in the Twin Cities area are surprised how quick and easy the booking process really is.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsIs there protection and roadside assistance included with my Shoreview RV rental?
Yes, every RV rental in Shoreview, MN booked through RVezy comes with a renter protection plan and 24/7 roadside assistance built into your reservation. During checkout you'll choose your protection level, which covers accidental damage to the vehicle so you can drive away with peace of mind. If you get a flat on I-694 or a dead battery at Bald Eagle Lake, one call gets help dispatched any time, day or night. Pick the coverage tier that fits your trip, then focus on planning your route along the St. Croix.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat if I need to cancel my Shoreview RV trip?
Life happens, and RVezy makes it low-risk to book your Shoreview RV rental. RVezy sets the cancellation policy (not individual hosts), and it includes a money-back grace period right after booking so you can lock in your dates with confidence. The specific refund amount depends on how far out you are from your trip start date. Because it's a single platform-wide policy, you won't see different rules on each listing. Reach out to RVezy support any time before or during your trip if plans shift, and book today knowing you're covered.
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 Shoreview?
Absolutely, your dog is welcome on plenty of trips. Use the Pet-Friendly filter on RVezy to find a pet-friendly RV rental in Shoreview, MN where the host has explicitly opted in. Many Twin Cities hosts allow dogs with a small cleaning fee, and Shoreview itself is a dream for four-legged travelers thanks to Rice Creek Regional Trail and the off-leash dog park at Rice Creek North Regional Trail. Nearby Bald Eagle-Otter Lakes Regional Park and Lake Elmo Park Reserve also welcome leashed pets at their campgrounds. Pack a leash, vaccination records, and a tie-out stake, then hit the trails together.
dnr.state.mn.us/state_parks/pets.htmlCan the host deliver and set up the RV for me in Shoreview?
Yes, RV delivery in Shoreview is one of the easiest ways to start your trip, especially if you're a first-timer. Many RVezy hosts in the north metro will tow or drive the motorhome straight to your campground, driveway, or rental address, level it, hook up power and water, and walk you through every system before they leave. Filter by Delivery on RVezy to see which listings include it, and check the host's delivery radius (most cover Ramsey, Anoka, and Washington counties, plus state parks like William O'Brien and Wild River). Delivery fees vary by distance, but for first-time renters it's worth every dollar.
dnr.state.mn.us/state_parks/william_obrien/index.htmlHow far can I drive, and is there an RV rental with unlimited mileage in Shoreview?
You have a lot of freedom on a Shoreview RV trip, with daily mileage allowances usually between 100 and 200 miles and extra miles available for a small per-mile fee. Some hosts even offer RV rental with unlimited mileage, which is perfect for longer loops. From Shoreview you're 30 minutes to downtown Minneapolis, about 50 minutes to Stillwater on the St. Croix, 2.5 hours to Duluth and Lake Superior's North Shore, and roughly 3.5 hours to Itasca State Park where you can walk across the Mississippi headwaters. Tell your host your planned route before booking so they can match you with the right mileage package.
dnr.state.mn.us/state_parks/park.html?id=spk00181Where are the best campgrounds near Shoreview, MN?
You're spoiled for choice when it comes to RV camping in Shoreview. Some of the best campgrounds near Shoreview, MN include William O'Brien State Park (about 30 minutes east on the St. Croix River with electric sites and a swimming beach), Bunker Hills Regional Park in Andover (full-hookup sites and a wave pool, 20 minutes northwest), Lake Elmo Park Reserve (35 minutes southeast with electric sites and prairie trails), Wild River State Park in Center City (about an hour north), and Minneapolis Northwest KOA in Maple Grove for full hookups close to the city. Reserve early for summer weekends and arrive before sunset to enjoy the lakes.
dnr.state.mn.us/state_parks/park.html?id=spk00269When is the best time to visit Shoreview for an RV trip?
Late May through early October is prime season for an RV road trip from Shoreview, with each stretch offering something different. June and July average highs of 80 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit and warm lake-swim temperatures, August brings the Minnesota State Fair just minutes away in Falcon Heights, and mid-September to mid-October explodes with red and gold fall colors along the St. Croix. Winters are genuinely cold (often below 0 Fahrenheit in January), but adventurous renters can find four-season RVs with heated tanks for ice-fishing trips on Bald Eagle Lake. Shoulder seasons mean fewer mosquitoes, lower nightly rates, and easier campsite reservations, so plan accordingly.
weather.gov/mpx/I've never rented an RV before. How will I know what I'm doing?
You're in great hands, even if it's your first time renting an RV. Every RVezy host in the Shoreview area provides a full orientation at pickup (typically 30 to 60 minutes) where they walk you through driving tips, leveling, hookups, the propane system, slide-outs, and waste tanks. You can message the host directly from the listing before booking with any question, big or small. For Twin Cities first-timers, hosts often recommend an easy shakedown trip to Lake Elmo Park Reserve or Bunker Hills before tackling a longer haul to Duluth. Add 24/7 RVezy roadside support and a quick-reference cheat sheet, and you'll be road-ready in no time.
dot.state.mn.us/safety/What happens if my motorhome rental breaks down during my Minnesota trip?
You're never on your own. Every motorhome rental in Shoreview booked through RVezy includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the protection plan, so whether you get a flat on I-35 heading toward Duluth or a battery dies at William O'Brien State Park, help is one phone call away. The roadside team coordinates tows, tire service, jump-starts, lockouts, and fuel delivery anywhere in Minnesota and across most of the US. You can also message your host directly through the RVezy app for quick troubleshooting on systems like the generator or fridge. Save the support number in your phone before you pull away, and travel relaxed.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Shoreview RV rental across state lines or into Canada?
Yes, most RVezy rentals are road-trip ready for the Lower 48, which makes an RV road trip from Shoreview a fantastic launch point for the upper Midwest. Popular cross-state runs include Wisconsin Dells (about 4 hours southeast), the Black Hills of South Dakota (10 hours west), and Door County, Wisconsin (6.5 hours east). Crossing into Canada (Ontario or Manitoba via the I-29/I-94 corridor) is allowed by some hosts with advance approval and the right insurance documentation, so just message them before booking. One important note: travel into Mexico is not permitted on RVezy rentals because the insurance doesn't extend there. Confirm your route with your host, then plan away.
cbp.gov/travel/us-citizens/know-before-you-goWhat kind of fuel mileage and gas budget should I expect for an RV trip from Shoreview?
Fuel is usually the biggest road-trip expense, but it's easy to plan for. Class B campervans average 18 to 22 miles per gallon, Class C motorhomes get 10 to 14 mpg, Class A coaches typically 7 to 10 mpg, and travel trailers depend on your tow vehicle (usually 10 to 14 mpg). Minnesota gas prices in the Twin Cities tend to run a bit below the national average, with regular and diesel widely available at Holiday, Kwik Trip, and Costco in Maplewood and Roseville. A round-trip to Duluth (about 310 miles total) in a Class C runs roughly $80 to $110 in fuel. Fill up before leaving the metro for the best price.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book campgrounds near Shoreview?
Booking early is the single biggest unlock for a stress-free trip. Minnesota state park campsites (including William O'Brien, Wild River, and Afton) are reservable through the Minnesota DNR reservation system, and you can book up to 120 days in advance. For summer weekends and fall-color trips in late September, sites at popular parks vanish within minutes of opening, so set a calendar reminder for the exact morning your window opens. Private parks like Minneapolis Northwest KOA take reservations year-round. Same-day reservations are sometimes available if you're spontaneous, which is a fun Friday morning move.
dnr.state.mn.us/state_parks/reservations.htmlWhat are driving conditions like around Shoreview and the Twin Cities?
Driving an RV in and out of Shoreview is very manageable thanks to wide highways and predictable terrain. The metro sits at the junction of I-35W, I-35E, I-694, and Highway 10, so plan to leave outside of rush hour (avoid 7 to 9 a.m. and 4 to 6 p.m. on weekdays) for a relaxed start. Watch for low clearances on a few older parkways in Minneapolis and St. Paul (Summit Avenue is best avoided in a tall Class A). Winter brings snow and ice from November through March, and summer thunderstorms can pop up fast. Check 511mn.org before rolling out for live road conditions and construction.
511mn.org/What amenities and dump stations should I expect at campgrounds near Shoreview?
Most campgrounds within an hour of Shoreview offer the essentials you'd expect, and many go beyond. Minnesota state parks like William O'Brien and Wild River provide electric sites (20/30/50 amp), drinking-water spigots, modern restrooms, showers, and on-site dump stations included with your camping fee. Bunker Hills Regional Park and Lake Elmo Park Reserve add full-hookup sites with sewer at your pad. Need a dump-only stop? Bunker Hills Regional Park in Andover and several Holiday stations in the north metro offer public dump stations. Fill your fresh-water tank before leaving the host's home, and you'll be ready for anything Minnesota throws at you.
dnr.state.mn.us/state_parks/camping/index.htmlWhat's actually inside a typical campervan or motorhome rental in Shoreview?
You'll be surprised how loaded most rigs are. A campervan rental in Shoreview (Class B) usually sleeps two with a kitchenette, fridge, sink, propane stove, and a wet bath. Class C motorhomes sleep four to seven, with a full kitchen, bathroom with shower, queen bed, dinette, plus seatbelted seating for travel. Larger Class A coaches and fifth wheels often add slide-outs, washer/dryer, smart TVs, and onboard generators. Most listings on RVezy include linens, cookware, an outdoor chair set, and a backup camera, and many offer Wi-Fi hotspots as an add-on. Check the listing's amenities list and message the host if you need a specific item before your trip.
nhtsa.gov/road-safety/rv-safetyWhat add-ons and pickup options are available with my Shoreview RV rental?
You can customize your trip with popular add-ons that make life easier on the road. Common extras from Shoreview-area hosts include kitchen kits, bedding bundles, camp chairs and tables, bike racks, portable Wi-Fi hotspots, generators, and propane fire pits, typically $10 to $50 each. Many hosts also offer pre-stocked starter packs (paper towels, dish soap, coffee) so you can roll out of the driveway and head straight to William O'Brien. For pickup, you'll usually meet the host at their home in the north metro or arrange delivery for a per-mile fee. Mileage policies vary by listing, but messaging the host before booking gets you a tailored quote fast.
dot.state.mn.us/cvo/How does payment and the security deposit work when I rent an RV in Shoreview?
Payment is straightforward and secure through the RVezy platform. When you book, you'll pay your rental total (plus any add-ons, delivery, and your chosen protection plan) by credit or debit card right through the app, so there's no cash changing hands at pickup. A refundable security deposit hold is placed on your card before your trip, typically $500 to $1,500 depending on the RV class, and it's released after the trip ends assuming the RV comes back in the same condition. Quick tip for a smooth return: take time-stamped photos at pickup and dropoff, follow the host's fuel and waste-tank instructions, and you'll have your deposit back in days.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksIs winter RV rental in Shoreview really an option?
It sure is, and it's a uniquely Minnesotan adventure. Several Shoreview-area hosts list four-season RVs with heated holding tanks, enclosed underbellies, and high-output furnaces, perfect for ice-fishing weekends on Bald Eagle, Lake Vadnais, or White Bear Lake. Plug into shore power at year-round parks like Jay Cooke State Park near Duluth or use the RV as a warm basecamp at the St. Paul Winter Carnival in late January. Daytime highs from December through February average roughly 20 to 30 degrees Fahrenheit, so skirting, tank antifreeze, and a backup space heater are smart moves. Message your host about cold-weather prep, and bundle up for an unforgettable trip.
