Overview

300 N Rum River Dr., Princeton, MN, 55371

Located in Princeton, Minnesota, the main feature of Riverside Park is the camping! The campground has 8 back-in sites with both 30 amp and 50 amp power that support water hookups (sewer not available). There are three primitive tent camping sites available with no hookups or electric for those seeking something a little more different. In 2018, a new shower/restroom building was constructed which our visitors can use as they please! Riverside Park features amenities such as picnic shelter and tables, barbecues, playground equipment and an all-purpose sports field. The park is located on the Scenic Rum River featuring a canoe and kayak launch. While you're here feel free to drop a line and do some fishing! The swim area is located at the north end of the park. Across the river from the campground there is a dog park for your favorite pet to enjoy the scenery leash free. If you are seeking some weekend fun, we now feature canoeing and kayaking all summer long! Whether its for a short and or long term stay, we hope to see you soon!

Pretty area, bathrooms could use a bit of cleaning, but I believe since in a city park, the general area can use bathrooms too. It's on the end of city, so you have some traffic noise. But, overall, nice and was convenient for us!

The park itself over all was ok. What concerned us most were the drug deals, homelessness and constant drive throughs by the same vehicles that weren't even staying there. At times we felt very unsafe, but the cops did drive in once in a while. All in all, the park was was fine, just don't leave any belongings out unattended. Princeton needs to clean up its riff raff.

Nice well kept park. We had the end spot right next to the trail and some great open space. We heard the bathrooms & showers were clean & nice from our camp neighbors. We were in town all week for my father's funeral and were really pleased this park was available for our bigger rig. the park employees were there often and law enforcement came through regularly. We were thrilled to be so close to everything and felt safe.

A motorhome was in our reserved spot #6 with no one seen all weekend at the camper or anyone checking paperwork. Spot 3 has low spot with water drain. Restroom facilities are nice. Location is great!

It was nice and clean when we arrived on Friday, but by Sunday it was nasty. A lot of homeless/vagrants in the area that came up to the campsite begging/panhandling. Also saw many drug deals in the park area while our kids were playing. I would suggest more police patrolling that area.

first and foremost walking down the trail there was dog poop sitting right in the middle of it. Then we got to our tent site and there was glass (BIG PIECES) laying all over it and trash laying all around... It also looks like that area does not get any attention from the city at all There was barely any room to put a tent we had to set our tent up on broken pieces of glass and weeds that had roots so when we walked in the tent we were stepping on these hard roots.. Friday night there was some shady stuff happening in the parking lot of the dog park that really made myself and my 11 year old daughter very uncomfortable. I understand it is a public park but why would the cops in that town not patrol it a little better. Also by the big chair there was big pieces of glass! We did go down the river and that was enjoyable and the kids really liked the sandbar and went swimming there for a bit, But overall we were not impressed by the upkeep at all

This is a beautiful park. It's to bad that it is just not comfortable staying here with all of the rif raf that hangs out here all hours of the day and night. Feels like drugs are a factor here got approached twice by people just wondering through the park that were definitely high on something- Once at 10:00 at night and once at 8:00 in the morning! Will not stay here again too bad.

Clean and welcoming. The steps had nice gravel driveways, good fire rings and grass areas. It has beautiful paved walkways along the river and a sandy beach. Being in the town of Princeton, and on Mainstreet, it does have traffic noise, which I muffled with ear plugs and had a 2 good night’s sleep! There is a camp host and Public Works Director that are professional, available and very accommodating!

We like this campground but a camper was in our space on Saturday when we arrived. The grounds keeper had to have the camper move so we didn’t get to park until much later.

We were in Princeton for a baseball tournament in Zimmerman. This was a perfect little campground! It was a 100* day while we were camping. The kids could swim, enjoy the rope swing, and play on the playground. The site was big enough that we did not feel like we were on top of our neighbors. It was perfect!

I have been there 2 times and both times I had to wait for and ask other campers to help me move a picnic table to my spot. They are heavy & I cannot move it with just me & my child. It would be nice if Bob could make sure each spot has it's picnic table.

Noisy and crowded. The local yahoos are racing their go-loud pickup trucks all night. The water hookup leaks. The bathrooms were muddy. Find another place, I suggest.

This is a nice campground except for the noise. It was the worst night sleep ever. Cars driving through the campground, people yelling, the noise from the pizza bar. The bathrooms could have been cleaner. Always wet and sandy. Barely saw the camp hostess. We did appreciate the police driving through occasionally.

Place smelled like a swamp. Non stop parade of people driving through starring at you or stopping in to crap in the toilets and plugging them up. Worst part some drunken ass drove through in the middle of the night and ran into my truck. Place should not be open at night for people to drive through. I’ll never go there again!
