Cute little campground!! 15 minutes from Red Wing, MN. All camp spots have water, sewer and 30 Amp electric. They are placed close together but not a problem and our neighbors were super nice! Dog friendly just have to have them on a leash at all times. There is a new shower/ bath house over by the swim beach. The caretakers Steve and Penny are super nice and very helpful and all around great people!!! Super easy to talk too and make you feel right at home!!! Had a wonderful time minus the rain showers on and off lol but if you are a true camper it wouldnt bother you at all and you make the best of it which we did!!! We would definitely come here again!!!

Great place to stay. Beautiful views of the Mississippi. The campsites are a bit tight, lacking much privacy but located on a beautiful peninsula. The picnic shelter next to the campsites has electricity (a real bonus!) and lots of tables. The bathrooms are new and clean. If you want a shower is costs 4 quarters for 5 min. You have to pay for your campsite in cash in a Dropbox - bring cash along! A bit noisy at night, the campsites are located near a parking lot. Noise also echos across the lake so you can hear the trains in red wing during the night. Also many fishing/hunting boats would leave around 3am near our tents. Bob is very friendly and helpful and will check in to make sure you have what you need! Would definitely recommend Bay City campground!

Nice place. Great beach. Nice bathrooms. Caretaker Bob was great! Tent area is cool. But sites are close together and it's a narrow spot so you litteraly have to walk through people's campsite to walk to bathroom. But not a huge deal.

I really liked this place. It's right on the Bay, has a boat launch and beach access. It's very low tech - cash only in a drop box. It's also pretty affordable with pricing close to State Park pricing. The camp host is super friendly and very helpful. There's definitely a feel of community, people living here seasonally or full time. There's a little swing set on site and a bigger playground down the road. It's a little loosey goosey with leash rules, which I liked, because it meant my dog could play in the water, but some people may not like that. Full hook ups was nice too. It's only 20 minutes from Red Wing if you want to do any shopping or if you forget anything.

Very nice host, very helpful. Campsites were perfect, apparently just added over the summer. Bathhouse was kept clean and was in good order, showers use quarters to make them work, but nice and clean.
