Welcome to Collinwood Regional Park & Campground, a serene getaway nestled in the heart of Cokato, Minnesota. This expansive park offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and modern amenities, making it an ideal destination for campers, hikers, and families looking to reconnect with nature.
The park features miles of walking and hiking trails, allowing visitors to explore the lush surroundings. However, be prepared for muddy conditions, especially after recent rainfall, as the trails contain a lot of clay. The park also boasts a well-maintained playground and picnic facilities, perfect for a family day out.
For campers, Collinwood Regional Park offers a variety of sites to suit different needs. The numbered sites are shaded by trees, making them great for smaller units, while the alphabet sites are more spacious and better suited for larger RVs, though they lack tree cover. The campground provides essential amenities, including bathrooms with warm water, though it may not be as hot as some would prefer.
While the park's lake is a scenic spot, visitors should be cautious about swimming, especially later in the season when algae blooms can occur. Despite this, the lake adds to the park's charm and offers a peaceful backdrop for your stay.
Collinwood Regional Park & Campground is open daily from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM, providing ample time for visitors to enjoy all that the park has to offer. Whether you're looking for a weekend escape or a longer stay, this campground is a fantastic choice for anyone seeking adventure and relaxation in a natural setting.

Miles of walking/hiking to be had. If there's been any recent moisture, wear shoes you don't mind getting *extremely* muddy. (Lots of clay on most of the trails. Nice playground/picnic facilities, but don't swim in the lake unless you like algae bloom on/in your skin. 🧟♂️🤢
Numbered sites are tree's, but questionable for larger units, there are a few pull through sites. Alphabet sites are great for large units, but no trees. Bathroom hot water is like warm. Lake is green late in the season and I would not swim in it. Not sure the lake quality earlier.
Great, well kept campground. We stayed in the upper part, sites 36-38 for our group, and they are all pull through. All the roads are paved and the sites have a nice gravel area for a floor mat and chairs. Fire pits we large with plenty of space to sit around. Lots of space on the sites and the center by sites 36 & 38 had a little sandbox for the kids to play. Nice and clean bathrooms but only one shower stall for each men and women. The shower stall was very large with plenty of space for towel and toiletries. The lower portion is newer and has no shade, but is close to the park and beach. The beach is a huge sandy area with a large space to swim. The playground is huge with lots of slides and things to climb. The kids wanted to stay at the playground all day. We also checked out the Wright County trail system that begins and ends at the park. If you weave all though the woods it is about 3.5 miles. We took the outer ring of the trails and ended up about 2.5 miles. Nicely groomed trails but there were some steep hills and uneven terrain. Really nice views though-out and would love to come back in the fall.
Beautiful lake setting. Campground was nice, plenty of space. Dogs loved the walked. Easy to get in/get out. Short drive to Cakato.
I rent out the pavilion every year for my son's birthday! It's a perfect place! Nice pavilion... Decent price.... Playground... Sandy Beach... It's perfect! Everyone enjoys it! Minus the mini biff. If it had a solid restroom with running water it would get 5 ⭐'s
