The best camping near Boyden with fishing

·

Boyden packs in over 560 fishing-friendly campsites, so anglers have choices—from riverside plots to quiet lakeside clearings. The average night runs about $35, but you can snag a spot for as low as $25. Campsites here often come with showers, pet access, and toilets, so you won’t have to rough it. If you’re after solid reviews, check out River Road Campground Luverne (236 reviews), Edge Hill (20 reviews), or Lutheran Lakeside Camp (19 reviews). Along with fishing, locals spend their days climbing and hiking—bring sturdy boots and your rod, and you’re set.

We easily located Brian's spot and enjoyed exploring the cute town of Luverne as well as Beaver Creek (The Cidery!) as well as Sioux Falls. For larger rigs I would recommend spots 1 or 2. We ended up in spot 4 and we fit in it just fine, but we're not the best at backing up and it took us several tries due to the angle. (That's on us, not Brian!)

We stayed here twice- once on our way west and again on our way back home. Sites are mostly level and very easy to get into. It's extremely affordable for the amenities provided and a great option for a place to rest for the night. It'll definitely stay on our list as a stopover for future trips out west.

Weekend Trip to River Road Campground Luverne
This stop was just a quick overnight on our journey eastbound. We fell in love with the neighboring town (Luverne, MN). The town is quaint and loaded with things to do and see. One of the town’s paved bike trails even connects the campground to town and passes through a beautiful town park, the Rocky River and a grassy field. The campground was quiet with a forest on one side and a field on the other, and the campground was quick to respond to questions. The campground is pretty close to I-90 but you couldn’t hear any highway noise.
