Water Hookup

2+ acres to spread out.  RV in the picture is not included and is only shown for example purposes.

Lower Elk Lake - Full RV Hookup

Enjoy a spacious 2-acre lakefront RV site in a natural Minnesota setting, perfect for spreading out and relaxing. The property sits along a quiet, dead-end gravel road, just a short drive from a paved county highway.
Please note: The lake bay directly connected to the site is shallow and weedy, so swimming is not recommended, and fishing from the shore or dock may be challenging. However, the scenic lake views and gentle slope to the water make this an ideal setting for your RV retreat.
Location Reference:
    • ~25 miles west of Alexandria, MN
    • ~90 miles northwest of St. Cloud, MN
    • ~155 miles northwest of Minneapolis, MN
    • ~95 miles southeast of Fargo, ND

What You’ll Find Here:
    • Full RV hookups including 30-amp (220V) and 20-amp (110V) electrical service, water, and a connection to a sewage holding tank.
    • Mostly open, grassy lot with full sun exposure and a few small trees along the perimeter.
    • Located ½ mile off a paved county road, with minimal traffic on a dead-end gravel road.
    • Small dock provided. The shallow bay may be suitable for small boats, but water levels vary and larger boats may have difficulty. Public boat launch is 1 mile away.
    • Swimming is not ideal from the property, but a well-maintained public beach is just 1 mile away on a neighboring lake.
    • A paved bike trail is ½ mile away, offering access to the beach and nearby town.
    • Fire ring provided. Firewood is available as an optional add-on.

Swan Lake Resort & Campground

⛺️ Since 1949, we've been a family-operated resort & campground on Swan Lake in Fergus Falls, MN. We offer lakeside cabins, tent camping, and full hook-up, pull-through RV sites. Here, there is time to slow down, room to breathe, and lots to explore.

🏖️ Soak up the sun on the sandy beach, hike through the hidden trails, and take the pontoon out for a cruise. Be sure to turn the tech off and challenge a rival to ping pong, crack a cold one, and explore the water on stand-up paddleboard. 

🍦 Bring the little ones and get messy at the arts & crafts table, catch a sunfish off the docks, and indulge in s’mores around the campfire. Don’t forget to show us what you got on the volleyball court and savor an ice cream at the camp store. Curl up in a hammock and get lost in a good book, smile at the flowers and gaze in awe at the night sky. Just be.
