The best river, stream, or creek campgrounds near Morris, Minnesota

River camping in Morris puts you close to the water and even closer to the action. With over 130 riverside camping options, you can snag a spot where you’ll hear the current at night and cast a line by sunrise. Average sites go for $30 a night, but you’ll find some tucked-away gems as low as $15. Campsites like The Auntie's Grove at Moonstone (48 reviews), Moon valley camping (7 reviews), and Swift Falls County Park (4 reviews) keep campers coming back for easy river access, clear skies, and quiet mornings. Most spots welcome pets, allow campfires, and have showers, so you don’t have to rough it. Bring your fishing rod or binoculars—locals know these banks are packed with trout and waterfowl. When the snow hits, swap boots for snowshoes and keep your eyes peeled for deer tracks along the bank.

Awesome little pull in campsite. Audrey was very nice and helpful! Beautiful land/space she has created. Especially the beach just a short walk from the 2 sites. My dog absolutely loved his time there!

1 night at The Auntie's Grove at Moonstone

We couldn't find a single thing to complain about during our stay at Audrey and Richard's farm. This was easily one of the most comfortable, well-organized, and spotless places we visited on our entire cross-country journey from Boston to Seattle. Beyond the beautiful property itself, we were delighted by our conversations with both hosts. They're genuinely fascinating and inquisitive people – the kind you could happily chat with for hours! Their thoughtfulness extended right to our departure, when they sent us off with fresh fruit for the road – such a sweet and generous touch. One night wasn't enough time to fully enjoy such a wonderful place, and we're already planning our return visit.

This was one of the best camping experiences we have ever had. From booking, arriving, & to leaving the Moon Stone Farm, Audrey’s communication was amazing. She made our camping experience so easy! We accidentally forgot to pack butter and sugar, she kindly invited us to her summer kitchen and provided us with everything we needed for our stay. She also gave us fresh herbs and peppers for our supper that night. She would check up from time to time to see if we needed anything. When we where here we rented bikes and enjoyed a nice canoeing experience at her little beach on her land. This place gives such a beautiful zen and peaceful vibe. We would 100% percent visit this place over and over again.

Except for the rain it was fabulous! I don't think there's a bad spot in the campground! The river is really high kids need to be aware of fast moving water.

Nice and Level spot. There is water and Electric. The water looks to be shared with Pole B site, which didn't effect us due to also having family on that space. A little of a jog to the shower/restrooms. We enjoyed our stay.

I loved the private island and area. We enjoyed our stay as we had our own privacy and could fish right by our tent. One thing that we didn't like was that the campground is right next to a graveyard and gave off spooky vibe. Other than that, very nice place.

The land is absolutely beautiful. The pond felt like swimming in a magic hidden grove. The camp fire wood was freshly split and bone dry. Burned long and hot. The only bad thing were the BUGS. Be prepared in every possible way to combat them. We camp a lot and it was probably the worst we have ever encountered. We left a day early because of how much worse the bugs got after a night of rain. The only refuge was inside the hot tent. Richard and Audrey were lovely hosts, checking in with us to make sure we had everything we needed every once in a while. Would highly recommend this stay, but maybe in a less buggy time of year.

The wooden pod was more than I expected! It was cozy, comfortable, and just the right size. I rained the whole time I was there and I was able to relax and read book’s while enjoying the sound of the rain. I will definitely be back for another stay.

We loved it. It's a great little spot for a, quick one or maybe two day get away for some R&R. There's a river that runs thru it, wildlife along the shores. Nice fire pits at the sites. I'd stop here again if we took the same route in the future.
