The campground is owned by the city of Windom. The nightly charge for camping is only $10.00. A self registration box is available for campers at the campground entrance. Payment is by the honor system. It is located along the Des Moines River with good fishing. Camping facilities at Island Park provide electric hook-ups for 10 campers. The sites are available on a first-come first-served basis.
The campground is monitored daily by Parks & City Police Staff. All people camping must provide their personnel information, how long they’re staying, vehicle license number, along with the appropriate camping fees in the envelope that is provided in the brown registration box. When the person camping has completed their registration. Remove the site tab off the envelope and deposit the envelope with fees in the orange box in the registration area. Then place the site tab portion of the envelope on the camp site post.
The park includes a lighted athletic field for all school football, baseball events and city baseball games, two lighted softball fields, lighted horseshoe courts, picnic area, large shelter-house with tables and free electricity for cooking, playground equipment, restrooms and an outdoor pool. Entrance on Hwy. 62 & 4th Ave.
It's your basic small town park next to a baseball diamond with incredibly bright lights. They played until around 10pm, but after that the lights went out. It stormed like crazy at night and the camping area turned into a lake, so careful where you pitch your tent.
The showers are open air showers at the swimming pool. You will be showering with everybody else, so bring trunks/bathing suit if you're squeamish with such things. The gal running the pool wasn't aware that campers could even use the showers, but she let us do it anyway.
Stayed here with a passenger vehicle and a tent. hercandsmartz would stay here again.
A nice little camping spot along the Des Moines river.

The fee is still $10. There's also FREE WIFI with good reception. The showers are only available when the pool is open. There were 2 other campers here besides me and we weren't crowded. I think it could be somewhat crowded if there are more than 5 campers. It looks like 2 campers share a campsite (or maybe the campsites are just small) although each camper has their own electric box.
Stayed here in a 20 foot-long Passenger Vehicle. SimplyConnie would stay here again.

Camping near you. Find a Free Campsite
Whether you just need to know where to camp nearby or you want to plan a free camping road trip, we've got you covered. You can simply use your smart phone's GPS to find camping near you or even use our trip planner to plan your route from coast to coast.
Our community provides the best free camping information available. Free campgrounds can be hard to find. Freecampsites.net makes it easy. We give you a simple, map based search engine to find free and cheap camping areas. Community reviews and ratings provide you with up to date information and help you select the best camp site for your next camping trip.
This is a platform for sharing campgrounds and camp sites you have discovered. We are community driven, and while we will be adding many free camping spots, we hope that you will add some of your favorite camping places as well. By sharing camping information freely, we can all spend less time researching campgrounds, spend less money, and more time camping. If everyone contributes a few campsites, we'll all have more places to go camping.
Please come back and let us know what you find! User reviews help other campers decide on their next camping destination. The more information you have, the more informed your decisions.
Whether you enjoy tent camping, car camping or RV camping, our goal is to help you find the best places to go camping. We believe that free camping areas are often the most beautiful and peaceful camp sites. Our focus is on public lands. You own these lands and you are entitled to use them. We especially like camping on Forest Service land, BLM (Bureau of Land Management) areas, WMA's (Wildlife Management Areas) and county or city parks. We hope you enjoy the same style of camping.
We are not actively seeking Wal-Marts, truckstops or other parking lots and will not be adding very many of these. There are enough Wal-Mart and truck stop directories out there already. However, if a member of the community finds one of these locations to be useful for overnight RV parking and creates an entry, we may approve the listing.
