Affordable and well-run, even on a low-occupancy Monday. They even provided free firewood at the tent site. Be sure to check out their cabins. They look really cute and comfy. Only downside, tenting, is that due to Hwy 6 construction, lots of detour traffic goes right by Red Rider. Kinda noisy, but didn't disturb my sleep after 7 hours pounding the Cuyuna Bike Trails!

If you have a travel trailer, pop-up or 5th wheel this place will fit you. You would feel out of place in a tent. All the sites are nice and green with grass. Firewood that you buy here is top notch. Almost all oak and dry. Wonderful campfires. The owners are VERY strict on the 5 MPH speed limit. So don't speed. Nice little pool, and a hot tub for adults only. Lake Ann is near by but you have to leave the RV park and drive there. We would go back again for a weekend camping trip as it is less then then an hour from Anoka, MN.

Our goal here is not to bash management of Birch Bay RV Park, but to rather provide you our…read moreexperience, so you can make an informed decision about where you want to spend your precious summer weekends you work so hard all week to enjoy. If you are looking for a fun seasonal campground, I would strongly urge against staying here. The management has control issues, are very rude most of the time, and they will charge you extra for everything possible. We were on our 2nd season staying here as Full Time RVers. We have traveled to numerous campgrounds for weeks to months at a time, and have never been treated so poorly as we were at Birch Bay. Knowing that we lived there (and it was our home location), they kicked us out mid-season, giving us a week to leave without discussion. This, for doing absolutely NOTHING against the rules. We were up singing around a campfire with many friends (from the campground) on a Saturday night, up until quiet time, which was 11 PM at this time (as read in our contract. I see now that they have changed that to 10:30pm). At 10:59 PM the music was shut off. At 11:02, management called our cell phone and said, "Party is over...meet me in the office at 9AM", where they proceeded to say we needed to leave and had a week to do so. The last comment made from management was to "make sure your friends knew you are taking the fall!" Who does this?! A couple hours later, management did come back and offer us a different site back in the woods, but again, made a comment about making sure our friends stay away! So, not only did they kick us out without talking about noise levels acceptable during normal hours, they then wanted to control who and how many friends we hung out with! We left the next day! I wouldn't recommend this campground to my worst enemy. If you like to be controlled and treated poorly, this may be the campground for you. I know they will come back with a rebuttal as they always do too turn the blame against the camper, but how many times can they do this too campers before people see right through them.

The location and overall grounds are nice and well kept, but way too much 'bling' (statues,…read moreknick-knacks, etc). Way overdone to the point that it's cluttered. There's an overall mindset amongst seasonals to 'keep up with the Jones' with respect to yard appearance, RV's, trailers, etc. I was a seasonal for three years, and ultimately the last straw was when it was suggested to me that I don't return the next season unless I upgraded my 28 foot travel trailer to something newer, because it didn't fit the look and feel of the place (apparently something older than 7 years wasn't good enough?). Also, management is very good at one thing: watching everyone like a hawk. If you want to always feel like you're every move is being scrutinized, this is the place for you!

Played it in July 2025, and I was shocked at how poor shape it is in. Many holes have ground under repair. Many holes had a lot of standing water on it, even though it hadn't rained in several days. The tee boxes are in bad shape. The grass on the greens is too long and bumpy. To drive up from St. Paul, and to get this experience, it's highly unlikely I'll play here again, which is a shame since I had great experiences in the past.
