Jackson, Minnesota Campground | Jackson KOA Journey

The Jackson Minnesota KOA makes the perfect place to stop. Right in the heart of southern Minnesota, halfway between Chicago and Mount Rushmore.

Nestled halfway between Chicago and Mount Rushmore and only a half-day's drive to the Badlands or Wisconsin Dells, the Jackson KOA campground is a great place to stay for the night or for a few days. With easy access to I-90, this Southern Minnesota KOA makes it a breeze to get you back on the road. We have a site for any kind of camper; choose a tent area with grills, a one- or two-room Camping Cabin or a long, level Pull-Thru RV Site. Enjoy a cold slushy or grab your favorite treat from our camp store as you check into your site. Our beautiful pavilion has lots of space for family games, great conversation and hosts many activities! The heated pool, bean bags, horseshoe pits, playground and mini golf keep campers entertained - along with ice cream socials and other fun events. This KOA is close to great fishing and water skiing lakes as well. The Jackson Motorplex (World of Outlaws), golf courses and restaurants are an added bonus to our location. We can't forget about our furry friends, be sure to check out our KAMP K9. Free WiFi is also available!
Pool: Memorial Weekend - Labor Day Weekend.
Max pull thru: 108 feet.
Your hosts: Harry and Michelle Knutson

1 night stay while traveling. Site was spacious, gravel and level, full-hookups, easy access from interstate. End of season so no activities but fine for an overnight. New Owners were friendly and helpful with restaurant suggestions... 10/13/2021

We stayed overnight in a Motorhome. Our site was very nice. It was level and long enough for our tow vehicle. The laundry, showers and bathroom were very nice and clean. The owners were very friendly. We would definitely stay there again if we are back in the area. 10/13/2021
