Best Time to Camp at Sherlock Park Campground

The campground operates seasonally, with opening and closing dates that shift with the Red River's temperament—particularly during spring when snowmelt can bring dramatic water level changes. Plan your visit for summer and early fall when conditions are most reliable, and always check current status before arriving, as Mother Nature keeps the final say on the riverside schedule.

Best
Summer(Jun-Aug)
4.0 / 5

Nearby pool, greenways and urban amenities make summer stays attractive and comfortable.

Fall(Sep-Nov)
3.0 / 5

Pleasant greenway and river scenery in fall likely, but no specific fall foliage notes.

Spring(Mar-May)
2.0 / 5

Spring flooding of the Red and Red Lake Rivers is noted and can impact campground usability.

Winter(Dec-Feb)
2.0 / 5

Minnesota winters can be harsh; no winter amenities noted and urban setting limits winter-sport appeal.

Planning Tips
  • Operating Season: Seasonal — opening and closing dates vary by campground. Check the campground webpage or contact the managing unit for specific dates.
