✨ Dreaming about next year’s family getaway or group adventure? Why not start planning somewhere that’s all about river fun, fresh air, and making memories together? 🏕️🚣‍♀️

Just two miles from downtown Lanesboro, Eagle Cliff Campground and Lodge offers a welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere with spacious campsites, group areas for reunions, a playground, themed weekends, and on-site outfitting for tubing, kayaking, and biking the Root River Trail. From lazy river floats to evenings around the campfire, it’s the kind of place families and friends return to year after year.
