INSTRUCTIONS FOR ARRIVAL AT CAMP RIPLEY
1. TRAFFIC & PRE-ENTRY PARKING INSTRUCTIONS: In order to facilitate efficient and safe movement of traffic for
bow hunters and other motorists using the roadways in the area of Camp Ripley, please adhere to the following (traffic control
officers will be patrolling the area):
Do not arrive or line up anywhere on public roads outside of Camp before 5:00 a.m. the day preceding your hunt!
After 5:00 a.m. the day before your hunt, you may stage on CR76 north and south of MN Hwy 115. DO NOT stage or park
on MN Hwy 115, CR47 or MN Hwy 371 at any time! In no event can any vehicle block the movement of traffic at the
interchange of MN Hwy 115 and MN Hwy 371. A traffic control officer at the intersection of CR76 and MN Hwy 115 will
alternate the flow of traffic onto MN Hwy 115 after 5:00 a.m. As directed, hunters can then drive onto MN Hwy 115 and
enter the east railroad gate to Camp Ripley.
If you are arriving from the south, take MN Hwy 371 north of Little Falls to the CR46 exit. Go two blocks west on CR46 and
then turn north onto CR76 and stage on the right shoulder of CR76 south of MN Hwy 115. If you are coming from the north
on MN Hwy 371, exit at CR48, and go west and then immediately south on CR76 (parallels MN Hwy 371 and serves as a
frontage road) and stage on the right shoulder north of MN Hwy 115. Hunters coming from the west on MN Hwy 115 or east
on CR47 must plan accordingly and also stage or park on CR76.
Do not block driveways or turn lanes, and allow plenty of space around these areas. CAUTION: Parking on the shoulder is
dangerous due to risk of collision with vehicles operating at highway speeds. Be careful, and use extreme vigilance when
parking and moving around parked vehicles on the shoulder.
2. No person other than those in possession of a valid Camp Ripley archery permit and a Minnesota archery license will be
authorized entry into Camp Ripley during the hunt. PETS, FIREARMS & ATVs are NOT allowed at Camp Ripley.
3. Enter and exit Camp Ripley only through the Railroad Security Gate by the Mississippi River Bridge on Highway 115. Do not
arrive or line up outside the railroad gate until directed by traffic control officers! NEW FOR 2009: An entrance fee
of $10.00 per vehicle will be collected by the military at the railroad gate to offset traffic management, security, range
patrol, and road maintenance costs associated with the hunt. At discretion of traffic management officers, if parked vehicles
back up too much on CR76 prior to the posted arrival time, those vehicles will be forced to leave the area or enter Camp
Ripley. Those vehicles entering Camp Ripley prior to the posted arrival time will be charged a $30.00 entrance fee.
Only cash or checks will be accepted, and checks must be made payable to the Camp Ripley Mess Fund. After paying
the entrance fee, each vehicle will receive a validation that must remain visible when exiting and re-entering the installation.
Station (see rule 8 below regarding campers & trailers in line). No saving places or butting in the entry-line. If caught
butting in line, you will be escorted to the end or detained until the line is completely checked through.
and they did absolutely nothing to all the early arrivers… I can still see alot of guys figuring an extra $20 is no big deal, to get your spot in the morning… 
Wish they would make it like $200….
