    Does anyone have any info. on resorts near Lake Pepin where a person can rent a spot on a yearly basis to place a 32 ft camper. There are many of these up North on the lakes but can not find any info. for Lake Pepin.

    Warriorgus,

    That is a tough one. Since most of the land along the Mississippi is owned by the federal government and they discourage any development, there aren’t many resorts or campgrounds along the river. I do know of a couple in Wabasha.

    This one is owned by the city and I know they rent to campers on a yearly basis.

    Mississippi Parkside Marina

    829 3 St W WABASHA MN 55981-1117 (651) 565-3809

    This one is privately owned (I think) and they at least used to rent, but I don’t know anyone in this one at this time:

    Wabasha Marina Boatyard

    1009 Main St E WABASHA MN 55981-1468 (651) 565-4747

    Both of these are about 5 miles south of Pepin.

    I don’t know much about these two in Lake City, but they are right on Pepin:

    PLOTE ACRES CAMPGROUND

    RR 1 BOX 174 LAKE CITY MN 55041-9383 (651) 345-3056

    LAKE PEPIN CAMPGROUNDS & TRLR

    1818 N HIGH ST LAKE CITY MN 55041-9048 (651) 345-2909

    These are at least a place to start.

    Pete,

    Thanks for the info. I agree it is a tough one. I have been looking for a while and this is the best info. I have received yet.

    You are welcome. There is one other place that I know of, but I didn’t mention it because it is quite a way (~12 miles south) from Pepin. That one is:

    Pioneer Camp Site

    130 Pioneer Dr WABASHA MN 55981-3214 (651) 565-2242

    The up side of this place is that I am pretty sure it has some open spots and is a true campground with a pool, small store, etc. (nice if you have kids).

    The down side is that it is not on the water. There is a public access access the road to the Finger Lakes area below the Alma dam, but there is not main channel access from that area. The closest landing is about 1 1/2 miles up the road. It is ~ 7 miles south of Wabasha.

    I’m sure there are other places north of Lake City or on the Wisc side, but I’m not familiar with them.

    Pete
