About
West Forty RV Park is a family-owned campground with a range of options including standard RV sites, big rig-friendly sites, small camper sites and tent sites. Both drive-through and back-in site options are available. Most camper/RV sites have full utility hookups.
Every site includes a picnic table and fire pit. Other campground amenities include bathroom/shower facilities (new building under construction), free overflow parking, Wi-Fi access, an ATV/OHV washing station, free air, a pre-ride staging area, electric vehicle (EV) charging, camp store, ice, firewood, propane tank exchange on-site, and rental games for your convenience.
The campground has easy access to the Mesabi Trail, Iron Range OHV/ATV Park and nearby Mesabi Mountain Trail for your off-road adventures. Both Ely Lake and Lake Ore-Be-Gone are just 1.5 miles away.
We have three exclusive tent sites, two group tent sites (up to six tents per group site) and five additional tent/small camper sites that border the woods. Some have electric and others are rustic. All tent sites have nearby water for cooking and the showers/restrooms are just a short walk. Each site includes a fire ring and picnic tables.
