West Forty RV Park and Campground

Gilbert is Minnesota's Off-Road Capital and your starting point for new adventures. Enjoy 40 acres of private, wooded land with direct access to local trails.

The Campground

West Forty isn't just a place to sleep—it's part of the adventure. Located directly on the eastern face of the Laurentian Divide, surrounded by wooded lands, our campground provides a wide variety of options for every style of camping.

West Forty has 26 drive-through full-hookup campsites, 8 back-in full-hookup sites, 6 dedicated tent/group tent sites, a two-camper group site which includes full use of the campground's pavilion, 2 glamping tent-cabins, a rental camper, and 14 back-in sites for smaller campers with a variety of electric and water/sewer options. Our new restroom and shower facility is one of the cleanest you'll find in the area. With a total of 58 campsites it's the third largest campground on the east Iron Range area with the most drive-through, full-hookup options for campers.

And our direct trail access means you can roll out of bed, grab your coffee, and be on the trails in minutes. No trailers to load, no shuttles to catch—just pure convenience wrapped in rustic luxury.
