When was Travelers Country Club built?

The idea for Travelers Country Club on the Mississippi came about from a vision shared by three park developers who wanted to establish an RV park in the Clearwater Minnesota area. Initial construction started in 1978 and was finished in 1979. Since then, improvements have been made throughout the Park to enhance its value.

Is the park open year around?

The park generally is a six-month park, open from April 15th to October 15th when the water is shut off for the winter. It is around this time that we can have our first frost and when you will see our snowbirds head south.

Only the park managers live in the park during the winter. They maintain the streets and secure the park.

Do members use that park as a summer home?

Yes.  Approximately 100 units are utilized as summer homes by our full-time residents. The rest are used as vacation retreats by our "weekenders". We have a nice blend of retirees and young families.

What else is there to do in the park?

There is good fishing on the Mississippi River. Members have reported catching small mouth bass, walleye, northern pike and muskie as well as pan fish off the boat dock. This area of the Mississippi is known to produce some of the best small mouth bass in Minnesota.

There are facilities for socializing.  Members can reserve the activity building to entertain family and friends. On some weekends a cry of "Bingo!" can be heard. No food is served at the clubhouse but there is a kitchen in the activity building where members can prepare and serve food for special events. At the clubhouse, members gather to play cards, read books and do jigsaw puzzles.

For those who like to swim, there is a large pool and kiddies pool. On hot summer days members can be seen lounging around the pool or cooling off in the deep end.  We have even included a special "adults only" time from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. Normal pool dates are Memorial Day to Labor Day.

There is Shuffleboard. We just installed a nice court on the 2nd tennis court area.
