Quick Overview

New London's RV dump station scene is straightforward but limited, with several stations serving the area and some offering free access. This small central Minnesota community sits in Kandiyohi County, about 90 miles northwest of Minneapolis, making it a convenient stop for RVers traveling between the Twin Cities and western Minnesota's lake country.

The dump stations here are primarily located at private RV parks and campgrounds, reflecting the area's focus on recreational camping rather than commercial travel centers. You'll find sanitary dump station access at established campgrounds that cater to both seasonal and transient RVers. Most facilities offer standard amenities including fresh water fill-ups alongside their RV waste disposal services, though it's worth noting that not all stations provide rinse hoses or potable water connections.

Access to New London is simple via Highway 23, which runs east-west through town, connecting to Highway 9 for north-south travel. The area sees steady RV traffic during summer months as travelers head to nearby Green Lake and the surrounding chain of lakes. Highway 23 offers good RV routing with minimal restrictions, though some of the smaller county roads leading to individual campgrounds can be narrow.

Most dump stations operate seasonally from May through September, with limited winter access due to freezing temperatures. The newer Oak Ridge Campground has recently expanded the area's dumping capacity, providing additional options for RVers who previously had to travel to neighboring communities. Several stations require registration or day-use fees even if you're not camping overnight, so it's smart to call ahead and confirm policies before making the trip.

Traveling to New London by RV

Highway 23 serves as your main route into New London, providing excellent RV access from both directions without significant grade changes or width restrictions. Coming from the east, you'll connect from I-94 via Highway 55 north through Paynesville, then west on Highway 23 for about 15 miles. From the west, Highway 23 connects directly to Willmar and the broader Highway 12 corridor.

RV routing through town is manageable, though some campground access roads can be tight for larger rigs. Highway 9 runs north-south through New London, connecting to Highway 55 and providing an alternate route that avoids some of the tighter downtown areas. Most dump stations are located on the outskirts of town where maneuvering room is better.

Overnight parking options are limited in New London proper. The nearest truck stops with RV-friendly parking are in Willmar, about 20 miles west on Highway 23. Some RVers park overnight at the Kandiyohi County Fairgrounds during non-event periods, but this isn't officially sanctioned. Winter travel requires extra caution as Highway 23 can ice up quickly, and most dump stations shut down their water systems from November through March to prevent freeze damage.
