| There is a KOA at Moorhead, on the east side, just off I-94. Expensive as most KOA. A few miles east of Moorhead there is a Minnesota state park that is more reasonable, if its not full. Buffalo River State park east of Glyndon on US10.
Woodall says there's a city park in Fargo, Lindenwood Park with camping. 701-232 3987. Might take a road map or google to find it. I read that its at the end of 17th AVE S, I've not been there. I have been at the KOA and Buffalo River State park in 2008. I was able to store my camper and truck at the KOA for $5 a day while it did a 5000 mile trip by bus and rail. State park cost $3 a day entry fee plus the camping fee.
Woodall also says there camping in West Fargo at the Red River Valley Fair Campground. 800-456-6408
I think once you get a few dozen miles west of the twin cities, I-94 flows well. Around the cities its a linear parking lot. I-35 to within a couple dozen miles of the cities is good. If I was driving interstates, I'd take US 14 west from Owatonna, then MN 4 or MN 15 north to I-94 to avoid the cities a long ways. US 14 is new in the past three or four years. Or I'd take MN19 from west of Northfield over to MN 15 and go north. Uncrowded 2 lane roads beats 5 mph or less on 27 lane wide interstates. Pick up a MN travel guide, logging guide, and road map at the welcome center on I-35 just north of the border for more details.
I380 to US 20 and west to I-35 works well, probably better than US218 and US18 alias IA 27 to get to I-35, but I've not tested the US218 route all the way. I80 to Des Moines and north is a few miles longer and a few minutes slower than 380 and 20.
