Public Storage
Coon Rapids self-storage with covered, indoor and outdoor RV parking, gated 24/7 access and a 4.7-star rating.
Coon Rapids sits right up against the Mississippi, and the winters here are hard on anything parked outside. Two facilities in town handle cars, boats and RVs, and both run 24/7 gate access. Ratings average 4.8 across the pair, so people seem to like what they get. You get a real choice between indoor and outdoor, which matters more than price when January rolls around.

Both facilities here offer indoor and outdoor space, and one has covered spots too. That is the whole decision, really. Outdoor is fine for a boat you pull in May and a car you drive weekly. Indoor is what you want for a rig you tuck away in November. Coon Rapids gets real cold, and a heated or enclosed bay keeps snow off the roof and ice out of the seams. If you go outdoor, check how the drainage runs before you sign. Standing water under a rig all spring is worse than the snow. Ask each facility how they handle snow removal around the buildings and whether you can get to your unit after a storm.
Public Storage carries the reviews, 4.7 from 429 of them, and it handles covered, indoor, outdoor, boat and vehicle storage. It is gated, lit and open around the clock. Self-Storage at U-Haul has a perfect 5.0 from just five reviews, so read that as a small sample. It offers indoor and outdoor vehicle space with cameras, 24/7 access, climate control and a wash option. The wash is handy if you store outside and want the road salt off before it sits. Two facilities, five nearby, so a short drive may open up more choices.
Pull the battery or put it on a maintainer, because a Minnesota cold snap will drain a weak one flat. Top off the fuel and add stabilizer if the rig sits more than a couple months. Wash it first, especially underneath, since road salt left on a frame does quiet damage all winter. Crack the windows a hair if you store indoors and check on it once a month. Confirm your insurance covers the vehicle where it sits, not just where you drive it. And drive the gate hours into your head, since both places here run 24/7 but you still want to know how entry works.
Two facilities are in Coon Rapids, with five more nearby. Both in-town options offer 24/7 gate access, and their ratings average 4.8. Public Storage is the one with a large review count at 429, while Self-Storage at U-Haul has just five reviews so far.
Yes. Both of the two facilities list indoor storage, and one also has covered space. That gives you a real choice for winter, when an enclosed bay keeps snow and ice off a rig you are parking for the season. Outdoor space is available at both as well.
Both facilities in Coon Rapids list 24/7 gate access, so late arrivals and early departures are workable. Ask how entry works when you sign, since gate codes and call boxes vary. It helps to know the routine before your first trip in the dark.
One facility, Public Storage, lists boat storage. If that is full, the five nearby facilities are worth calling. Ask about pull-through room if you plan to arrive with the trailer still hitched, and confirm the gate hours before you haul a boat across town.
