GOPHER STATE STORAGE — NORTH BRANCH N
Locally owned North Branch storage with outdoor RV and boat parking, rated 4.6 stars by 120 reviewers.
North Branch sits up on I-35 where the Twin Cities give way to farmland, and a lot of rigs around here spend more time parked than rolling. Two trailer storage facilities serve the town, averaging 4.5 stars across reviews. Both are GOPHER STATE STORAGE locations, and both take boats as well as trailers. One keeps the gate open around the clock. That matters if you haul out before dawn or roll back in after dark.

Gated self-storage and RV parking in North Branch with 24/7 access and friendly, helpful staff.
The two North Branch facilities are sister GOPHER STATE STORAGE sites on the north and west sides of town. The north location carries a 4.6 rating over 120 reviews and lists outdoor, boat and trailer storage. The west location rates 4.4 over 17 reviews and lists boat and trailer storage, with gated access and 24/7 entry. Neither one advertises indoor or covered space, so plan on open-air parking. That is common for trailer storage in this part of Minnesota. Ask each facility directly about surface, drainage and security before you commit. Outdoor storage is fine for a utility or boat trailer, but sun and weather work on tires, seals and paint year after year. A cover helps. So does parking off bare dirt if you can.
Start with the gate hours. Only the west location lists 24/7 access, so if your schedule runs odd, that one fits better. The north location has far more reviews behind its rating, which tells you more people have used it and stuck around to say so. Read a few of those before you decide. Drive both sites and look at how the yard drains after rain, how tight the turns are with a trailer behind you, and whether the fence and gate look maintained. Ask what the facility does about snow removal in winter and who to call after hours. Those answers tell you more than a star average.
Minnesota winters are hard on anything left outside, and North Branch gets its share of snow and freeze-thaw. Before the first hard freeze, drain water systems on campers and boats, pull batteries and keep them on a maintainer somewhere warm, and check tire pressure after the temperature drops. Snow load on a trailer cover is real, so brush it off rather than let it pile up. Visit your rig now and then through the off season. A quick walk around catches a loose tarp or a flat tire before spring. Confirm your insurance covers stored vehicles at the facility's address, and keep the gate code to yourself.

Yes, one of the two. The west GOPHER STATE STORAGE location lists 24/7 access along with gated entry, which helps if you tow out early or return late.
Not according to the current listings. Both facilities show outdoor, boat and trailer storage, with no indoor or covered options listed. If you need enclosed space, ask each facility directly or widen your search.
Ask about gate hours, snow removal, after-hours contact, and what the yard surface is. Walk the site with your trailer in mind and check how easily you can turn around. Confirm your insurance covers the trailer at that address.
