Helpful people, very knowledgeable! quiet close by my home clean, showers lots of trails to walk don't need license to fish in this state park, lots of wildlife! Canoes to rent if u need! Can't wait to go camping here again!
Pros: Shady, secluded walk-in campsites. Close to the city. Easy-access walk-in and cart-in sites. Clean vault toilets. Nice, friendly staff.
A hidden gem! Loop A has some very nice camping spaces with plenty of tree coverage to help keep you cool on the really hot days, and for some reason it is not very busy. Great for tenting! Loop B has all the electricity, but if you are looking for a place closer to the twin cities to get away, check this place out!
We went the this park for the first time. It is so beautiful. It was our first time there. So quiet and relaxing.
Awesome little campground. Nice walking paths but not super extensive.
The walk-in sites were very secluded from the main, loop campground which we loved. They were also far enough away from each other that you didn't feel like you were camping with people in the next site. You could hear them, but only if they were loud or you were trying to listen.
We stayed at Walk-in site 5. It was great except for that there was a fairly loud, large group at the group campsite. The park itself is fairly small, but had enough for our quick, with-child camping trip. The park staff was very friendly and helpful. The grill on the fire pit for walk-in site 5 is fixed which made it more challenging to get the fire going under the grill area of the pit. Not a big deal, but our friends were staying at site 4 and their pit hinged open. Much easier to work with so we ended up cooking at their site more frequently than at ours. I noticed that walk-in site 1 had a grill that swung out and up and down, which would have been even better. All of the walk-in sites are very shady, which is what I prefer. So shady, in fact, that we almost didn't put up our sun-shade alcove. If rain hadn't been in the forecast, we probably would have forgone it.
Cons: No lake access (which we knew going in, but is something to keep in mind). Loud group camping group. Small park (not a big deal for us, but others might find it a con).
We drove by the main camping loops. It looked like loop A was mostly tents and loop B was mostly RVs.
