Restrooms & Showers were clean but constantly had a boom box playing. Everything all in one building. Site was level, but on grass. We had 30amp and no sewer. Tight maneuvering and low branches. Very expensive for what you got. We went to see the Spam museum and Mower Historic Center. The Mower Historic Center is on the county fair grounds and so we got 2 for one because the fair was on. Probably will not stay again, seen the sites and not a real friendly campground. Price does not match facilities. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Lots of activities for the kids and great shade on camp sites. Friendly staff as it's under new ownership. Would stay again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Park was well kept and the bathrooms and showers were very clean. Very friendly workers and the owners were great. Everything is geared for the children and the ones we saw were having a wonderful time. Worth coming a long way to stay at and the best part is you can stay as long as you want on Sunday. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
A wonderful family friendly park with a real petting zoo and lake. They are very RULE happy, you can't escape the signs, but one of the nicest parks we have ever stayed. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Large drive through sites, good shade, beautiful well maintained park. Friendly staff. Lots to do in park and in area. Theme weekends. Kids loved animal petting park they could walk into and feed the animals, as well as free fishing in their stocked ponds. My wife was thrilled with their free internet service. I especially liked their restaurant,horseshoe tournaments and Karaoke on Saturday night. We will definitely be back. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We probably wouldn't have stayed here due to the lukewarm verbal reviews above, but it is close to Spam. We liked it. The park has enlarged in the last few years (the prior site count on this was 150) and the sewer/water is upgraded. It's still a family campground with an area of seasonal people - esp. the waterfront sites. We parked our 40' motorhome on the grass under the trees with just w/e and loved it - the satellite even worked, which is our gauge of a good park . Our lady at the front desk was terrific, but I saw others later that weren't. Great store supplies of every kind - even a hammer. The highway noise wasn't bad & we were on the close edge. I wouldn't want to stay here on a weekend in high season on a holiday, however. It probably gets bizarre. Lots & lots of stuff for the kids to do. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Beautiful setting but never-ending noise from the interstate and seeing the poor animals in
their "petting zoo" suffer in the constant sun, humidity and dirt while in their "jail cells" detracts more than words can say. The ponds are rather scummy and quite mosquito-filled, and rusting equipment can be seen lying about on the "islands." Also, the workers act like they're doing you a favor while waiting on you, especially the older woman who mans the counter. The owner attempts to be friendly while visiting your site, but once he pops by he never leaves - and all he wants to do is talk endlessly about himself and his campground! When we departed he glared at us, making us wonder what we had done? On the up side, the sites are large, a lot of them are shaded, the park appears well-kept and the bathroom facilities are really nice. But at $29 a night, we found it rather expensive and not close enough to Austin to be called "Austin." We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Family Campground - pool, petting zoo, fishing ponds, train rides, gameroom, etc. Stagnant fishing ponds tend to be mosquito breeders. Otherwise, campground meticulously maintained. Slideouts are no problem, good sized sites. Nearby Austin hosts Hormel's Spam Museum - very well done and free. We camped here in a camper.

A quaint friendly campground. Kind of a throwback to the old style resort where a family would go to spend a week. Has a petting zoo, albeit quite run down, LOTS of activities and even a train for kids to ride around the park on. Sites are so-so, but staff is very helpful and friendly. We camped here in a camper.
