The sites are very private due to all the mature trees around each campsite. Some sites are hard to back into because of the narrow road. Roads were all blacktop but narrow. You have to watch for low branches. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Camp hosts checked on us to be sure everything was alright. Has nice swimming beach and picnic house for groups. The hiking and nature trails were excellent. Not all the sites have electric. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park is in extreme SW Minnesota a little SW of Pipestone. We loved camping here for 4 days. The campground is roughly divided into two parts: Those North of the restrooms (sites 7 through 20) are wooded and private while the others surround a football-shaped grassy field. For motorhomes, we think sites 3, 23, 25 are excellent with the others being very good. This is a small park so in a day or two you can hike all of its trails, swim at its nice beach, rent its canoes ($8/4 hrs) or paddle boats ($2/hr), and chat with your neighbors. Cell phone service was poor but sometimes possible. No Blackberry digital coverage in campground. No interpretive center operating (State funding cutback). The river is dammed just below the park so you've got a nice lake, boat launch, and docks within easy walking distance - and this is not a busy park! You're close to Pipestone so you might catch festivities in that area last 2 weeks of July and 1st week of August. Pipestone National Monument is awesome to see too. We camped here in a Motorhome.
