We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The sites were roomy and we were in a nice shady area. The "greenspace" was pleasant. Access roads were good for bikes as well as the Root River bike trail. The bike trail was paved and shady through the country side and along side the river. On the 4th of July, the campground sponsored a professional fireworks display. The only thing missing was Wifi and cell service was sketchy. We'd definitely visit again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is one of the finest campgrounds we have ever visited. The staff was friendly, the rates satisfactory and the grounds clean and neat. We would highly recommend this park to any family. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Simply beautiful area and camp ground, right on the banks of the Root River! Plenty to keep the whole family entertained, with tube, kayak, canoe, bike rentals, fishing and game room. We saw eagles and deer right on-site. Not to mention there is a lot to see and do within a short distance of the campground. Everyone was very helpful and friendly. We will definitely be back soon!! We camped here in a Campground Cabins.

Located on Root River - great for tubing and canoeing - rentals available. Also 1/2 mile from Root River bike trail - 70 miles of paved old railroad right-of-way. Bike rentals available. Riverfront sites mainly for tenters. Very clean rest roms and showers. Very helpful, friendly staff. Amish towns nearby. Community theater in Lanesboro one of top 5 in US. We camped here in a camper.
For all the great things we heard about this campground, we were dissappointed. They have a good website and encourage reserving sites on-line - even check-in is over the web. However, if you don't check-in over the web, you must go to the bar in the restaurant - a bit confusing. Very loud campground at night, quiet hours are not enforced. A dog barked across the way ALL afternoon. PAY showers - I would expect if I have to pay for a shower, I would have someplace dry to hang my clean clothes. Also - there is NO SOAP, let alone soap containers in the restrooms. The pool is pretty cool, it was big and seemed quite clean, but not supervised at all. Many teenage boys whipping a superball around. The saving grace was the CG was right on the bike trail and an easy ride to Lanesboro. We will choose another CG next year. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Campground was in a GREAT location, right on the Root River Bike Trail. Beautiful setting and grounds. Nice restaurant. However, the bathrooms were never cleaned the whole weekend we were there. The showers are pay showers and there was no hot water in either bath house, even during off hours. Full hookup sites had no shade. Pool was dirty with no staff supervision at all, full of kids without adults. We will try a different campground next time we bike the Root River trail. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
