Nice state park. The only downer in my opinion is the high curbing since the campsites are on a hill. I understand why they are there but took me sometime to get my camper in due to the curbing. Staff was nice. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We had a wonderful time here! There was lots of enjoyable hiking - the walk to Mt Tom was excellent and not too hard. Fun walking between the campgrounds, watching people on the large sandy beach, and attending very good Naturalist presentations: Flower Walk, Blue Heron Story, Fishes, Bald Eagles, Fish Hatchery Tour, and many more. Free fishing rods/reels & bait at the nature center. We had a lovely site in the Oak Ridge campground (little more wooded, larger sites, and more private than LakeView). Oak Ridge also closer to the nature center and all of the trail heads. The Geocache took us to a historic homestead that we never would have discovered otherwise. Showers & rest rooms were older, but kept very clean and neat. Far enough from large cities to have a clear view of the night sky - myriads of stars. Very weak cellphone and Blackberry connections. Kids summed it up best when sitting around the fire one evening: I'm tired, I need a shower, and I'm having a Wonderful time here! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice state park. Electric sites are the closest to the lake. More room in the non electric sites. Water and dump station available in campground. Lots of Ranger led programs for kids. Small camp store located in the park. This can be a very busy place on summer weekends. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Lovely location about 2 hours west of Minneapolis. Sites vary but most were large and level with plenty of space between sites, even a few pull thru's that would accomodate big rigs (just be careful of some low branches here and there). Of course this is a state park, so no paving, just packed dirt/gravel. The Lakeview CG was right next to beach area with gorgeous views of Lake Andrew. Probably very busy and noisy in the height of summer! Oak Ridge CG was closed when we were there so can't give any opinions but I'm pretty sure that one does not have any electric sites. Bathrooms were very clean and showers were free. Personnel were friendly and even stopped by our site to make sure we had everything we needed. One new thing with MN state parks this year is that you can reserve specific sites online - nice! Sibley is one of the more popular state park CG's and for good reason. Only real down side is that a fairly busy county road runs adjacent to the Lakeside CG. Nothing too loud and it was very quiet at night so this is being pretty picky! We recommend this park highly but don't go without a reservation! We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
