This was a beautiful park. Loads of stuff to do - there were nightly naturalist programs and the beach was a hit with the kids. My only concern was that some of the hiking trails skirted cliffs and were very dangerous for young children. I was scared for our lives a couple of times and we actually had to turn around and go back on one trail because I didn't want anyone to get hurt. They need to mark the trails a bit better, as to which are easy, moderate or difficult. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Access to this park is difficult for the summer of 2006. Bridge repair necessitates quite a detour on minor county roads. Watch the signs; the park headquarters is at one end of the detour and the group camp is at the other. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Beautiful park. Plenty of hiking trails for a long weekend. Fall colors wonderful. Rest rooms and Showers are what one expects at a State Park, but been in much worse. Will stay in the "tent" areas next time, as it was much quieter and even more scenic. Good vegetation cover between sites even in October in the Semi-modern. Wild Turkeys, coyotes and other critters add to the ambiance. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Agree with the two previous reviews, wanted to add: very few mosquitos!!! Said to be due to abundance of moving water in streams. Also, terrific displays of wildlife/history/other educational dioramas in headquarters building, along with bird-watching stations. Programs for kids. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Excellent state park CG!! Beautiful scenery, fishing, natural swimming area, hiking, etc. Only drawback is no water at the sites (seems to be the case in all MN state parks). Only 15 mins to the Mississippi River. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Excellent state park and campground in Southeastern MN. Natural swimming area with sandy beach (not open yet, but can walk around). Most sites are large with brush screening you from the neighbors. 47 sites have electric, the rest do not. There are no water or sewer hookups, so plan accordingly! Bathhouse was very clean, free showers. The rustic sites have level gravel pads and privacy, some border a lovely stream. This CG gets very busy in the summer due to excellent fishing and scenery. MN state parks do accept reservations, but leave 1/3 unreserved for drive in camping. Highly recommended, especially if you love hiking, fishing, wildlife, scenery. Only about half hour to the Mississippi River and quaint towns with antiques, restaurants and stores. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
