It is always a nice campground to stay at for a long weekend. We camp here, every year, in the double sites. The get tight, but everyone that stays in this section "gets it" and have been very respectful of their neighbors (so far). The bad part about the campground is that they took away the slab wood that they had piled up. We were able to cut our own firewood for a few bucks an armload. The story goes that the "locals" would pull in and cut it for them selves, and haul truckloads out of the park. A couple of jerks ruin it for everyone. The rangers have fun programs for the young kids to participate in where they can become a junior ranger. It makes a good break for parents in the middle of the day. The grounds are perfect shape. Information on the grave's in the middle of the campground would be interesting. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Army Corps of Engineers park. Located on Big Sandy Lake for swimming and fishing. Restrooms and grounds especially clean. Staff very friendly. Firewood only $3.00 for big bundle. Sites well spaced and angled for easy entry. Nice beach for the kids and three boat ramps. Good cellular reception. Paved interior roads. Handicap and group sites are available. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We loved this park. It is off the beaten trail, but that's why it's so wonderful. The sites are private and shaded. The kids rode their scooters on the road. There was plenty to do, we borrowed the park's GPS and went geocaching. The kids loved the beach. Lovely hiking trails. We drove to Hibbing one day and toured the mines and Iron world (it's about and hour or so north). We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Beautiful forest setting with a nice lake. We were there in Aug 2002 and the mosquitoes were horrible. Also, location is a long way from civilization. Pretty bumpy road to get to park, but once there the place is very remote and quiet. Take OFF bug sray. We camped here in a Motorhome.
