Well-kept campground. Good privacy between spacious campsites. A number of sites are on the lakefront with a nice view. I would stay again.

Couldn't use our awning because fire pit too close

Women's toilet was constantly out of Tp

We were in site 21 The last site on the lake and I see they thinned the over brush in between sites witch is a great idea to get airflow thru the sites but is there any way that the small brush along the lake could get cut so you could see the lake

We like to stay at Mosomo Point for the easy access to Winnie and both Cut Foot Sioux lakes. As die hard "tenters" the quiet times, ie, no generators, are very welcome.
Unfortunately, with the extremely dry conditions, coliform bacteria was detected in the drinking water supply so water needed to be acquired elsewhere.

Fantastic campground, huge sites with water access on a large lake system. This was the perfect place to bring a canoe. Only downside was the RV in the adjacent site running their generator all night. We would camp here again.

My experience was excellent. The campground host was the best! I stayed at Mosomo Point the night of the tornado, and a tree fell on the unoccupied site next to mine... I was able to drive away from the forested campground and into the more open boat launch area during the worst of the storm. Minnesota is lovely and I will be back1
