The campground has a lot of nice camping spots. They are large and tree-filled. Fishing access is a walkable distance from all sites. Showers are large and well-maintained.
I would definitely camp here again.

It was a lot smaller than other COE campgrounds we've been to. Kept up nicely. A little annoying the garbage collection at 7 a.m. but otherwise quiet. Nice host and hostess. We kayaked on the Mississippi River and it was wonderful. Very clear water, watched the fish swimming underneath us. Husband caught a nice big walleye in Lake Winnibigoshish but it was in the slot so had to go back in :( Could use a bigger sign at the entrance.

Site 8 - clean, flat, easy to back up a 25’ trailer with minimal effort. Water and dump station toward the exit AFTER you drive around the loop. Primitive toilet adjoins the rear of the site with blacktop path.
