This is a small campground with roomy sites, on-site host and very good bath facilities. There is a very nice little park adjacent to the campground that is on the headwaters of the Mississippi River. There are large numbers of mosquitoes in this area during the summer, and we bought a battery operated fogger that was a big help. This is a somewhat remote area, although there are some pretty good restaurants nearby, Big Fish Supper Club was very good and had some good specials. Deer River is about 15 mi away and has a good grocery store and a nice little casino. We would definitely stay there again, with our fogger.
