#12 site.
Ok site, secluded from other sites.
A trek from parking space to campsite and an ungroomed steep, rocky path to the lake from that campsite (I'm sure it's not meant to be maintained by the park).
Cabins across the lake were kind of annoyingly loud (not all night).
If you want an awesome site with great view on a granite outcropping pick #7. It's a long trek from the parking spot to the site and a decline but worth the view (just pack lighter).
Fishing-don't plan on catching a lot. The regular campers even said so.
Overall, I won't return to this lake because of the trek up and down to the campsites by the lake front sites.
Plenty of other lakes to try!!

The site was spotless, freshly raked, very large. Campground hosts were accessible and friendly.
The swimming beach was charming. A couple more benches would be helpful.
We lucked into site #7 due to a cancellation and it must be the most beautiful campsite in Minnesota! Long hill to set up/take down and use the restroom...but no complaints. Beautiful!

Campsite 8 is the one we stayed at. It was roomy and private. It's one of those campsites that was nicely done. The bathrooms were clean. I posted pictures in the Google reviews of Fenske Campground as the site was updated from the photos posted here.
