Loved the park. We pulled in and occupied our site. However, there was never any host or ranger around. There were some workers here and there but no one who could have helped with a reservation question or that type of thing. That isn't exclusive to this campgrounds. Every campgrounds we have stayed at in MN has had ghosts instead of Hosts. It's a nice area and park for sure. Be prepared though, even though MN has 10,000 lakes, each park acts as though they have the only one.

Beautiful spot along the Mississippi headwaters. Big sites with trees. Bring mosquito repellent.

Some of the sites are right on the river, for beautiful views. Plenty of room between sites. Walk across the dam for some nice trails. Convenient to Grand Rapids, MN.

It's an okay campground if you have an RV and ear plugs. I would NEVER EVER camp here again in a tent. Campsites 20 and 21 are right off of the highway and next to a train track. The train went through at 2:00 a.m. and I'll never be the same again. I think my teeth are still chattering. If you enjoy being terrified and seemingly loud noises, then this site is for you. If you enjoy your sleep and peace and quiet, then steer clear of this campsite!
