Absolutely do not book this camp site if you are tent camping. The two tent sites are about 50ft from the main highway and even less to train tracks. The parking lot is right next to campsite 20. When I arrived to camp site 20, there were people sitting at the site's picnic table and all of the parking spots infront of the camping spot, were taken. In order to get to site 21, you have to walk through site 20, there is no privacy. The water public access is right next to site 20 so be prepared for ALOT of traffic. The bathrooms are on the other side of the facility. I was so disappointed with this site, we ended up leaving after only being there for a short period of time.
I love tent camping and really wish campgrounds put more effort into primitive camp sites as much as they do RV sites.

Great campground. Nice showers, well maintained sites. The Minnesota DNR should take lessons from the corp of engineers.

This was the worst campsite for backing in a fifth wheel. Site number 6. A load of gravel applied to the driver side entrance of the site would fix it. Currently there is no flare to the entrance of the site and there is an 8 inch drop off from the pavement to the grass. The gravel should be placed on the driver side entrance to be even in height with the paved pad and flare the entrance 6 to 8 feet. If you are not going to do what I suggested than it should be re-classified as a 20 foot or less site. Otherwise it's a nice park.
