The camp host was very helpful and friendly.
The road into Laurance Lake is very rough, I had an 18 foot trailer and I did make it, but would not recommend anything larger than that.
Our trailer site was very nice, in the trees and well shaded, but was somewhat difficult to get backed into. I would not recommend bringing a large trailer here.

2nd time here, stayed at site 20 again. It's prob the best one, but don't tell anyone that ;)
Good tree coverage, nice breeze from the lake, just gorgeous and peaceful.

We loved our stay at Kinnikinnick, site 21. Cindy (camp host) was amazing - super friendly, helpful, and reasonable. Site 21 is a large, fairly flat site with shade over the tent area(s). There was space for 2 large tents, and we even set up a third small one for gear. Be advised it's about (I'd estimate) a city block from the parking lot, so you'll be hauling your gear in. Short walk to the lake. Sites 20 and 21 combined are perfect for a group.

I camped solo with my dog at Kinnikinnick Lake for the first time and felt completely safe. The setting was beautiful, and having Parkdale nearby for extra supplies was a plus.
Camp host Cindy was fantastic—a friendly, consistent presence who kept the facilities in great shape.
Most campsites have a communal feel. While privacy is limited, you get prime access to the lake and fewer crowds than nearby Lost Lake.
The road in is rough, but the day-use area was popular with anglers. After this trip, I’m inspired to learn how to fish.
