As always, we had a great experience camping at Peterson Prairie Campgrounds. Restrooms were clean. The Camp Host was very helpful and congenial. Evenings and nights were quiet.

Site 10 was nice and secluded. It was convenient to the spigot, the restrooms were clean, and the camp hosts were friendly.
The only drawback was the only open area for a tent was just on the other side of a couple of trees from the campground street. That wasn't a huge deal, but I give it 4/5 as a tent camper. I expect it would be a 5/5 site for RV campers, especially since it's a pull through.

Site 4 near the bathroom and in front of the water facet. Very private site. We had a 12ppl tent and where able to set it up near the dry creek away from the view. It was very quick and clean,

Setting is beautiful with many large, mature conifers helping to preserve the quiet. Campsites are clean. Some tables/benches have decay in need of maintenance or even replacement. Toilets were noticeably odorous, and flies were a serious nuisance in the toilet nearest our campsite. Host seemed friendly.

Had a lovely time! Ice caves are very dark, did not attempt, but the natural bridges are so neat! Recommend starting by ice caves for geological explanation page.

Great, deep forest campground. Sites are spread out and it was very quiet. Easy proximity to a paved road and surrounding activities. The bathroom was clean. We will definitely go back!

Not allowed camp fire. It poured down rain and our site was flooded. We had to pack up and leave a day and a half early due to everything flooded.
