Green and Beautiful

Such a beautiful area for a campground. Our visit was in June and everything was green green green! So much vegetation along the crystal clear creek. There are signs of active beavers with many dams and lodges.

We stayed in the "group" site which can fit two tailers and the three vehicles. We also used the adjacent site 3 for a third trailer. The group site has two picnic tables on a concrete pad and a fire pit with built in benches. The sites are spread nicely especially on the upper loop with reservable sites. It would be difficult to fit large fifth wheel trailers.

One complaint is that the campground website is lacking information and does not match the information at the campsite. There are many sites not on the map that are first come first serve. The prices also don't match what is advertised on the website (by a couple dollars)

Just up the road is Minnetonka cave where you can take a guided 90 minute tour. Worth the visit.
