Lake Ozawindib Group Center — Itasca State Park

This is a primo group camping center within Itasca State Park, secluded and very separate from any of the other Park campgrounds. It has a mix of historic log buildings including a lodge building that is pefect for group meetings and classes, and is also equipped with a full commercial kitchen. In addition the camp center has cabin accomodations, RV campsites, group tent sites, and more secluded hike-in campsites. It is located adjacent to  Lake Windigo, which has boat access and a fishing pier, but also has trails and has easy access to the Wilderness Drive bike loop and the Wilderness Scientific Natural Area hiking trails. It is a short drive to the Headwaters and the cafe and visitor center there, too.  It is often used for meetings, family reunions, and scout camp programs, and is perfect for that. A brand new bath and shower house has been recently added, so it makes for a superb group center. Covid restrictions have limited this camping center's availabilty due to social distancing restrictions, but hopefully it will be available and in full swing by next summer!
