Camping in the bluffs

Great MN state forest campground. Hiking trails and the Zumbro river are available for outdoor adventures. Primitive camp ground. Pit toilets and a well, though we brought our own water supply.

Beautiful but primitive

It’s a very pretty campground and at night you can hear the coyotes howling a lot!! No electricity or running water. Outhouse style toilets.
