About
State Park
Welcome to Lake Carlos State Park Campground, a gem nestled near Alexandria, MN. This place is perfect for those who love a mix of comfort and nature. Whether you're pitching a tent, parking an RV, or staying in a cabin, this campground has got you covered.
One of the standout features here is the clean and well-maintained restroom and shower facilities. Visitors have raved about the hot water and cleanliness, which can make a big difference after a day of hiking or swimming. Speaking of swimming, the campground is right on the lakefront, offering easy access to the beach and water activities. If you're into hiking, there are trails that wind through the woods, offering a peaceful escape and a chance to spot some wildlife.
The campground is divided into upper and lower loops. The lower loop is closer to the lake, providing beautiful views and easy access to the water, but the sites are a bit closer together. The upper loop, on the other hand, offers more privacy with plenty of tree coverage, making it a great spot if you prefer a quieter, more secluded experience.
Fire pits and picnic tables are available at each site, and you can buy firewood on-site, which is super convenient. The campground is also pet-friendly, so feel free to bring your furry friends along for the adventure.
Overall, Lake Carlos State Park Campground is a fantastic spot for a relaxing getaway. Whether you're here for the lake, the trails, or just to unwind in nature, you'll find what you need. Just remember to reserve your spot online, as this place can get pretty busy, especially in the summer. Enjoy your stay!
