Short but sweet stay
We booked the leech lake recreation area about a week out from the actual camping date and there was plenty availability during the couple days leading up to the fourth.
Check in is kind of annoying as you can only check in between certain hours of the day. We were unable to check in when we arrived and had a full day planned the following day. They give you two hour intervals to check in.
We arrived later in the evening due to work schedules and were greeted by an amazingly level site. The only complaint we had about the site was the fire pit was dug down and didn’t allow good airflow causing our fire to go out.
Facilities were amazing. They had a “comfort station” which had free laundry area along with bathrooms and showers along with shovels and rakes.
There was an amazing area to play games such as shuffleboard, teather ball and basketball. Park for the kids to play at which was very nice.
The park also has its own boat launch that you can use and a mooring area for boats. There was an amazing fish cleaning shack that was fully equipped with a grinder for the guts and cleaning area for all your knives and fish.
Dump area was also very nice and clean and it seemed as though the whole park was up keeped very well. The campground was run by army corps of engineers and volunteers and it was by far the cleanest campground.
Overall I would stay at this campground again in the future.
