County-managed Mack Lake County Park sits along the Minnesota River, providing multiple access options including drive-in, boat-in, hike-in, and walk-in approaches. The gravel sites are mostly level, though one reviewer notes the surface works better for RVs than ground tents. A clean porta-potty serves the camping area, while a separate picnic shelter with vault toilets sits farther from the sites.
Campers can forage firewood on-site or purchase split wood at the registration station through a donation system. The park allows pets and campfires, with trash service provided. Fort Ridgely State Park sits about three miles east for visitors wanting full hookups and more developed facilities.
Description
Mack Lake County Park offers a shelter that is great for hosting get-togethers. A restroom is also available. Fishing and rustic camping are the main draws to the park. During times of high water, the park is subject to flooding.
