Norwegian Creek Co Park

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

County-managed and fully hooked up with electric, water, and sewer connections, Norwegian Creek Co Park sits along the shore of Lake Benton in southwestern Minnesota. Sites run close together, so weekends with low occupancy give campers more breathing room to spread out. Two playground areas and sandy spots along the lake's edge make it a practical stop for families. A dump station, showers, and ADA accessibility round out the facilities. Campers interested in campgrounds near Lake Benton will find Hole in the Mountain County Park noted by locals as a quieter alternative nearby.

Nice spots by the lake

Electric and water hookups. Spots are very close together. Luckily several people cancelled for the weekend and we were allowed to pick any spot. Shower houses are nice. I'd stay again, although a lady in town said the hole in the mound county park nearby is much quieter. The ice cream man made a loop through the grounds.
