"Bathhouse, walking trails, fishing and beautiful lake views. Some sites are a little difficult to get into but not impossible."
"Situated right between a lake and a golf course. Very clean camp sites. Had a blast."
"A few of the tent sites had lake views with even a few having short paths right to the waters edge. All sites are drive in with not much privacy in between, but it was enough for me."
"Beautiful sunsets, lots of wildlife and nice trails. Fishing is free from the park boundaries with lots of shoreline. Great access to the lake if you have a boat."
"Some, however, were right on the lake or had paths that lead to a picnic table & fire ring closer to the water. As another reviewer mentioned, one of the loops has sites that are not very level."
"This was a nice campground on the lake. The sites are not very private and some of the fire pits are are far away from the camping pad, they are down the hill by the lake."
"The campground is near a river so beware of the mosquitoes. We will stay here again when in the area. Also you can get 50% off with passport america pass!"
"Despite it being a slightly shorter drive than the trip to Duluth from my house, it felt like eternity in comparison. It also felt very very unlike the Minnesota that I’m familiar with. "
"The trails in the park have nice rolling hills and offer a unique type of beauty. The campground is small, but offers some electric sites as well as some primitive sites."
"On the shores of Big Stone Lake. A nice beach and a boat landing. There are normally no open sites, we are told, as they are all rented for the season."
"Located very close to Otter Tail Lake."
"Great owners, great amenities, close to many lakes…not much else you could ask for!"
"Beautiful location. most lots are lake front. camper spots are easy to get into and spacious. two primitive areas, one by the beach and the other is tucked back in the trees(super secluded). people at"
"Not lakeside but nicely secluded. There is a nice beach and the lake is clear. There is a big playground, basketball court, and ball field."
RangerWe’ve used the facilities here. Completely self-service. Site had dump station, bathrooms.
Sites have sewer, water and electric.
TravelerHad a great stay, everything was as expected with a camper cabin. Beautiful park with great trails and a beautiful lake! Our cabin was a long ways from the shower facility which I knew going into the weekend. Parking near showers was close to non existent.
TravelerCharged for electric & water that wasn't working. One garbage can for all of camp ground one. Toilet was dirty. Camp Hosts were not informed so weren't very helpful with questions.
LegendThis is an annual visit for us and some friends as it is close to home and a good first stop for the camping season to make sure everything is functioning properly! The family that owns it is so nice!

LegendThis park has trails and is bordered on one side by a river. The other side of the river has a municipal water park and mini golf course. Several state parks close by for additional hiking opportunities. Sites have water, sewer, and electric. Fire ring provided. Showers and bathrooms onsite as well. I did hear some trains overnight (tracks are across the road), so if you are a lighter sleeper, be warned you may be woken up in the middle of the night. Really enjoyed the time spent here with the family!

LegendGeneral: RV style camping on Pomme de Terre Lake and Kenny Lake. Many sites are lakefront or have a view of the lake. We were one of the few (if not only) non-seasonal campers at this campground.
Site Quality: Our site was located directly behind the store/office but had a view of the lake. Parking was on grass. The site was level and had an electric hookup. A wooden picnic table (in good shape) and a fire ring complete the site. When I called to make a reservation, I asked for a non-electric site but was told the primitive sites are far from the restrooms. I’m glad we settled on an electric site as the primitive ones, besides the distance from the restrooms, would also only be suitable for tents.
Bath/Shower house: Reasonably clean but I’ve seen better. Two showers, two toilets, and one sink. The shower had hot water and good flow, but it was cramped with little room to get dressed (plus the showers are located right inside the door, impeding privacy.
Activities: All the activities you would associate with lakefront camping. None of these applied to us but it was a good overnight location for passing through. Several speed boats zoomed by on the lake, and I imagine that on a summer weekend, the boat traffic would be much increased. There is a fish cleaning station. There are nice docks with benches to enjoy the view of the lake/sunset.
This campground is not our preferred type of camping – no privacy between sites but on a weekday toward the end of August, it was very quiet (but still HOT). We appreciate that we were assigned a lakeview site as not all of them are.
