This spot is perfect for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle and enjoy some peace and quiet.

    For those who love a good hike, there are several trails to explore. The nearby Sherburne Wildlife Preserve is a great spot for bird watching and enjoying nature. If you're into dispersed camping, this area offers some fantastic opportunities for that as well.

    Overall, Ann Lake Campground is a fantastic spot for a weekend getaway or a quick overnight stay. Whether you're here for the solitude, the trails, or just to relax by the campfire, you'll find what you're looking for.
