    Camden State Park Campground

    Needs an upgrade

    Seems run down compared to 20 years ago. The swimming pond is very gross. Lots of weeds. They really need to clean it out. You can even see the spring anymore it’s so overgrown. Very sad to see something that was so clean and beautiful to be muddy, not clear and full of weeds.

    Sunrise Campground — Lake Shetek State Park

    Beautiful well maintained MN State Park

    Beautiful lake setting. LARGE well maintained walking trails, most are flatter so easy to walk.

    Easy access to fishing, kayaking and canoeing.

    3 different campgrounds in the park. Sunrise campground is newer, electric, water and sewer hookups. Sites are very level, open with newer smaller trees. Sites are spaced apart really nicely. Oakwoods campground is nicely shaded underneath many large oaks.

    Bathroom/shower buildings are VERY CLEAN, well maintained and showers work great and have very warm water. The bathroom/showers are in the Oakwood campground.

    FLUSHING toilets in the Sunrise campground!

    Swimming beach was clean and nice sand.

    Park is located at a Historical site, read up about the area before visiting to get a good understanding about the area.

    Nice clean RV DUMP station.

    Nice little restaurant just outside of the park called Trails Edge. Also have LP tank refill. Located right on the Bike Trail

    Plum Creek Park Campground

    Hidden Gem

    This is the definition of a hidden gem. The park is well maintained with friendly staff. There are nice trails around the lake and more in the lower unit. There is disc golf and kayak rentals and a small store where you can buy ice, firewood, souvenirs, and an ice cream treat. 

    For extra peace and quiet, get the tent only (non electric) sites across the lake! There are a variety of sites if you want to “rough it” or not. Bathrooms are clean. 

    You can tell the workers here care about the park and your experience. I found 0 trash on the trails, and I usually come out with a handful.

    It fills up on weekends with “seasonals” but all the sites have trees and nice shade that gives you a sense of privacy. Theres a tent site close to the playground and bathrooms perfect if you have kids.
