ScoutLovely well manicured spot. Was $35 though not $20. Registration was online, not first come first serve. I got lucky and there was a site open. Showers were well maintained for a city park. The city park part doing a lot of the heavy lifting. Would have been a fantastic stay at $20/night. Just okay at $35.
TravelerNew bathroom and shower facility. Small and quiet lake with a fishing pier and a boat dock. Many mature oak trees provide plenty of shade.
RangerGps puts the site smack in the middle of a soybean? field. The Dyrt needs to get with it on it's Minnesota sites. Phft.
GuideNice city campground in the shadow of the world's largest corn cob! 6 sites each feature a large, mostly level gravel drive. Most have 50 and 30 amp electrical service available. Some large trees for shade. There was only 1 picnic table in the campground area and it was too heavy for us to move to our site for use while we were there. We were the only campers there for most of our stay. There are only 2 fire pits so,if having a campground is important to you, choose one of the sites near the bathrooms. The are large, single stall restrooms for both men and women, and a wide circle drive makes maneuvering thru the park easy, even with a big rig. Sewer dump and potable water is available. Olivia has a nice, small grocery store with an excellent bakery, a Dollar General, a Macs Farm Supply/Hardware store and multiple gas stations. There is a decent sit down restaurant (Max's) on the west side of town, as well as a small diner in that area, and a Subway and Dairy Queen. Overall, for $20 per night ($10 if you don't need electricity) it's a clean, convenient stop.
TravelerJust spent 4 nights here with our popup and disappointed in how poor the place has been kept up. Only one shower worked out of 3 in the mens and womens bathroom and the light was out in the one that did work. Hardly any water came out as well. Same for the hand washing sinks in the mens, only one had water coming out. The laundry building mens bathroom had a faucet the wasn't even attached to the counter top so I had to hold it down to move the lever to turn the water on. The gravel roads have a lot of washed out areas so ruts and potholes everywhere. Definately not worth the price and won't be staying here again. The only two positives that I can say is that the staff is freindly and the lake is very clear for June compared to other lakes in MN. Caught quite a few nice sunfish off the dock and even a few sm bass. The old west show area does look nice but nothing went on there the weekend we were at the campground.
TravelerMy family and I have camped at beaver a few times now and have made some really great memories there! We recently went and stayed at campsite 20 (our favorite creekside spot). The kids and dog did lots of swimming and floating in the creek. We also did a handful of different hiking trails and each one gave us a different beautiful and experience. The paths are not super well marked in all places, but you can find your way through. The campsite was clean, pre ready to go with fire wood and had an extremely clean out house. The campsite had a nice fire/cook ring, a garbage can, and a nice picnic table. There’s even a bungee in the tree for extra hanging/storage. REALLY great stay! And the forest/creek/hillside vibes are awesome here! The kids had a blast and we’ll definitely be going back!
TravelerAbsolutely love this campground. 2nd year for my family. We plan on coming back for many years to come. This place is completely family oriented. Very well maintained. Wonderful staff members. Just overall a wonderful experience each and every time. I highly recommend a visit if you want to make memories that will last a life time.
GuideNice little campground six sites has dump station and water to fill up with electricity 30 amp and 50 amp hookup works well $10 a night no electricity $20 a night with electricity I have a 40 ft class A and I made it fit with my toad, three day limit but I just need a place for the night
TravelerIf you’re just passing through especially in the off-season, this is an extremely convenient location. Propane run out in the middle of the night? They got you. Need more beer? They got you. 10/10 if you just need a place to sleep. View is irrelevant
