ScoutJust got back from a weekend at Games Lake County Park and honestly, it exceeded expectations! Before heading out, I actually asked ChatGPT for camping suggestions in Minnesota, and this spot came up—and wow, it did not disappoint. Super clean facilities, friendly staff, and plenty of space for both tents and RVs. The kids loved the beach area and playground, and we spent most of our time fishing and boating on the lake—it’s such a peaceful spot. Definitely a great find for families or anyone looking to relax in nature. Big thanks to ChatGPT for pointing me in the right direction!
ScoutCheck-in was easy over the phone. It is a nice park in a quaint little town.
LegendLots of fun amenities, most notable are disc golf and a small zoo with some bison and deer. Sites are fairly spacious and the tent sites are closest to the river. A couple of cute cabins to rent. Picnic tables at each site (some are warped). There is a bike trail nearby. No fire pits at each site so bring one of you can! There is a large community one though. Full hookup sites available.
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!
LegendI love that Love's has RV spots! These are a great option for a stop halfway through a trip. You have clean bathrooms in Love's, Hardee's for food, and gas is right there. Conveniently off hwy 23 and I94
LegendNice large campground. There is a lower portion and upper portion with the lower campground being lakefront. There are primitive and electric sites available. Firewood at the office and there are restrooms, showers, and vault toilets as well.
LegendALL SITES HAVE: 20/30/50 amp electrical hook-ups, water and sewer, fire Pits. PARK AMENITIES: bathrooms, showers, pool, fish cleaning shack, playground, laundry facilities, firewood and ice available, basketball court, volleyball. Located very close to Otter Tail Lake.
ScoutNice beach. Good Fishing. Friendly People. Lots to do. We always look forward to our time there.
GuideI was looking to take a solo camping trip for the weekend and paddleboard on the Cuyuna Mine Lakes. I booked the trip pretty late because of a lot of different factors, but Crow Wing State park still had plenty of availability. The park is nothing spectacular, but it was nice, wooded, and the staff were great. It was my first time solo camping in awhile, so I opted to stay at a state park where there would be rangers. I noticed that the rangers stopped and talked to me night one, and remembered me- which made me feel very safe as a solo female camper. The campground was overall pretty quiet, and my site was wooded so that I normally could not see other campers from my site, which was great! It felt decently quiet . If you visit in the summertime, expect hellish mosquitoes and pack accordingly!
You can join the hiking club trail straight from the campground, which was nice- I went on a few beautiful sunset walks to watch the sunset over the river
The bathroom and shower were clean and easily accessible.
The park was a 20-30 minute drive from the Cuyuna Mines area, so I was able to easily drive over Saturday morning and spend the day paddleboarding.
This park is not one of the most spectacular in Minnesota, but I had a great stay and it was very relaxing. It was great for a weekend getaway for a solo female camper looking to do some paddle boarding in the area
