    Country Campground

    Got it Right

    Karen and Todd, who own and run this lovely campground Come from the background of service. Their attention to all the details are everywhere. The upkeep and the maintenance of all the sites is impeccable. They also supply aged hardwoods for the benefit of controlling the fires, but the wood is perfect for cooking if you so choose, I love cooking on an open fire so I appreciated it on a personal level.

    Karin’s grandfather took this property from a farmland, planted all the trees. which give ample shade for many of the sites. There are two playgrounds in a field. Chipper golf, ladder golf, horseshoes, basket ball & volleyball courts. Laundry room and a rec room that has pool table, foosball, ping pong and shuffleboard. There are showers available as well.

    My favorite surprise in addition to everything else she does she bakes homemade sourdough bread on certain nights. Which you can order the toppings and select ingredients. Sweet or Savory I went with Parnassian/garlic. Fresh right from the oven with Irish butter perfection for this foodie!

    All 30 the sites have water, power and sewage, picnic table and fire rings.

    Detroit Lake area is also one of the sightings of Thomas Danbo troll sculptures which require a mile walk.

    Buffalo River State Park Campground

    One nighter

    Easy access, must have state recreation pass for vehicle. Mosquitoes galore. Electric hookups at site.

    Buffalo River State Park Campground

    Pretty but mosquito city

    Spent all of an hour outside. It's impossible to enjoy this pretty place . The mosquitos are absolutely ridiculous. Constantly swarm you. We had 2 thermacells out and we were covered in ranger ready repellant. My 2 go tos when it comes to mosquitos. While they worked somewhat, some of these mutants didn't seem bothered in the least. There were some hovering barely 6 inches above the thermacell fog. My husband is dumping the tanks as I write this and they are literally swarming the truck. Were out of here thankfully. Such a shame we couldn't enjoy this pretty park.

    Bear Paw Campground — Itasca State Park

    Gem of a state park!

    Itasca State Park Minnesota

     This park is a gem in Minnesota State Parks! Just beautiful. Although we only had 1 day we managed to pack a lot into it. My advise is to start your day as early as possible. We went to the Mississippi Headwaters at around 8:15 am & had the place to ourselves. The gift shop isn't open yet, but when we went later for ice cream the place was hopping! The Wilderness Drive is a must see as well. There's some short hikes & a lot of wild beauty. They have a fire tower you can climb.

    Biking is very popular & there's a dedicated bike path on the Wilderness Drive which is about 10 miles.

    There's a lodge & restaurant. 

    Two visitor centers.

     There are 2 campgrounds- Pine Ridge& Bear Paw. Electric sites only. I think it was$35 a night. There is a dump.

      We were in Bear Paw site 37E. Frankly, I liked Bear Paw campground better, even though it's smaller. By the lake, but no sites are ON the lake.

    Lakeview sites are 63, 67, 68, 69,& 70. There's good access to the bike trail. There's a path down to the lake, so if you have a kayak you can drag it down.

     We were across from the bath house. It's very nice & clean! Showers are push button. Not too hot.

    Pine Ridge we did a short drive thru. The campground registration office is there. We were told we didn't have to register if we we had an on line registration. No tags.

     Pine Ridge had several loops, but we just went down the Spruce Loop. The sites looked flat & shaded. I didn't note any particular site. 

    We really enjoyed our stay & wished we could have added a couple more nights!

    Buffalo River State Park Campground

    Clean Green

    I chose Buffalo River based on the previous reviews and it did not disappoint. This being a quick overnight, I couldn’t hope for anything better!

    While I got in late, the registration was all online (open til 10pm) and the reception was strong. There were plenty of spots to choose from with a good amount of space. However, the website on this app is not correct and I ended up waiting until I got here.

    Luckily, it all worked out! I was grateful to end up here. Especially for a hot shower in a generally clean/well-maintained facility. It was an added bonus waking up under a green canopy and sunshine.

    Mantrap Lake Campground and Day-Use Area

    Loved it

    Great campground. Very quiet during the week. Most sites are separated by trees and vegetation. Out of 39 sites, 4 are currently occupied and none can see each other. Loving it here.

    Maplewood State Park Campground

    Knoll loop

    Stayed at knoll loop. I enjoyed the privacy of these sites. Road in is a little rough. The showers are at the main campground with plenty of parking. I wouldn't walk that far for the showers. Great place to stay.
