"Great park if you’re not looking to drive too far to enjoy a bit of nature. Wonderful hiking paths and biking paths.
Our site was nice a secluded and right next to the trail heads."
"Sites are wooded and shady but some are close to neighboring sites. Not too many mosquitos or flies for August in Minnesota! Sakatah Singing Hills paved trail runs through the park. "
"We reserved a spot right next to the pool area. It was a tight fit to back the camper it, but I was able to do it. They have cement pads for a patio area and a fire ring."
"The one drawback, in my opinion, is that the lake it is right next to doesn’t have a beach for swimming. That was a little disappointing for me."
"Outside of this the children spent most of the weekend in the pool!"
"Neighbors decided movie night was important with surround sound but over all I would stay here again.
Lots of seasonal golf cart traffic and kids on bikes."
"This is a Nice campground middle of Minnesota. Surprising place in the middle of farm country. Very nice campground and lots of walking trails. Great for leaf peeping."
"To be on the safe side, incase we had issues, we decided to stay close to home so we decided to hit up a new park, Nerstrand Big Woods State Park just outside Northfield, Minnesota."
"Close to interstate but very peaceful. Owner saw us to our site and lined us up for hookups, saw a lot of families and couples enjoying the beautiful natural surroundings. Good Sam discount."
"Fair price of $26 right next to the restroom and showers which are very clean!! One other camper will be joining us back here."
"Sites in the back loop away from the lake are big, but not much for shade yet. Sites by the lake looked nice. Beach is nice and clean."
"There was a vault toilet near by and full bathrooms a short walk away. The showers by the lake could use some updating but the bathrooms by the bigger loop are very nice and clean."
"My only complaint was how close together the walk-in sites were."
"Beautiful forested area just outside Owatonna. Easy drive past beautiful farms to town. Camp host told us mosquitoes were light this year; they seemed plentiful to me!"
$24 - $34 / night
"The other direction is the BISON DRIVE. Yes, you can actually drive amongst bison if the road is open."
"We arrived there around sundown, and set up camp in the spot we reserved. The view was absolutely beautiful over the hills, with the forest giving us cover from the bright sun rays in the a.m."
"Our check-in package was ready when we arrived at the little self-registration building at the entrance."
"But everyone was good with our kiddos playing outside. Very well maintained just a great park overall! Would stay again if in the area."
RangerThere were 3-4 sites with three fire rings, two 20 amp hookups, and one picnic table. Cost was $15.
GuideGreat little park bathrooms are very clean! They are just long drop toilets though. Tried to book online as there is no in person drop box. Can only pay online. I found the site to not be very mobile friendly. Kept kicking us out of selected field. Had to call to pay for the site. They were very friendly over the phone, though there was a pretty long wait time.
Have to pay for a separate vehicle pass but that gets you access to the bison refuge and the water fall.
Was a great .6 mile hike from the campground down to the river with a great sunset view over the water.
RangerLoved this place. Very private. Gorgeous setting. You can hear the paintball games taking place, but it isn’t a bother. Fire ring with firewood supplied and picnic table are the site amenities. There is a bathroom, but it is a 10 minute walk, so plan to be self-sufficient in that regard. Friendly host.
TravelerFirst time camping of the season here! Brian in the office was SO nice and generous. It was pretty quiet there, he upgraded us to a nicer spot and threw in an extra bundle of wood. The facilities were clean, graveled pull through spots were so nice. Other campers there were very nice. It’s pretty close to the interstate, so just be aware you’ll hear that noise, it might be better once the trees have leaves on them. Would stay again!
RangerBooked two sites to camp with friends, they had an RV and given the storms we had, that would have been better than our tent. Played Boy Scout for the weekend and rigged a solid site for my family of 4. Even got to go canoeing on the river!
TravelerSo keep in mind this is not a year-round spot even on the offseasons you're not allowed to stay there. They don't open up until May
ScoutOne of the few camps open in Mn past Oct 1st. Owners and host were very friendly and accomodating. They visited each camper to say hey and small talk. Will definately revisit
TravelerNice little Campground right in the middle of the town plenty of spots for campers and Tents no pull through sights power yes water and sewer no but they do have a dump station.
RangerWe have stayed here for business.
Dakotah Meadows is one of the nicer parks in the Twin Cities area. Grounds are mostly well groomed and the roads are maintained. There is some pride reflected in the ownership.
We last stayed in side 25, a back in up on the hill. We have also stayed in the pull through sites, but not really a fan of those. Still, I would choose this park over others in the area for the access to 494 and 35W.
Dakotah's website has an incomplete campsite map showing only the lower sites between the pond and road. What the map doesn't show is the three rows of pull-through and additional 10 back-in sites at the top of the hill.
