Nice little campground-no showers

Pretty little campground. Electric sites were decently spaced. Lots of awesome primitive sites. My kids spent hours playing in the creek. Lots to explore. Vault toilets were pretty clean. No showers.

Very nice county park/campground

This park had a surprising amount of space and amenities for a county park.  I *think* there were around 40 campsites.  Don't miss the back, more private section.  We camped overnight here while en-route to Theodore Roosevelt N.P. from Minneapolis airport.  It is on the Shyanne River National Scenic Byway.  It has everything you need, with the addition of some nice day trip amenities like soccer fields, a children's playground, and half-court basketball.  There are 2 day-use group shelters.  An individual camp site was $20 - non electric.

There is potable water but no flush toilets (only pit toilets) and no showers.

Need to return

Nice campground, we camped near the brook. Got there later in the evening and left early in the morning to start a hiking trip. Unfortunately we didnt get to enjoy all that the park has to offer, but the staff was friendly and let us park our vehicle there for the weekend while we completed our section hike on the NCT.

Nice small campground

Our first time here, it was nice! Got a great spot near the stream. Playground was nice & neat to see some of the secluded tenting spots on our walk - they look awesome! Same friendly & helpful caretakers as at Clausen Springs, which was cool. A few bridges to find & see through the campground. Overall, no cell service - but, okay to detach for camping & family time!!
