We stayed at Baker as a family for our first camping trip, and it was great. Fire pit with swivel grate for cooking, bathrooms, and plenty to explore.

Brett G.ScoutMinneapolis Southwest KOA
Basic KOA
Nice quiet campground. It's a very basic KOA. Not a whole lot of amenities. Large playground is quite good for children. Our site is right across from the campground.
Campsite is in the middle of nature. Lots of trees cover. Not much of a breeze but well protected.
Water is clean, electrical boxes are in good condition.

Top notch for a county park
I’m still a little miffed that this was a county campground—it’s better than some state (non-MN) campgrounds I’ve been to. Unfortunately I only had one quick night here, but it was a quiet, relaxing stay.
There is a dump station and playground, but I didn’t come across a bathhouse when walking the inner campground loop—it’s likely I just missed it. I had poor cell service with Verizon, but it was good enough to text although web browsing was a bit slow. Be aware there is also an additional $7/day vehicle fee required upon entry, which is not included in the price of your campsite. It can be paid at the visitors center and I believe there is a kiosk if you arrive after hours.
My only complaint was the 5 piles of very large dog excrement in my campsite, which says more about the previous campers, but it was prevalent enough that I found myself wishing the park staff had cleaned it up.

Great views and clean campground
Stayed at group camp side - great shaded area with beautiful views. I bet air conditioned camper cabins across the road are also just as good. Beautiful sandy beach is another gem!

Good campground to stay at
My only problem was they wouldn’t let us keep our vehicle at the camp sight but great people and nice sites. This is a tent only campground.

William O'Brien State Park Campground
Savannah campground site
Stayed for two nights when I worked at concerts in Somerset. Was very impressed with how private the sites are. There is Good tree cover in between each site. There is nothing to do for kids, if that’s important for you….I didn’t look around too much, just a walk around the loops. But I want to go back again. Beautiful and clean is how I’d describe in 2 words.
Guide to Hudson
Cabin camping near Hudson, Wisconsin offers options in a region defined by the St. Croix River Valley, with elevations ranging from 675 to 850 feet. Most cabins in the area remain accessible year-round, though winter cabin camping requires preparation for temperatures that can drop below zero degrees Fahrenheit. The region's oak and maple forests provide seasonal color changes that peak in late September to mid-October.
What to do
Winter activities: Wild River State Park Campground maintains 35 miles of groomed cross-country ski trails throughout winter months. "Minnesota State Parks have just started to build Yurts for 3 campgrounds around the state; Afton, Cuyuna and Glendalough State Parks. These have some great amenities and are perfect for family camping, especially in Fall, Winter and Spring," notes one visitor at Afton State Park Campground.
Hiking trails: Bunker Hills Regional Park offers extensive hiking options with varying difficulty levels. "Huge waterpark, miles of bike trails," mentions one reviewer who appreciates the combination of natural areas with developed amenities. Trails range from flat, accessible paths to more challenging routes with moderate elevation changes.
Water recreation: The St. Croix River provides paddling opportunities from multiple access points. One visitor at St. Croix Bluffs Regional Park reports, "Beautiful park. Lots of hiking. Easy boat launch. Clean facility...Quick trip to Prescott for bloodies at Muddy Waters."
What campers like
Privacy between sites: Many cabin areas offer good separation between units. A camper at Rice Creek Campgrounds observed, "Level private sites, lots of trees, Showers were clean. Would definitely camp again." This privacy varies significantly by season, with summer foliage providing additional screening.
Night sky viewing: Several campgrounds maintain designated star-gazing areas away from light pollution. "This is a solid state park offering. The sites are decently spaced with good tree cover...The star gazing area was great!" mentions a visitor at Wild River State Park Campground.
Wildlife encounters: Many cabins provide opportunities to observe native wildlife. "We saw sooooo many deer some even walking right through campsites! You can hear coyotes, raccoons and very loud owls," shares a camper from Wild River State Park, highlighting the natural setting many visitors appreciate.
What you should know
Reservation requirements: Most cabin facilities book up 3-6 months in advance for summer weekends. One camper at Bunker Hills Regional Park notes, "Based on the lack of Dyrt reviews and the overabundance of weekend availability for this campground, it might be a nice option for you to get camping even if you are a state-park-loving metro dweller like me."
Firewood quality: Several campgrounds sell firewood on-site, though quality varies. "Many campsites are fantastic with good spacing and shade. Access to lake is great. Firewood at $7 a bundle doesn't burn, it just smokes. I asked for a refund. Buy firewood elsewhere," advises a camper at Rice Creek Campgrounds.
Seasonal maintenance: Water systems at some parks may be unreliable during peak summer periods. A visitor at Afton State Park warns, "This may be an ongoing issue but none of the water faucets or water pumps on the trails at Afton State Park are working. The good news is you can fill up on cold drinking water at the visitor center before trekking around the park's beautiful hiking trails!"
