We O'Brian has some of the best groomed trails that I have been on. With many miles of hiking and a few backpack sites, this is a great family location near Scandia Minnesota to bring a family with budding new excited campers. Great amenities, toilets and even camper cabins.

This is a pretty nice little self service first come first served campground on the edge of Chengwatana State Forest. Clean toilets and nice shady spots, most of which are quite private. However, if it is peace and quiet your looking for, plan on using one of the hike in sites in the forest. My neighbours for the weekend were obnoxiously noisy with no or little respect for others in the camp ground. The trails into the forest were not well groomed after crossing the snake River and still quite swampy in July. $17:00 a night makes it an OK choice within 90 minutes of the Minneapolis.
