Great spot in the Root River Valley. They offer lots of extras including tube rental and transport, bike rentals, bingo and live music. Our site was right long the river where we saw turtles, bald eagles and lots of other wildlife.  Facilities were clean and well-maintained. Not a lot of trees between sites but still far enough apart for privacy.

Park is nestled in a beautiful valley surrounded by rocky bluffs with great hiking trails. Campsites are spread apart nicely and some are right along the Whitewater river. The bathrooms are clean and there is a newer shower building. The only drawback is that there is main road that runs in between the 2 campground. Not a lot of traffic but speed limit is 55 mph.

Long narrow campground in between 2 bluffs in MN driftless area. Sites are not too close but it was early in the season so there wasn't much brush to separate the sites yet. Beaver Creek runs right alongside the campsites and can be heard.  There is a nice grassy easy hiking trail along the creek (Big Spring Trail). The Hole-in-the-Rock trail is steep and rocky but has beautiful views and rock formations.

There is no cell phone service.

Campground sits high up on the bluffs so the views are beautiful. We stayed there in early spring so there wasn't much vegetation growing yet between sites but sites are well-spaced. Great hiking paths up and down the bluffs.

The downside is that the campsites on the inside of the rings are close together and no vegetation for privacy between sites.  The park itself is beautiful and staff was friendly. Park is right on the edge of New Ulm which is a beautiful small town with strong German heritage and lots to see and do.

Really not what I consider camping. Close to Niagara Falls, clean bathrooms. 

Also, we were waiting for an overnight package delivery and were told to check out and had to sit and wait in the parking lot until it arrived, even though the campground was mostly empty.

I grew up camping here with my parents so I am biased! There are 3 campgrounds and I would recommend getting a site in the 300 loop. It is right on the lake and the sites are wooded. Some sites are more private than others. It is only a 20 minute drive from the Twin Cities and you can visit Pitchfork Brewing down the road on rainy days. Great hiking to the falls area.

Large sites but no privacy between sites. Lots of mature tress so there is plenty of shade. Luckily the campground was 1/2 empty so there was no one on either side of us.  Campground is not on the lake and we drove to get to the beach.

Clean campground with large sites but no privacy between sites. There were lots of tall pine trees so most of the sites had some shade. Moderate hike to the beach and sand dunes.

Upper campground is right on Lake Superior. Sites are partially shaded and the undergrowth is tall enough in July to provide lots of privacy. It's a short hike to the rocky shoreline. We visited twice this year. In the early spring during "waterfall" season, you could hear the roar of the Temperance River from the campground. In July, the river had returned to normal and was great for swimming and cliff diving.

Beautiful, small state park less than an hour south of Twin Cities. 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.  It was pouring on Saturday so most of the other campers checked out and we had the campground mostly to ourselves. Super friendly and helpful staff, clean restrooms. Faribault is 15 minutes away so we went antique shopping at Keeper's Antiques downtown and had cocktails at 10,000 Drops Distillery for rainy day activities.
