- There wasn't any firewood (even though the sign says no outside firewood), so after we got all settled we had to go back into town to get some, which was mostly annoying because we got in later and just wanted to relax.
- Overall, the sites weren't that well taken care of. We got to our tent site and the fire pit was growing a patch of really tall weeds, I'm assuming no one had been there for awhile. We had to move it to another area. A lot of the sites were really sandy vs hard soil or grass. Our site also did not have a picnic table, and there weren't that many around. Luckily the people a few sites down left that day after we arrived, so we went and took that one. If we didn't have that, I'd probably give two stars (trying to cook breakfast without a picnic table was not fun!). I think the primitive sites may have been a bit better, but this was just our experience on the electric/water ones. If I were to go back, we would do primitive.
Great place with lots of quite time
- The shower house was no bueno. It was literally a one room shed that had both a shower and toliet that wasn't that well taken care of. It did the job for having a flush toilet, which is what I needed, but I definitely would not have taken a shower. When someone did take a shower, the whole floor became a giant puddle. Plus, with these both being in the same room, if someone was taking a shower and you really had to go, you were out a bathroom. There also wasn't any soap.
Overall, we had a good time camping, but I'd say it is definitely more of a RV park and RV campground (we were tenting). The lady who runs it was really sweet, but it wasn't exactly what I was expecting when I pulled up. VERY laid back and easy going, not much business around it. My few comments to campers:
Had a great get away experience. Met a few long time campers 40+ years very friendly, and welcoming. Ellen, who was very accommodating and sweet. Forgot our garden hose at home, and offered to help us out by lending us hers for our ice castle. Came for 1 night....stayed for 2. Definitely the place to remember for our next outing.
This is my fishing spot - absolutely the BEST Bass fishing in Minnesota - and wonderful, quiet campground with water and electric for only $30/night - I spent my 44th birthday there with family, and had the BEST time ever. Ellen is the sweetest woman I have ever met - she put my zip-lock baggies in her freezer for me and I went home with over 10lbs of fish. I will NEVER go anywhere else. Thank you Ellen!
