Quaking Aspen camping cabin was a wonderful way to enjoy our 5 days. Wirh lake access, we kayaked every day, hiked and grilled at our fire ring. The cabin was spacious, immaculate and private for these two older folks who needed to get away from the stresses of city living

I tented overnight night at sight 6 and had a great time. Not too much traffic to the restroom which was only a couple sights away and close enough to the beach trail to the visitor center and trail head, where I took the Norberg Lake Trail. My sight had packed gravel with a layer of pine needles that created a soft pad for my Napier backroadz tent. I learned a Kayak around 2 o'clock and went around the north bay and across from the beach, it was a little windy and I had a long drive ahead of me so I returned it around 5:30. Renting for 4 hours is $16 and well worth it even for less time, you can also rent all day if you had more time and would like to explore the entire lake. I saw a few small deer while out on the Kayak. The stars were amazing! I was also pleasantly surprised that the visitor center had a microwave that was so clean I felt like I was the first one to use it! The beach area was perfect for a picnic as well!

Great state park! We visited here for the first time and will be back. Kids 10, 8, 5, we tent camped. Spacious sites, plenty of little docks to bring kayaks and canoes, small little beach area, clean bathrooms and showers. Kayak, boat, and canoe rentals available for a good price. Friendly staff!

This is a great up north park. The highlights are the beautiful lake, scenic pines, and wonderful campground and day use area. It's really a good park for families. The campground is next to the lake so you can bring your boat right to it. It is also walking distance to the beach area. Trails are fun but limited and could be improved to highlight the lake more.

One of our favorite places to camp! The backpacker trail is beautiful and it is narrow, rocky, and covered in debris so be careful if you venture that way. The group campsite is one of the best we’ve seen.

Nice quiet campground with 50/30/20 amp electric. Each site is nicely separated with trees, the sure are not huge but plenty but enough for it 22ft trailer

We brought our Starlink satellite and found 2 sites that we could use which faced the northern sky - sites 38 and 66. Both have good clear sky. We were able to work from the camper for a few days at this beautiful park.

Such a cool state park! Went backpacking here; which I highly recommend. Our campsite was right next to the blueberry lake, so waking up each morning there was an amazing view. The campsite itself was relatively large! We had enough space to set up our tent, have a bonfire, and set up our hammocks. The campsite is verrrrry spacious; there is also a short path that leads you directly to the lake. They also have bear storage which was really nice being that far into the park. There are a few trails at the state park as well. I really enjoyed the Norberg loop; very scenic and you get to walk passed two lakes.

Beautiful Campground. We stayed at site 56e and loved that there was a dock just across the road and a short, 50 or so step, walk to the lake from our campsite. The bathroom/shower house appeared to be new and the showers were nice and warm! Fabulous smoke free fire pits at each of the campsites too! We saw deer walking through the campgrounds, and through our site, every day during our stay. We saw fireflies, heard loons and owls and toads in the evening. The only negatives I can share have nothing to do with the park. Apparently, this has been an especially buggy/mosquito year so far. I would encourage anyone planning on spending time outside of your camper or tent to bring mosquito netting, bug spray and clothing that covers anything you don’t want to get bitten. It was bad. We broke out the thermacell mosquito repellent device and it saved us at our campsite. We are buying the thermacell devices that clip on for future visits to the area after this trip :) The campsites are pretty close together but it wasn’t an issue as far as privacy, there’s plenty of greenery between campsites. The issue we had was regarding noise of a neighboring camper, specifically, their use of what I can only imagine was a fan on full blast or air conditioner or generator? It was loud enough that once turned on we were unable to hear the sounds of nature just the rumble of whatever it was they turned on. Kind of a bummer but we were able to hear well prior to the mechanical interruption…. Overall, we will definitely be back, likely in the fall and crossing our fingers for a hard frost before our arrival!!!
