Beaver Creek Valley

So beautiful and Serene! I annually go camping with my son and we both agree this is the best place we've camped yet

This was our second stay at the park, first time in the cabin. We stayed from a Sunday through a wednesday, so the campground was not very busy at all. I really enjoyed the camper cabin, and it was close to the lovely nearby spring and creek. Saw some decent sized trout, although we didn't fish. The restrooms have vault toilets and the showers had hot water. The restroom / shower area does need some cleaning and updating, but it does fine considering you are camping and can expect to rough it a bit. The only other slight negative was the garbage was about 50 yards away and was filled up while we were there...by Wednesday when we left, if the wind was blowing the wrong way there was a pretty unpleasant smell in our campsite, although you couldn't smell it from inside the cabin. I had fortunately brought incense along! I also highly recommend, whether you are tent camping or in a cabin, to bring a cassette toilet for convenience... We only use it for non solids, and use the campground toilet for anything else. It really makes a world of difference to not have to walk to the bathroom at 3:00 a.m.!

While it's a nice park, it's hard to beat the nearby Whitewater State Park with similar and somewhat better features. The campground is secluded, but cell service is limited down in the valley. Note, while there is running water for showers, the toilets are latrines (vaulted). Nice option of trails though, with either a flat valley hike or rugged bluff hike. The best part of the park is probably the spring coming out of the hillside.

I thought Beaver Creek Valley State park was a pretty great overall state park that has some quite unique terrain and elevation changes. They have a beautiful creek that runs through the park that is one of the best features of the park. The switch back trail is some what challenging and is worth the trip to the top of the bluffs. They have a good amount of well maintained facilities and trails. I even saw a beaver while I was driving in.

Beautiful peaceful state park on the smaller side. The creek is pleasant, with clear cool water. The bathrooms in the day use area were clean. The picnic area had a few fire rings with swinging grill grates on them. There was a lack of garbage disposal in the day use area so we packed in/packed out. Checked out the camping area and decided it's on our list of places to stay.

Decent hiking trails but early Spring meant they were ice covered = a bit treacherous. Shelter house was nice. Wasn't able to check out the campground because it was closed. I would wait until full thaw before tackling "switchback trail" again.

My Favorite Park in South East Minnesota. So much to see and experience. Beaver Creek is a great Family destination.

Fun trails along the creek. We even seen a few small fish swimming in the running creek when the air temp was in the 20s. Pretty cool

I don't know what they did, but the trails are SO much better than they were several years ago. Fairly flat to the north, challenging hills to the south... something for everyone. Great tent camping, crowded rv parking, larger camper cabin.

Was a weekend camping adventure. This is a beautiful park. We were not able to get cell phone coverage. Was a very peaceful weekend.
