Chris Rocca
We brought a lot of daily business to this campground.(5 sites) but it seems like all the private campgrounds are the seasonal q-tip haven. We do have dogs, they bark, we travel with them, we shop, we spend, but the minute we leave, we are subjugated to dog scrutiny. Dogs barking throughout the park! All the time! Which doesn’t bother me, but we were given a stern warning about ours barking inside our camper the first day there. Not the best place for family excursions.

Definitely the best private campground we've ever been in (And we are a well -traveled Couple). The sites are large and beautifully spaced out, landscaping is thoughtful and nicely maintained, the bathhouse is clean and a thoughtful large bench is placed away from spritzing water, modern washer and dryers, sparkling clean pool. The staff was the best. When people say "Minnesota Nice", their staff and owner epitomize that expression. We hated to leave.
