The campground is very clean, quiet even though full on the weekend. The sites are spread out but not as private as some state parks. Sights all have mature trees and partially shaded. New showers. Free WIFI.

Lovely, smaller state park situated in an expansive grass prairie setting. The park offers a small bison herd grazing in the grass range and a cliff climbing area. Numerous grass trails travers the park, and the paved trail is suitable for a nice bike ride. The three loop campground is located in a mature cluster of trees along a slow winding stream. The grounds are very clean and spacious, roads are asphalt and site pads are dirt with a very nice grass yard around each site –plenty of room with lots of shade. Bath houses also well maintained with toilet and showers. The town of Luverne appears very cute with beautiful homes and an interesting Main Street. Very nice to walk around and explore a bit, however, only a small grocery store for provisions and only the most basic of services. Nice long paved biking trail that follows the southern perimeter of the park. We caught an occasional glimpse of the bison herd in the distance.

This is a 30 amp park. They will be closing early this season to upgrade to 50 amp. Restrooms were clean and showers were hot. They charge a 7 dollar use tax per night. Lots of trails to hike.

This is a 30 amp park. They will be closing early this season to upgrade to 50 amp. Restrooms were clean and showers were hot. They charge a 7 dollar use tax per night. Lots of trails to hike. We went on the Bison Prairie Tour. A 1.5 hour tour of the Bison on the Prairie and the Nauturalist Amber was very informative about Bison . I would recommend its worth the 10 for adults and 8 dollars for kiddos. A little pricey for a 30 amp site but I would come back. Alot of Trees to dodge on backing in. Excellant cell service ATandT.

It's not a bad campground, but it's not a great one. Good thing it has Bison.
The sites are small and close together, but in nice condition.
The park is pretty, but not special.
We could'n't use any water due to an e. coli outbreak, nor could we use the showers or restrooms so I can't comment on the condition of those.
On the plus side, the fireflies were AMAZING. It's was a panorama of low level fireworks throughout the campground. Tiny sparks floating all around made the night feel a bit magical.
Also interesting was the Bison herd. I love bison, but was disappointed you could only view them from a distance. At Minneopa State Park (also in Minnesota), you can drive through the bison herd like oyu can at Yellowstone. Much cooler.
Works as a stop over place, but I can't seeing spending a weekend here.
