Overall Rating

There are nice hiking trails, no bicycles allowed, & a beautiful waterfall. Lots of wild flowers, including the Dwarf Trout Lilly, which only grows in 3 counties of MN, & no where else in the world. The camping sites are smaller & less private than some of the other st parks we have stayed at.

Site Number:	52e

Overall Rating

State park with great hiking trails, not too far away from the Twin Cities. 51 sites, 27 of them are electric 30A/15A. Sadly, none of the outer ring sites have electric, so you're forced into the inner ring where the spaces are a bit more crowded. Still, with trees, there's a little bit of privacy. I think 52e or 51e might be the best spots, but none are perfect.
