Very scenic overlooks of river valleys and an insight into Minnesota's history

Park has huge campsites and is kept up beautifully. The only reason it didn't get 5 stars is because the shower was a 1 mile drive away and the dump station was a 3 mile drive away. Not so much a big deal, just an inconvenience. We would stay again though and just not use our bathroom in our camper. There are plenty of bifs around and they are kept very clean. I highly recommend this campground if you're looking for a nice peaceful weekend! No cell service!

Very nice, but the mosquitoes were awful. Campsites are nice. There is a lot of great history here.
