Excellent place for a one night stay while traveling. Hosts were excellent and the free firewood was a bonus. But it could also be a great base camp for taking advantage of fishing, hiking, etc.

We had a nice one-night stay at this campground. Our site was primitive, but the setting was beautiful and nicely forested. The pit toilets were immaculately clean, which was a pleasant surprise. There was some road noise and occasional train noise, but neither was terrible or really detracted from the stay. Overall, a clean, well-kept campground in a nice natural setting.

The workers in loop C have worked very hard to keep the campground very very clean. Restrooms were exceptionally clean and fire pits were clean. Very friendly. This is my second time staying here. And I chose loop C because of the previous experience with these caretakers. I hope you can hire them back again next year. Maurice

Great place to stop close to the freeway. Can hear freeway traffic and train whistle. Lots of trees. Clean water and pit toilets available. We visited the nearby Hiawatha bike trail for a day trip. It was a pleasant stay, I would stay again.

Just an overnight stop--a place for us to get off the road and rest. Easy access from and to I-90. Road noise was not as noticeable as one might expect given the proximity to the highway. Campsite was clean as was the restroom.
