Southeastern Mn Camping

[bkbullhead]

Hi, I'm looking for a quiet campground in SE MN. I'm aware of the State Parks. One I came across in my WWW searches is Eagle Cliff by Lanesboro - any reviews on this one? Any other recommendations on some nice campgrounds in SE MN that offer some peace and quiet and somewhat your own space?

Thanks for any input you may have.

You could try Harvest Farm Campground(type into your browser w/o spaces .com) I haven't tried them, but have heard they are good from a couple people at work. There is also another little one just outside of Lanesboro that looks alright, you can see it as you are heading toward Whalan on the highway on the edge of town, it is across the River. I don't know what street in town you need to turn down to get to it but the street goes over a bridge w/ a funky turn right at the end of the bridge, it's almost a right angle turn to get to it. They are good. Hope this helps ya

We stayed at Great BLuffs state park last year and I would definately recommend it to anyone who likes that area of the state. Its not exactly my cup of tea, but it was still a very nice place with lots of hiking.

Really hard to beat the Beaver Creek Valley S.P. cart in sites. You can cart in the kitchen sink if you choose, and be in a very remote site next to a babbling stream.

A+ in every way. I camp in the S.E. corner alot, and B.C. is a top shelf place.

Thanks for the responses folks.

Irvingdog - are any of the cart in sites better than the others?

thanks

I've camped at Eagle Cliffs for five years now, we have a Roughfishing Roundup down there Each Spring. The owner is a little bit infatuated with keeping the grass healthy, dogs are kind of frowned on, and it's rather expensive at 20 bucks a night. They cater to a lot of RVers. That being said, if you can get one of the spots right down by the Root River it's very nice. The fishing there is always excellent, with various species of fish. Nice trout are usually caught, along with numerous Redhorses, Smallmouth Bass, Hogsuckers and even the occasional Shovelnose Sturgeon. It's also a great spot for bird-watching. ~hogsucker

They're all pretty good on the side of the trail that is along the creek. As I remember it, only one cart-in is on the opposite side of the path.

You'll never meet a nicer guy than the ranger at this park, by the way........

Thanks for the info. I have one last question - how about campgrounds located on a lake in SE or South Central MN - any recommendations?

thanks

Kieslers in Waseca is right across the road from Clear Lake, but I hear it is spendy

Beaver Dam Resort by Cleveland is real nice. On TWO lakes, Jefferson and German. If you don't have a boat I have had decent success fishing off their docks.
