Swan Lake Campground near Fergus Falls

So I guess a huge group of us are heading to Swan Lake Campground near Fergus Falls. Has anyone been there? Experiences? Amenities? I'm going to be trying out a new massive car-camping tent. Is this a busy campground?

Thanks

We stayed at the Swan Lake Campground a couple of years ago with another family and tented it. The site(s) we had were across the road from the main camping/resort area. Was a little more open and less crowded. There are quite a few seasonal sites set up with the larger RV/Travel Trailers. There are also cabins for rent. If I remember right, there are also a few tent sites very close to the lake. There is a game room, fish cleaning shack, and shower/restroom building which, depending on where your site is can be quite the walk. Owners were very friendly and helpful. There is also a boat ramp if you have a boat and a small swimming beach area. All in all it was a pleasant camping experience. Not sure how fishing is, never made it out on the water. The weather did not cooperate.

We'll be with a large group. Someone already has the weekend planned with events. I'm hoping to try the fishing. But all in all I just want a relaxing weekend with the women and some beer. A few nice fish would just make it better.

We caught tons of bass. Nothing big but the women got 7 in like 2 hours. Plastic worms drifting over weed flats and throwing the shore was the ticket. Think purple.

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
