We took our teardrop trailer here and enjoyed the manicured/well maintained campsite (cleanest pit toilets I've ever seen, and there was a lovely modern bath/shower facility as well). There are plenty of electric campsites, which eliminated the bane of generator drone, as well as non-electric sites for tent campers. Lovely playground equipment and a volleyball court was a hit with the young people. Great hiking trails along the bluffs down to the St. Croix River. The property was once a private park for the employees and retirees from the Ceridian/Control Data Corporation. Now in the hands of Washington County, it is a lovely respite from the stress of big city life.
