Reasonably priced, Very clean, very quiet and nicely landscaped. Met Kurt, son of the owner- what a super friendly guy. There is a nice walking path around the lake. All the RV spaces are gravel, spacious, wide for parking our tow, and with a portion of grass. It was easy to maneuver our 43 ft Class A Coach. We backed into spot #7, for two nights. Perfect !! Very nice. YES....highly recommended!!

The location is great and the staff is friendly, but the mosquitos are the worst we've experienced…read moreat a state park. Half of the campers we saw had bug netting or a fan which would've made our experience much more enjoyable. We usually hike at parks, but couldn't bear the idea of more mosquito bites. We camped in B and appreciated the trees between the campsites for a bit of privacy. If you have an awning, use it if you're going to sit by the camper - the tree over us dropped 10-20 acorns just on the awning while we were there for a weekend. If you need a dump station, this location does not have one. There is a free spot a few miles up the road in Owatonna (pic for reference)

Very flat easy trail hiking. I bumped up the rating a bit because of lovely hike along the lake…read more The trail goes right past all the camp sites but, fortunately, no one was camping when we walked by so it was quiet and peaceful. We did the main trail but added a snow mobile trail section to make it a bit longer. That section took us out of the woods and into a grassy field. Lots of wild flowers and butterflies. We did not see many birds but the lake views and reeds were lovely.

Mineral Springs is the most natural setting of all the multi-purpose parks in Owatonna. It's an old…read morepark, and its geography is probably what's prevented the addition of facilities for field sport's like baseball and soccer. It does however offer volleyball, disc golf, and very nice horseshoe courts. Maple Creek twists and turns through the park, and bridges span it in several places. The area around the pavilion is wooded, but groomed and not cluttered. There is a parking lot next to the pavilion and there is another to the north, across a bridge. There are picnic tables and trails that lead uphill to the woods. There is a statue of Princess Owatonna, with a sign describing the story that ties her with this area. This park may not have all the features that some of the others do, but to just get away to a peaceful natural setting, it is my favorite.

Visited today with my daughter. Beautiful. Well kept. Perfect place for pictures, playing, bbq,…read morehorseshoes, disc golf, walking paths. Love visiting this park!

We really enjoyed our stay at Lakeview Resort. My family and I stayed a week at a very reasonably…read morepriced cabin. It slept 4-6 and we fit quite nicely. We had 6 +baby and it worked just fine because of awesome outside space. The views of the lake and the new firepit were awesome. It was a very relaxed setting. The pool was amazing and we used it every day, just steps away from our cabin. The lodge has a pool table, large screen tv, and foosball. I liked having Direct TV. Waterville was a nice, quaint small town with a small market and a few stores. Lots of access to the lake from resort and other spots. Make sure you bring some games and pool toys, plenty of towels, some extra bedding, cleaning supplies, and a great attitude. The seasonal renters and the owner were very friendly and included us in all the activities on the weekend. No hidden fees or drama on check out. Wifi was a little slow so don't plan on working everyday. Just enhoy the friendly, relaxing environment.

This place is just...bad. We stayed one night in Cabin 10. The cabin was small- a tight fit for two…read moreadults and 4 kids- and the other cabins are even smaller. It was poorly constructed and poorly maintained and worst of all it was dirty. The stove had two bent burners and all the pots and pans were either dirty or broken. The silverware and plates were dirty too. The air conditioning is a window unit in the main room. It was 95 degrees outside the night we were there. When we shut the bedroom doors it got very hot and smelled of cigarette smoke. The hide a bed couch was covered in stains and felt dirty to the touch. There were flies and moths in all the rooms. The patio area had a plastic picnic table covered in food and beverage spills and the gravel under foot was littered with cigarette butts. There is a wooden play structure near the cabins but it is installed over packed dirt so kids can easily get hurt if they fall and there were old rusty broken toys laying around. There is a view of Lake Sakatah from the patio but you have to walk down a steep hill, across a busy road, down a steep set of stairs and onto a narrow metal dock to access the water. You can't swim in the lake. There is a small pool but it's not very clean and little kids are not allowed in it. There was no wifi access and the tv had access restricted on many of the channels. We had originally planned on staying 4 nights and we had reserved all 4 cabins for a family reunion. We bailed at 6am and found another location for the reunion.

They have guys that will put your lift in for you for a very small fee and take it out in the fall. Sandie and Ed are very easy to rent from and are good people.
