This campground is 5 stars all around and we will definitely return…read more There are no sewer hook ups so you kind of have to use their restrooms/showers unless you drive to the dump station if you are staying for a week.. thus, the drop in a star (to be mentioned below) The GOOD: Pretty much everything! Lots of shade, big sites, signs everywhere to find your way, TONS of trails, dog friendly, friendly staff.. Bunker beach is walking distance, the activity/event center is gorgeous. There are stables at the regional park as well as the stunning golf course that we did not use. Just absolutely beautiful grounds. Bring a bike or take some long hikes. Maps are well marked and so much to see! Our California campgrounds are not this green and lush or have sites so spacious so we LOVED that! The BAD: Spiders (Daddy long legs) everywhere.. we sprayed eco friendly bug spray each day around the picnic table, tent and trailer and helped a bit.. but after 3 spiders on the window curtain next to my bed in he RV and a big old spider ON my bed.. I had a big more compassion for my boys in the tent with too many of them to count on top of the tent. Bathrooms - need to be cleaned as the sinks were pretty gross on most occasions. The water in the shower? I froze for all 3 showers and there is no way to control the hot/cold, no water pressure (which is kind of common at campgrounds) but not even a spray.. just a slow trickle/stream from the shower except in the family bathroom, a faint spray (also cold). Oddly, my boys showered once in the men's showers and said it was too hot, they had to get out. The showers were also unpleasant with spiders everywhere, moths flying at you from every direction. There were grasshoppers in abundance as well, but the moths were pretty disgusting. The GOOD FAR FAR outweigh the BAD and definitely recommend a stay here. It IS camping so just expect a lot of bugs around and you won't be disappointed!

Pros: Great workers, great location, lots of nice aesthetic upgrades, huge potential…read more Cons: electric grid is old and can't support 50amp hookups on the weekends even though it's advertised to (3 years in a row of not being able to handle our 5th wheel on busy weekends), beach is mud and needs sand

Others just seemed to want to party and take over our space! Way too many people come within feet of your camper, so no privacy at all! The owners seem to try and keep things pretty clean, but since it is so busy, it just doesnt work very well. There are no paved roads so everything is dusty or muddy!

The trails with its scenic view platforms and boardwalks are fun to get engaged in the parks open natural spaces. The picnic shelter is nice and well maintained. I live the Pilot Rock picnic tables in the park. I was impressed how they are restoring 24-acres of native prairie. Their approach is unique using conservation grazing with sheep and goats. They have a nature play area and are working on a new design. This is going to be an even better park when the planning is done.

It is called the crown jewel of Elk River Park system (with good reason). This park offers: archery & biathlon ranges, cross country skiing trails, paved & grass trails, picnic tables, benches, and the Glacial Ridge Nature Play Area (fort building sticks, log balance beam, boulder scramble, log climbing, tunnels, benches and water pump feature). We took an evening hike with the Elk River Park & Rec Department and explored a nice trail. They arranged to have a demonstration of the Biathlon at the shooting range.

This is a great trail park to take walks.

That aside, there's a nice covered shelter there, the trails are nice and clean and paved, they have plenty of maps everywhere along the trails and the nature is beautiful.

The bathrooms are locked in the off season, but there are porta potties. I went for a hike and it didn't disappoint. I found ducks, geese, and deer. The only weird thing is the park is designed so similarly to Hyland that it confused me a bit as far as navigating.

I recently visited AirMaxx Trampoline Park in Saint Cloud and overall is was a great experience!…read moreThey have a wide variety of activities besides the trampolines.There are foam pits,dodgeball courts and obstacle areas that keep it interesting for both the kids and adults.Today was just about the kids to tire they out on this windy cold day. The areas were clean and well-maintained. The staff were friendly and attentive, especially when it came to safety. There are attendants in each area.It feels like a great place for families, birthday parties, or even just a casual day out to burn some energy. We arrived right when they opened and the line was a decent one.The kids jumped and played for an hour and as we prepared to leave it got busy real quick.I would show up as early as possible.The price was fair at $16 for an hour with deeper discounts the longer you stay.

Well I come from a family that doesn't go camping or does many outdoorsy things besides walking or biking. So I decided, why not take everyone kayaking to see how it goes. The price for a the kayaking rental was affordable, but also they fit you and take care of you very well here. You're not really timed on the rental, its more of, "Hey let us know when you get to the pick up point and we will go pick you up." They are super friendly, and even launched my family and myself from the dock themselves. Of course, there is a safety video, life jackets, a map and kayaking accessories. But besides that, it was a great experience on the Mississippi. We brought food on the trip as well, so eating fried chicken on the Mississippi was great. I would go with Clear Waters Outfitting Co. again. The pick up was great, the driver was very sociable, and accommodating to our needs. Bottom line: Great place to rent from, and a great staff behind them.
