Great campground. High speed internet but poor cell service. Many sites are not very level front to back, requiring some ingenuity to get level. Sites 1-9 are fairly level but the 20's are quite sloped. The road and site surfaces are sandy clay. When wet, traction is poor on the sloping sites and tires will spin and dig grooves in the road. When dry, the roads are fine and do drain/dry quickly. Trails and lake access great. Picnic area wonderful. Well maintained throughout. Clean bath house and laundry facilities (same building). Only one washer and 2 dryers, but most campers were weekenders when we were there, so no problem with availability. Nice location for visiting Itasca SP, Lake Bemidji SP, City of Bemidji.

Very nice alternative to a heavily used Itasca State Park. 5 miles from Itasca and your entry into La Salle also give you access to Itasca. All sites are FHU back in only but plenty of room between sites. Bath/restrooms are super clean and brand new. Each site has a fire ring and picnic table.
