Summary
Reservations are required via the Minnesota State Parks website, and a modest nightly fee applies. Sites include fire rings, picnic tables, and pit toilets; no flush toilets, showers, water, or hookups are available, so campers must pack in water. Set on a steep, forested Mississippi River bluff, the park provides a quiet, scenic escape with panoramic views. The Riverview Trail leads to an overlook with stunning vistas. Best visited spring through fall, the park is ideal for hikers and solitude seekers craving a primitive, nature-immersed experience.

Camping Essential Practices
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
