We just stayed overnight in the campground but enjoyed walking over to the park area and looking at the lake and the birds. Campsite was level and very neat.

My wife and I love this campsite, especially in the fall. Large, well maintained spaces and everyone is so nice! See you in 2025.

- Very clean!!!- Park Rangers and Campground host was around a lot- Enjoyed the playgrounds and fishing areas.- Loved the wood ordering and delivery system

@ElizabethM1936 · Camped on Sep 29, 2024 at Campsite #6

Three nights at campsite 6. Very private site. Camp at Gull Lake often as its just an hour from my home. Campsites are cared for by camp hosts and are always neat and clean. Bathrooms are kept clean as well. Firewood is purchased online, delivered to your site and supports a local charity. Beach is family friendly and well kept. Boat launch parking lot is almost always full, but theres an overflow lot. Fishing by the dam.

Very well maintained

@SharonH5098220 · Camped on Sep 23, 2024 at Campsite #22

We loved our visit. The sites were great, lots of trees for privacy and a nice walking path/road. It is not far to the beach for fishing and swimming.

@LawrenceG1FF7A · Camped on Sep 20, 2024 at Campsite #8

Clean facility. The bathroom by the dumb station is in excellent shape and convenient to wash hands after dumb station. Host were very on task. They made themselves seen frequently.

@BrendaS8017425 · Camped on Sep 19, 2024 at Campsite #3

This is one place that makes our list of places to stay every year! Spacious sites, great access, very nice bathrooms and showers PLUS fishing on Gull Lake! The staff is super friendly as well.

@HollyFDD0219CC · Camped on Sep 15, 2024 at Campsite #23

This has to be one of the cleanest and nicest corp parks that we have visited

@MichaelM541440 · Camped on Sep 9, 2024 at Campsite #21

Sites and entire campground were very clean. We had the ranger stop in to visit and pass out campground information. We also had firewood delivered to our campsite.

@WilliamB132333 · Camped on Sep 9, 2024 at Campsite #20

stayed at site 20 on sept 9th to sept 12th and it was the worst camping experince my wife and I have ever had. There was construction going on right behind our campsite from 7am to 7pm every day we were there, 100 FEET AWAY and was very LOUD. If i would have known we would not have come, why was this not posted on your website? My wife and i have camped there for many years, not sure about coming back..

@MarkE7119489 · Camped on Sep 9, 2024 at Campsite #28

Very nice park and campground. Neat, clean campsite and rest rooms.

@Stephanie555CC · Camped on Sep 6, 2024 at Campsite #12A

Lovely scenery and grounds were kept very clean. Lots of places to bike, hike, and swim. The bathrooms are amazing and the showers had warm water!

@RogerM3929062 · Camped on Sep 1, 2024 at Campsite #11

The staff and hosts are excellent!

@KenH4960616 · Camped on Aug 27, 2024 at Campsite #22

This is a very well kept campground. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. It was quite full but quiet. We had a great experience.

@MaxH9810728 · Camped on Aug 19, 2024 at Campsite #7

Very clean park that is well maintained! Unfortunately while we were there we overwhelmed by mosquitoes. Yes, I would go back either eaiin the season or later.

@LaceySCAAD9F55 · Camped on Aug 14, 2024 at Campsite #3

The sites are huge! They are very private! And they are gravel so not much dirt. Beautiful beach in walking distance with a park and picnic area, including a volleyball net. Great bathrooms and shower rooms. And we enjoyed looping the place walking our dog everyday too. Highly recommend and we stayed several times this summer as our boys like to golf at The Pines at Grand View Logde, very close to this campground.

@CarolL4146824 · Camped on Aug 11, 2024 at Campsite #30

The mosquitos were HORRIBLE!!!! Couldn't sit outside without getting eaten alive! Unacceptable! Why don't you spray anymore? We come here every year. Never had this problem before.

@JeanD4918241 · Camped on Aug 8, 2024 at Campsite #39

Very clean.

@JimH4011279 · Camped on Aug 6, 2024 at Campsite #11

This is an awesome campground! It is so clean and well maintained. We found the park manager as well as the park volunteers to be extremely friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. It is very obvious that the staff here truly care about the campground and they work very hard to make sure the folks camping have an enjoyable visit. Last year we were in site #13 and this year site#11. We have a 37 ft fifth wheel and we fit with plenty of room to spare. The sites are large and some are semi private.

@MontigA51C207D · Camped on Aug 4, 2024 at Campsite #24

beautiful park, spacious, pretty quiet, ( maybe a little road construction). lol but overall pretty good. Dogs barking was limited.

@DeborahW920812 · Camped on Jul 27, 2024 at Campsite #9

Nice clean campground. I was site#9. Large, level, gravel site with privacy woods surrounding it. Quiet during nights but loud construction going on near by. Rangers very strict about using only approved firewood from Minnesota. Not too far from Brainerd with lots of shops & restaurants.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
