Description: Located in a small town in southern Minnesota, this self check-in facility has large sites with paved roads and concrete pads with FHU 50A. They even have free wifi. All this right on a small lake with a boat launch and super nice fish cleaning table. The town’s swimming pool and big water slide is on the other side of the cg. We stayed on site 6 of this 20 site cg. The sites are walk-in only (no reservation), but 15 of the sites are seasonal rentals so that doesn’t leave much for us transients. A local resident said that the town is trying to build another cg on the other side of the lake for transients if the DNR approves. It would be real close to a railroad track that isn’t all that busy.
Trash and Recycle: Dumpster near the boat ramp and comingle recycle bins.
Activities: Not much to do here but I started my morning walking routine again because they have such a nice sidewalk system in St. James. There is a 4 mile loop of sidewalk/paved path around the lake for a good bike ride although it is in the sun beside the roads more than the lake. We enjoyed watching the boat launch area and chatting with the locals. Don’s Tires fixed our truck tire which had a nail in it in just a few minutes.

ReplyDeleteLooks like a very nice spot and FHU for $20 is fantastic. You guys are brave to walk into a place with so few sites available.
