Access is off State Highway 9, just west of Sunburg, via County Road 95.
Not a park for everyone. This park doesn't have it all which might be rough for some campers but it worked out just fine for us.
Pro's: Small park, only 20 sites, the majority of the sites are well separated. This seems to keep it a bit quieter, at least when we were there anyway. Boat launch and fishing pier. We didn't use either, but there were a few fishing boats that went out.
Con's: really only 1 - 1 mile long hiking trail. No playground, ice or wood. You can get wood and ice at Sibley State Park about 15 minutes away.
Very quiet, nice trails—but very few of them. Walked them several times over the course of 2 days. Most campsites are private with lots of trees, except 15, 17, 19. No beach. If you want a small, quiet campground to just chill out, read, play games, this is a good one. If you’re wanting more activity, you need to go to a different park.
This is a beautiful small state park right on the lake. The sites seem like a decent size (ours was huge) with plenty of tree coverage. I really enjoyed my stay there but it might not be for everyone. There is flush toilets and a shower but there's no bike trail, playground, or beach for kids. There's only one hiking trail that's a mile long but it was just fine for our dogs. I don't think the office is ever open anymore so if you need firewood or ice you'll have to go to Sibley SP which is about 15 minutes away. If you want a small quiet park without a lot of traffic that really gives you the feeling of camping in the woods then this is the place for you. However if you want a park with lots of amenities then you might want to keep looking elsewhere.
Beautiful nature area in Central Minnesota! During my visits, I kayaked on Monson Lake and walked the hiking trail around the park. A diverse wildlife setting just west of Sibley State Park with less traffic.
