We took our teardrop trailer here and enjoyed the manicured/well maintained campsite (cleanest pit toilets I've ever seen, and there was a lovely modern bath/shower facility as well). There are plenty of electric campsites, which eliminated the bane of generator drone, as well as non-electric sites for tent campers. Lovely playground equipment and a volleyball court was a hit with the young people. Great hiking trails along the bluffs down to the St. Croix River. The property was once a private park for the employees and retirees from the Ceridian/Control Data Corporation. Now in the hands of Washington County, it is a lovely respite from the stress of big city life.

This is my favorite ski area in Minnesota, the hill is great. Since I’m an instructor (for skijammers not Afton) find that some of the hills are great for beginner skier
