There is a mini fridge and Keurig. We definitely would visit again!

Overall it's a nice little campground near home. We stayed in a covered wagon and out was a very…read morehot weekend. The AC kept the place pretty cool but the fridge did not keep things cold. We even turned it down to the lowest setting but still didn't help. It was great they had a pool and splash pad but they didn't open until 10 and while the sign said closed at 8, the online policy you sign said it closed at dusk. We went just after 8 and were told it was closed. We pointed out the policy and was told they had to update the website. It was disappointing and not a great impression. The camping spaces are very close together and for the price to stay in the wagon ($175/night) you have to bring basically everything to cook and stay. Overall it's fine for a little getaway and we live close but I probably won't come back.

They have a safe and secure process in the morning for entering camp outside the facility. What really sets this apart is the variety of activities they have for kids of all ages. Never, ever, have my kids actually been exciting about going to "daycare" until we brought them here. The only disappointing feature is that they currently close in the winter. We will definitely bring them back once they reopen. So glad we found this place!

A Gem: Fort Snelling State Park…read more Rating: I visited Fort Snelling State Park on Memorial Day and I was blown away. Not what you'd expect from the name I know, but this is no ordinary park - it's better. From the moment I walked in I was struck by the natural beauty of the park. If you love the outdoors this is the place for you with plenty of hiking and exploring to be had. The staff do a great job of keeping the park clean and up to date. One of the highlights of my visit was the bike trail. I brought my bike and it was a great decision. The trail is well maintained and has great views of the surrounding area. Plus the park is close to several other trails so it's a great place to start a longer ride. I'm already planning on coming back to use this park as my starting point for future bike adventures. Overall I highly recommend Fort Snelling State Park to anyone looking for a beautiful outdoor experience. Whether you're a seasoned hiker, casual biker or just someone who loves the great outdoors this park has something for everyone. From the natural beauty to the location and trails Fort Snelling State Park is a gem that needs to be found.

We visited in a small travel trailer and had one of the pull thru sites, #52. It seemed to be one of the few with no shade and will request a different site next week when we return. However, it's convenient to everything and not a bad site, just others we like better after seeing the layout. They deliver your firewood to your site for you. A small bundle at the store is $7 or you can upgrade to $10 for twice as much and it's delivered right to your site. We stayed 2 nights while visiting relatives in the area and my boys (twins age 11) loved it! The mini golf ($2/player) is clean and well maintained, though the cups are higher than the greens on a few holes leaving us frustrated on a few shots.. shuffleboard was a hit (free) and the game room with air hockey ($.75/game) was where they spent most of their time. The game goes until someone scores 7 points. The other games were $.50 each. The pool was clean and had many chairs, though on the weekend it had more people than we wanted to hang with so we didn't do the pool. Wifi is available but very slow. I don't agree that it's not a destination spot as we've been to many campgrounds that definitely are NOT.. this KOA has the nicest and caring group of people working there as well as immaculate grounds, that I would recommend it highly. Obviously there are a multitude of things to do in the area and this is a great base camp for that. My only issue with all KOA's in general is that my boys cannot pop up a tent outside our tiny trailer with plenty of space and grass. That is a KOA rule so I can't pick on this place too bad about it. We are returning again next week for 3 nights and my boys are excited to stay again

There are lots of spots to camp, they have their own beach (in the summer), beautiful lakes, lots of hiking trails, etc. I look forward to coming back not only to this park but others that are part of the pass.
