I'm a bit of a glamping kind of lady and the cabins at Cedar Shores are log homes away from home. Everything was clean and even the comforters were freshly laundered. Our family stayed in cabin #6 and it has a beautiful deck with a fantastic view and direct access to the beach. They supplied the water toys to include kayaks and canoes. The beach was cleaned every morning by Louis, one of the family proprietors. If we needed anything, Juanita or Louis was right there for us. They care about their guests and give their property TLC. We hope to spend many more weeks in late summer at Cedar Shores!

First time visiting this park as we are on a quest to visit all MN State Parks…read more We pulled into the visitor center parking lot and experienced a torrential downpour with hail. We waited out the storm for 20-30 min then headed inside. The visitor center is very cabin-y. Nice and cozy with lots of display and educational opportunities. Bathrooms were spacious and clean. I bought some postcards in the gift shop and the person working there was so helpful with walking us through trails and maps. We walked the Ozawindib and Landmark trails plus, of course, seeing the Mississippi headwaters. The trails were in great shape, especially given the amount of rain that had just fallen. We were nearly alone on the two trails. The headwaters were was busy. There were two areas where a tree had fallen across the trail but we still could get around it. Keep in mind, the Wilderness Drive is one way on the West side which means you may have to go around the whole park again depending on your destination. We also had a bowl of chicken wild rice soup for lunch in the cafe at the north entrance. It was quite good.

We waited for an hour around 4pm since only six people can go up at a time. And I didn't even make it to the top because it was absolutely terrifying.

Since they have downgraded the amount of campers it has been an even better place to because everyone out there is like family and care about one another.

The facilities were spotless. The price was reasonable. The sunset view from our campsite was across a lovely lake. We were right across from the bathrooms, and it was surprisingly quiet.

We didn't leave until 3:00, well past check out time. I highly recommend this campground. And don't miss the Akeley museum while you're in town. It's an easy walk from the campground.
