The pizza and burgers are beautiful too look at and blissful to devour! The Craft Corral is something that I've never seen when camping before and there are so many fun and original things to do-my kids and grandkids are all about the glitter tattoos. You can see that a lot of time and effort is put into it. 110% will be going back as many times as we can!!

I had emailed earlier n the week to inquire about attending the gig despite not being a camper? Owner Jamie had responded it was open to the public. As we turned in we were too busy looking off in the distances to notice that the stage was RIGHT there next to the Camp Store and just steps from the parking lot! When we sauntered up with our chairs we were pleasantly surprised to see a ring of a dozen chairs around a fire pit. There were even a couple of food trucks in the parking lot, what a wonderful offering. Also took in the sights of the tall sunflowers in a... are those tomatoes? Is that a garden? Along the wall of the Store was all bikes; I didn't inquire if they were rentals or just for any camper to use; regardless a nice offering. While the band was soundchecking I took notice of a woman setting up paints on the two picnic tables n front of the Store... a kids or family activity, flag making? How fun! It was time for the set to start.... the vocalist gave a shout out to owners Jamie and Ann. Jamie took to the microphone to welcome everyone and talk about the campground and how it gives back. I apologize I don't recall all that was said or the definitions. He mentioned the community garden and hat if the crops are laying on the table, help yourself. The campground is part of the SHIP Grant..,so it gets money from the state for the garden and to host these events; despite possibly not being accurate in my description it was an interesting and lovely note. So my review isn't about actually camping but.... if I were to get back in to camping, Prairie Island would be on the top of my list!! From my seat I could see the Fish Cleaning house, a bathroom and the river. Thank you Prairie Island for an enjoyable outdoor event in the most welcoming of venues and wonderful hospitality! As I scanned around during soundcheck... I appreciated that once the gig began you brought out a hat on a racket for band tips! Then mid-show a guy picked it up and brought it around for people to put in their money; very cool. Don't skip past Prairie Island if you're looking for an outdoor getaway.....this place definitely had the nostalgia pumping hard for my youth and all the camping my parents had us doing all summer long. Thank you for all he emotions Prairie Island... last night was hello but certainly not good-bye.....it was... I will be back....to stay and take in all your beuty and offerings.

This past weekend was my first weekend camping here but also my first weekend camping ever... *cue…read morethe gasps* I don't know how I've gone all my life without camping once but yet I have. Aside from being eaten alive by mosquitos and chased around by a pesky wasp all weekend, it was a good time! Though, I would accredit this to having awesome company. The site wasn't what I expected it to be when I arrived. I was expecting more green grass, more trees, and an abundance of tents. However, there was a lack of greenery and more trailers, campers, and RVs than tents - which was a bit disappointing. It seemed like people live there during the summer because their sites were well established and decorated. The campsite has a general store with the essentials but I'm not sure if prices were reasonable or not. What wasn't reasonable was that firewood was $10 per bundle... As for other prices, I believe that they charge you per night and per tent, as well as for electricity if you choose to use it. We were only charged $140 for the weekend - there were 14 of us, we had five medium-large tents, one camper, bought two firewood bundles, and used electricity. However, we weren't charged for much aside from firewood and a couple of tents. Not sure if the owners didn't realize we had extra tents/used electricity or they were just being nice. The best part of campsite was that there were showers and actual toilets in addition to outhouses and porta-potties on site. I'm a huge germaphobe so this was a relief - which now that I think about it, this is probably the reason why I've never gone camping... Overall, not a bad experience but we'll probably go somewhere else next time.
