Itasca State Park, July 17-20, 2014

Itasca State Park has 2 campgrounds. Pine Ridge is the newer campground. The sites are a bit more open in the front part and very private and wooded in the back. The back sites don't have electricity. The bathrooms in this park are newer and very nice offering private bathroom facilities and single room showers. The other campground is Bear Paw. They have a few housekeeping cabins, the bathrooms are log cabin and you can see the lake from some of the sites. We stayed at Bear Paw this trip and really liked this campground. We were with my family so we had 3 sites and one of the cabins. The sites aren't huge in this park, but they are nice and our site was very private.
