Itasca State Park

Nice state park. Electric only. Additional $7/day usage fee added to camping fees.  Be careful with larger rigs.  Great trails for biking, walking etc.

Campsites are a fair size. One drawback was that ours had a large mudhole at the front of the site. Again no water, but we're starting to get use to that. 
The paved bike trails were great.  Enjoyed riding them.

My husband I had visited the Mississippi Headwaters Center and did a few other things in the state park 5 years ago, but we wanted stay in the park this time. We had 30 amp electric and were level enough in Bear Paw site 17 that with a little more leveling, we were good. You can fill with fresh water and/or dump tanks both coming and going from the campground. Staying in the park made it much eDier to adjust plans when our hiking day was unexpectedly rained out. We'd stay again - just need to be careful to get a more level site for auto levelers use.

Stayed three nights. Half hour drive to town and laundromat. Rained most of the time while we were there but still a good experience. All and all an adequate campground. 
Doesn’t seem right that campers have to pay an additional daily park fee besides the camping rate. 

Pine Ridge campground in Itasca state park.  One of our very favorites.

Stayed for 2 nights in our 34’ 5th wheel. Enjoyed the park and the many exploring and activity options offered. We rented bikes but wished we had rented a pontoon boat instead to cruise around the lakes. My only complaint is there only being one dump station for a very large campground. This is a poor design and should be rectified. 

What a fabulous state park. RV spots by the lake or more in the woods, tent sites, camp host on duty, firewood for sale,  electric hook up, 5 minutes from MS Headwaters. Restroomsand shower house perfect.3

this is a wonderful large state park, with a layout, facilities,  historic architecture, and overall "feel" more like a national park... loads of trails for running, hiking, biking... campground sites have electric only, but plenty of water spigots around, and a dump upon exiting... some spots may need a little leveling... optimal park for smaller and mid-sized units... overall wonderful !  minnesota does it right !

There is so much to do here at the Mississippi head waters. Bike, hike, swim, boat, wade, just be... Sites are level gravel with paved access. Lots of shade and some space between sites. Large and small sites with power. Poor Verizon but a weak free wifi., Good enough for email.  All in all many say the best park in MN and one of the best we have stayed in. Go out of your way to stay here.  $31 plus. $7 day pass unless you buy a year long state part pass

Very clean and very friendly
