Great Campground! The topography in the park is fascinating. Wonderful hiking trails A place to visit again !

Glacial Lakes State Park near Starbuck, Minnesota, is a peaceful and beautifully maintained destination with rolling hills, clear lakes, and scenic trails that showcase the best of prairie and glacial landscapes. The campsites are clean, quiet, and perfect for smaller RVs or campervans like the Mini-T Campervan, while the cabins offer a great stay option for those without camping gear. With calm waters for paddling, good fishing, and plenty of wildlife to spot, this park is an excellent stop for anyone exploring Minnesota’s state parks.

Clean, quiet and diverse. Tent camping, permanent cabins or horse tie out areas for equestrians. Prairie- trails/ flowers, lake- fishing or swimming/ boating or oak forests- shade/comfort and quiet all around. The group area has a huge shelter with an amazing fire-pit area with picnic tables- seating and lots of parking. Most all sites have cook- charcoal grill stands. Bathrooms are mostly out-houses with concrete foundations. Overall roads are nice and gravel is kept up. Signs are clear and easy to read/ directions to all campgrounds. We loved the gigantic dock with 2 Picnic tables, can't wait to have a lunch there! Book early! This park is always full!!!

Nice, quiet park, not very busy when we were there. Have a small swimming area and a place to rent kayaks, babies and paddle boards. The hiking club hike was very nice, as was Mardy's trail that goes around the lake. We've had a wet summer, so the mosquitos are bad, as well as flies. Three big snapping turtles live near the dock by the swimming area and lots of curious fish. Lots of benches and picnic tables to sit and enjoy the early fall!

Stayed 2 nights. Nice diagonal back in spaces with a lot of shade. Clean, quiet. Good hiking club trail ~ about 3.0 mile loop from lower camp ground.
