Really nice lady runs the place with nice facilities (showers, bathroom,), running water, fire rings, and electricity. Has at least 10 campsites, just give the lady a call and you're all set. (About $20 a night) if you need a place to stay and don't care about views or being in a park this place is great.

Not fancy, but it was just what we needed and only $20. Minnow Lake Campground saved us when we discovered the state park campground nearby was full at a time we didn't expect. It was dark and we needed somewhere to stay so we pulled in here, only one other camper there. We were pleasantly surprised to meet the very nice woman who owns it. She even gave our kids a ride on her golf cart as we packe... Not fancy, but it was just what we needed and only $20.

She even gave our kids a ride on her golf cart as we packed up! The bathroom and shower were simple, but clean and with hot water and good pressure. It's basically an open field with sites and electric. Two paths lead to a dam.

Really nice old lady runs the place. Cheapest price in the area ($18 for two people tenting), and had nice facilities- fire pit, indoor bathrooms and showers, electricity. No wifi.
