I live across the freeway and used this campground to exile from home when my girlfriend had covid. It worked well for this purpose. The location for that regard was nice but it would also be a decent location for visiting the Twin Cities Metro area. The site was a good size and mine was a pull through site. However the pull through site did not offer as much privacy as the back-in sites. The back in sites had decent tree and shrub coverage on the sides. It wasn't terribly level side to side. The water pressure was good. I had 48 over the air TV channels. Verizon was giving me 2 bars of LTE but it was often unusable. The dump station was paved and in good condition. The park has some nice trails which goes around Centerville lake. At $45 I did think it was kind of expensive for a water/electric site. I was there during the week and most other sites were empty so it was pretty quiet.

We stayed here as a shakedown run of our new camper. We knew from satalite maps and pictures that it wouldn't a particularly private Campground but we didn't expect it to be as open as it was. There was no brush or trees between out campsite and the two behind us and the one to our right. There is absolutely zero privacy. You are exposed on all sides. Our fire ring was as close to our camper as our neighbors. Every direction we looked out of our camper we could easily see people. This Campground is also swarming with kids who were apparently not taught to look before running or riding their bikes into a roadway. The closeness of the same sites along with the number of them and being in a river valley made the air quality from all the camp fires in the evening very poor. We didn't use the shower or bathroom buildings so I am unable to comment on that. The good: the site was fairly easy to get into, it was pretty level, the electric pedestal was in a good location, firewood is for sale right in the Campground, and there is drinking water available to fill your camper at the dump station. We probably wouldn't stay here again unless we need to do a shakedown again.

Note: I marked cell service as 1 bar of lte which is what our phones indicated but it was functional useless as pretty much nothing would load.

We stayed here to explore that region for a few days in September. The loop we were in looks like it was recently cemented. The traffic flow on the loop is kind of odd as the inside loop people go one way and the outside loop go another. Our site was a gravel pull thru which was somewhat low on the left. There was no privacy and the smoke from the people on the other side of the loop came in our window. We had two bars of Verizon LTE which was perfectly functional and we had 8 over the air TV channels. The flies were pretty bad when we were there. You can hear frequent trains on the tracks by the river which run around the clock. it didn't really bother us but it might others.

We stayed in lot 1C for the Indy 500 weekend. We arrived on the evening of Thursday before the race. Upon arrival there are people at the entrance to greet you and then you follow someone in a golf cart to where they want to park you. This is basically a field they allow people to park campers and put up tents. it had been raining the day we arrived so the ground was pretty soft. We followed another camper behind the golf cart to the spot they were going to put us. The camper in front of us ended up getting stuck in the soft ground. Luckily we were able to get situation without getting stuck. The grass in the field was kind of tall and could have used a mow. There's no marked off spots and you're just parked in a field. There is a kind of party type atmosphere here. On saturday there was a group with very loud speakers and music for most of the day. Luckily we were gone most of that day. Since there is no power there are a lot of generators as well. This is not the place to be if you want quiet and privacy as you will get none of that. The reason to stay here is convenience to the race track. The walk from our campsite to the turn 4 gate was about ten minutes. After the race we showered in our trailer, took a nap, and hung out until about 8pm to let the traffic subside. This worked great as we had no traffic issues on departure. The Verizon data was pretty solid. We received more than 60 over the air TV channels. We'd probably stay here again because of the convenience to the track and not having to deal with parking or traffic. However going into it with the mindset that you're there as a means to an end and not there to enjoy camping and to be prepared for the people and noise will make it a better expereience.

We stayed here to go to the races at Rockford Speedway. The campground was wooded providing nice shade but not great for solar production. The sites were a good size and offered good spacing between the sites, but did not provide any real privacy. We had to level our trailer side to side only slightly. The campground was fairly quiet when we were there in early May and was maybe 50% full. The light by the bathroom building was kind of obnoxious. We got 6 TV channels but they were mostly digitized and not really watchable. Maybe if you had a better antenna than the crappy one in our trailer you'd do better. We had two bars of Verizon LTE but it seemed somewhat unreliable. At the dump station the foot thing to open the sewer drain lid was broken so it had to be opened by hand. The sewer drain itself was very large so the usual elbow we use at every dump station didn't secure to the hole as usual however the drain was deep enough that the hose could be put down inside and no mess was made while draining. The rinse hose has no threads so you'll need something like water bandit if you want to use it with a hose to connect to a black tank flush. Overall the setting of this campground was nice and we'd stay here again.

If you want to visit Hot Springs and the national park this is a very convenient campground. The sites are pretty small, very close together, and with zero privacy. The campground was completely full when we were there in mid April. For being full and with little space between sites the other campers were remarkably quiet. There was a quite a bit of road noise though. We did have a stream behind our site which was nice. We had three bars of verizon LTE by zero TV channels.

We stayed in the Lakeside campground as it had electric. However, as the state of Minnesota seems to like to do in their electric camgrounds the site are very close together. There was no trees or brush between the sites and no real privacy between any of the sites. There was no site to our right, but the site to our left was very close. Fortunately there was no one in that site while we were there or it would have made for a much less enjoyable experience. This wasn't the quietest campground as there were constantly kids riding their bikes past. The cell service from verizon was very spotty. Generally good enough for texting, but not good enough for reliable data. There is wifi in the campground, but as it is not intended for streaming or downloading stuff it is somewhat slow, but it works well enough for loading weather radar.

Next time I go to Lake Bronson I would choose the Two Rivers campground. Those sites are wooded with good privacy between them.

We stayed here two nights to do some stuff in Milwaukee. The campsites are pretty big and the pad was paved but not terribly long. Our 20 foot camper plus tow vehicle barely fit. The sites don't have a ton of privacy but they're spaced nicely. The first night we were there was a Thursday and the campground was maybe 25% full. The next night, Friday, it was full. The campground seemed pretty noisy with parking dogs, screaming children, and people who stayed up until midnight laughing like Hyenas. This campground does not have a dump station, which is fine, but they should think about adding a place to fill water that isnt inside the campground loop. On Friday afternoon there was a trailer blocking the campground road while they spent fifteen minutes filling their water near a parking area. There was a park ranger parked behind them about 100 feet who just sat there doing nothing for some reason. Our campsite was between the two and we were unable to leave. When the blocking camper finally finished they proceeded around the campground loop where they encountered another trailer doing the same thing facing the wrong way. Fortunately at this point we were able to turn around and exit the wrong way. The verizon data here was pretty good. We had 20 over the air tv channels. We would stay here again if we were going to be visiting Milwaukee, but we wouldn't stay here just for camping sake. It should also be noted that you will need to get a daily or yearly county parks vehicle pass to stay here.

We had a lakeside site which had an absolutely stunning sunset view when we arrived. We stayed in the middle of April and had an the entire loop to ourselves. We were on the end so we had a lot of space from other sites and the site was quite large however offered little privacy. The water hookup was kind of far from the pad and required an extra length of hose to reach. The site was very level. We had three bars of LTE but were unable to receive any TV channels. If you use Google maps to get here be sure to double check the routing. It tried to take us on an odd route past a facility that warned of blasting. The wind off the lake got pretty intense for a time overnight.

We stopped here for the night on the way from Minnesota to Nashville. The Google Maps routing from the north takes you on some rather questionable roads when you're pulling a trailer so double check your route so that you're on the main roads for as long as possible. Our campsite had a good amount of space between the neighboring sites. There was no vegetation between sites so no real privacy. The campground seemed mostly quiet while we were there. Our site was slightly off level to the left and pretty good front to back. We had 2 bars of Verizon LTE and 25 over the air TV channels. I think we'd probably stay here again if we're on the way through. No minimum stay for a holiday weekend was nice.
