Moose Lake State Park

This State park is a hidden jewel, nice quiet campground and picture perfect lake. The trails are nice with plenty of scenery. This park still has many first come first serve sights. It's a great weekend get away park.

I stayed here one night in April 2017, at campsite 26e. The electric spots generally have fantastic privacy and are spaced apart pretty well, but are otherwise unremarkable. This park tends to be much less busy (and less beautiful) than anything on the North Shore (including Jay Cooke State Park).

The park is relatively close to I-35, making it suitable for a one-nighter on the road to somewhere else. Very little highway noise at the campground. The road from the park entrance to the campground is a little under a mile and it’s dirt with some ruts. Should be no issue for tiny cars and big class A RVs alike, as long as you take it slow.

My campsite and several others were level, but you have to reverse down an incline to get there. Not all were this way.

26e had working and correctly wired 30A electric.

Cell service at campsite:

AT&T: 1-2 bars LTE, feels incredibly slow, 1253ms ping, 2.1mbps down, 2.67mbps up
Verizon: 2 bars 1x, essentially unusable, 390ms ping, 0.03mbps down, 0.06mbps up – but sometimes a bar of LTE would come in. Much better LTE service toward park entrance and good service next to and on I-35.
T-Mobile: 2 bars LTE, 84ms ping, 13.95mbps down, 0.48mbps up

Across I-35 is a McDonald’s, Mobil, and KwikTrip.

We stayed weekend of 4/30-5/2, 2021. Trails are nice and wider than most. Echo Lake offers fishing and a nice swimming and picnic area. Campgrounds are relatively quiet and divided into three loops. The loop on end of road has best spacing and electric service. We will definitely return for summer and/or fall to experience other seasons at this relaxing park! Deducted 1/2 star for 30amp service not working at our site. 20amp was operable so still able to power every with planning.
