This hidden gem is amazing. We took a chance to get a spot, as it’s first come first serve and it’s beautiful. $10 with 20amp electric. Our RV is 34ft and we fit with no problem on two different sites. Well worth taking the chance for a spot. No dump or water, but the Petro travel center in Albert Lea, MN, about 16min away, offers free dump and potable water. Can’t beat this!!

It's a nice place for $10 a night with almost no amenities. Just beware all you get is a 20 amp connection with no water or sewer hookups nor a dump station. I believe there are 8 sites: 3 with gravel and the rest are grass, with 2 of the gravel sites facing Silver Lake, which also appear to be the 2 sites closest to level with the grass sites being well off level. There appears to be an outhouse, but I didn't use it. The RV park/farm next door can be loud, which is my biggest complaint. Further, I wouldn't take any RV in there over 30'. It's off a gravel road and easy miss.
