What others are saying about this campground
Chester Woods is a county park located just east of Rochester, MN. It offers a variety of activities, including camping, fishing, hiking, swimming, and canoeing. The campground has 48 sites with 9 dedicated to tents and one to the camp host. Most of the sites have electric hookups, but no water hookups. There is a fish cleaning house next to the campground with electric lighting, but no running water. The campground is moderately hilly and not overly suitable for younger children riding bikes. It can get noisy on the weekend, but the sites are nice along the edge of the campground. The lake offers the opportunity to fish for panfish, catfish, and bass, and there are a lot of submerged trees from before the Creek was dammed that provide good habitat in deep water. There is a nature center, free activities, two playgrounds, and plenty of pavilions to eat under. There are also walking and paved biking trails, and a small dog park. A $5/day pass is required for visitors, but campers pay $5 for their entire stay.
