What others are saying about this campground
Afton State Park is perfect for family camping, especially in Fall, Winter, and Spring. It is located just 40 minutes from Minneapolis-St. Paul and is a great beginner campground for backpackers. The campground is only a 1-mile hike in, and the last 1/4 mile or so is up a steep hill. There are a number of sites with picnic tables, fire rings, and designated spaces for tents. Additionally, there are two vault outhouses, a solar well water source, and a wood pile available. There are many trails for all levels of hikers, ranging from sunny meadows filled with wildflowers to areas of dense shade with majestic pines. Wildlife is abundant, with deer, black bear, squirrels, rabbits, and wild turkeys often seen. There is also a beach nearby for swimming, sunbathing, and boating. The campground is equipped with a screened-in porch, heated with electricity, and two double bunk beds. Hand hacksaws are provided for cutting firewood.
