Best Time to Camp at Group Campground

Open all year, Frontenac rewards visitors in every season, though the experience shifts with the calendar. Spring and fall draw birders from across the region as warblers and raptors funnel through the Mississippi flyway, while autumn paints the bluffs in fire-bright color. Summer brings the park to life with full services and busy trails, perfect for groups seeking warm-weather adventure. Winter explorers will find solitude and beauty, though the group site remains rustic year-round—prepare accordingly and you'll have the bluffs nearly to yourselves.

Planning Tips

    About Group Campground

    Tucked away from the main campground loop, this dedicated group site offers organized parties their own slice of wooded bluff country. Here, your group can gather in a more primitive setting while staying just steps from stunning trails that wind along Lake Pepin and the Mississippi River—a birdwatcher's paradise and a hiker's dream rolled into one.
    A single reservable group camp (separate from the main drive-in loop) designed for organized groups; described as a primitive, tent-style site with room for roughly 30–35 people.
