Planning Tips

    About Group Campground

    Perched atop rolling glacial hills with sweeping views of Signalness Lake, Glacial Lakes State Park is a prairie gem where oak forests meet native grasslands. Your group will find plenty of room to gather in the spacious campground, with easy access to swimming, fishing, boating, and miles of trails that connect to remote campsites perfect for horseback riders and backpacking adventurers.
    The park page states a 'shady, spacious campground' is available and that horseback riders and backpack campers can camp at the trail center and at remote sites. The park page does not explicitly list campsite types (tent, RV, primitive, group, or cabins) for this specific campground.
