Best Time to Camp at Lake Ozawindib Group Center Campground

Plan your group adventure between early May and early October when the facility is open and Minnesota's lake country is at its finest. Summer brings warm days ideal for swimming and outdoor activities with all amenities in full operation, while late spring and early fall offer cooler temperatures, brilliant foliage, and a more peaceful atmosphere with fewer visitors throughout the park.
