800 Sibley Park Road Northeast, New London, MN 56273
Group organizers looking for a solid summer base camp: Lake Andrew's sandy beach handles the swimming crowd, Mount Tom is an easy sell to first-timers, and reviewers call this one of the best modern group setups in the state. Book well ahead of July 4 and Labor Day.
No hookups, no potable water, no toilets on-site, the amenities list is bare. If your group needs more than what the park's shared facilities provide, confirm exactly what's included before reserving. Also, no pets allowed, full stop.

Summer delivers the warmest and busiest conditions. Lake Andrew warms to the mid-60s to mid-70s°F, daytime highs run mid-70s to mid-80s°F, and trails are fully clear. Holiday weekends (July 4, Labor Day) bring crowds, so book the group camp early. Late spring and fall offer comfortable temperatures, fewer bugs, and smaller crowds, with October especially praised for color and hiking. Winter is quiet and cabins stay heated, but water activities shut down. Mosquitoes and wood ticks are seasonally abundant in warm months.
Scenic overlooks and mixed forest/prairie suggest strong fall color and hiking conditions.
