Wonder place to visit and stay. Farm house is,great.
Very nice, but the mosquitoes were awful. Campsites are nice. There is a lot of great history here.
There are a couple of interesting short hikes. We hiked from the campground to the Fort which had some interested historical info on the Dakota battle that took place here. Then we also did the lookout hike which went up to the top of the hill for some nice views.
There really isn't anything close to this park. The nearest bigger town was New Ulm which was pretty sad when we went there; a lot of the shops had closed down and it's pretty deserted. So, I would recommend for a quick weekend visit but nothing longer than that.
Park has huge campsites and is kept up beautifully. The only reason it didn't get 5 stars is because the shower was a 1 mile drive away and the dump station was a 3 mile drive away. Not so much a big deal, just an inconvenience. We would stay again though and just not use our bathroom in our camper. There are plenty of bifs around and they are kept very clean. I highly recommend this campground if you're looking for a nice peaceful weekend! No cell service!
Cool place! Great history! Helpful staff at the museum.
There is a big horse campground here are well, so beware of horse poop on the hiking trails.
We spend a weekend in our travel trailer camping at Fort Ridgley State Park. The campgrounds are in a beautiful wooded ravine that was very nice to stay at. The only downside to this beautiful location is that there is absolutely no data or cell service in the campground area (no matter your cell phone provider). We even tried putting out a signal booster and nothing worked.
When we went in May there were quite a few wood ticks; after we sprayed our pants and shoes with deet we didn't have any more issues with them.
