County-managed Morris Erickson County Park sits on a clear lake near New Auburn, offering electric hookups and basic amenities from March through October. The small campground features closely spaced sites with mowed grass but limited privacy between camping areas. Road noise occurs during morning and evening hours, though nights remain quiet according to recent visitors.
The lake provides swimming and fishing opportunities, with loons calling at dawn and dusk. Clean restrooms and a playground serve families, while the location works well for Ice Age Trail hikers needing overnight stops. Sites cost $20-32 per night, with reservations available through the county system. For additional camping options in the region, see camping areas around New Auburn.
