Myre-Big Island State Park, Albert Lea

We really enjoyed our stay in the one camper cabin at this site, there were flush toilets very close by with running water sinks and showers too. The camp sites were closer to each other than other parks in MN so that was the only draw back for us since we like to feel more secluded. The were beautiful trails to walk and the land is all around since it is an island. Beautiful wildflowers and wildlife to watch.

Very pretty surroundings, but lots of mosquitoes. Like, a ridiculous amount of mosquitoes. We couldn't leave the windows of our RV open because they came in through the screens. There is no electricity, so we were sweating all night with no AC and closed windows. We're not from Minnesota so maybe this is normal. Oh well. The nice ranger at the office sold us bundles of hard wood for 5 dollars each. The lake is scenic but not really a place for swimming; there isn't a beach either. I'm not sure if it was allowed, but we let our dogs swim in the lake and they had a great time. There are a few trails for hiking and biking.
