Horse campground campsites added to state park reservation system.
Trail riders who want to guarantee a camping spot for themselves
and their horses will now be able to ensure their overnight stay
at three Minnesota State Parks: Forestville/Mystery Cave in
Preston, Lake Louise in Le Roy, and Upper Sioux Agency in Granite
Falls.
In the past, campsites in the horse campground at Forestville/Mystery
Cave State Park were able to be reserved through the state
park reservation system. This year, sites at Lake Louise
State Park and electric sites at Upper Sioux Agency State Park
may also be reserved.
The reservation policy for reserving campsites
in the horse campground will be the same as reservations made
for the regular campground, said Guy Lunz, manager of Lake Louise
State Park.
"Up to 70 percent of the sites in the horse campground
at Lake Louise or Forestville can be reserved and the
rest will be available on a first-come, first-served basis" Lunz said.
A non-refundable reservation fee of $8.50 will be charged
for each reservation. This fee and the first night's
camping fee of $12 must be paid when making a reservation.
At Upper Sioux Agency State Park's horse campground, 70
percent of the electric sites can be reserved. The balance of the
electric sites and all of the non-electric sites in the horse campground
at Upper Sioux are available on a first-come, first-served
basis.
To reserve campsites in these horse campgrounds, call
the Minnesota State Park Reservation System at 1-866-85PARKS
or reserve online at www.stayatmnparks.com.
Campsites in the horse campgrounds at other state
parks are available on a first-come, first-served
basis. |
