Lake Minnewasta

All campers at Lake Minnewasta are required to follow the campground policy for their safety and for the safe and pleasant camping experience for everyone. This policy is divided into three sections: all campers, non-seasonal campers, and seasonal campers.

All Campers

Registering/Checking in

• All campers must check in at the Campground Office when they arrive.
• Overnight guests are required to register at the Campground Office.

Campsites

• Four adults or one family are allowed as overnight guests on a campsite. A family is generally defined as parent(s), with children under the age of 18. The addition of a grandparent or similar relative is also allowed. All persons must fit into the allowable camping units.
• Each campsite is designed to accommodate one camping unit. If campers want to set up an additional tent, they must request the permission of the Campground Office. An additional fee may apply.
• Every site comes with one picnic table. Campers may request an additional table at the Campground Office and will be based on availability.

Campfires

• Campfires are allowed on all sites and must be contained within the provided campfire ring.
