2 Comments on “Itasca State Park”

  1. Tent campers beware! Spruce and oak loops are more like RV parks. No where good to set up a tent. We ended up moving to poplar with no electric, but worth it for more privacy!

  2. I completely agree with the other review – we were originally booked into Spruce loop, and as tent campers it was our worst nightmare – tons of RVs, parties, smokers, people riding bikes through others’ campsites… we switched to Poplar loop and got a nice, wooded site that was much quieter. Sidenote: the bathrooms are very clean!
