Camping in Trailhead Park

Walk-in tent camping is available at the Trailhead Park! We have ten tent campsites, each with their own shade tree, fire ring and picnic table ( no tables on site 5 & 6) .

Our Campground is located two blocks from down town businesses. These are secluded quite sites where no vehicles or camper traffic is allowed. Campsites are mowed weekly and on the flattest ground you will find in Houston County.

The pavilion (appr. 32′ x 24′) can be reserved/rented or used on a first-come-first-served basis ( unless rented ). The pavilion is a place to sit, rest, eat, and charge you phone in the outlets.

There is a porta-potty located near the Campground. The Nature Center facility has full bathrooms with showers open 24-7.

Sites have seasonal prices which can be found at the Nature Center, on Facebook or by calling call 507-896-4668 or emailing nature@houstonmn.us for more information or reservations, walk- ins also welcome!

You can pay inside the Nature Center facility ( see posted hours ) or in the slot between the restroom mirrors after hours! There are envelopes provided in the bathrooms above the paper towel dispenser.
