Gull Lake Recreation Area

Park 64mi from Upsala · 39 sites
What happens when you bring a little history, geology, and the art of the outdoors together under one sunset? You get the Gull Lake Recreation Area where the purist, the adventurist, and the 18-hole golfer all coexist for the sake of Mother Nature! The largest lake in the Gull chain of lakes, Gull Lake Recreation Area is an eclectic spot formed by an ancient glacier historically marked by ancient Native American burial mounds dating back to 800 B.C. A holy grail for wildlife viewing, bald eagles and otters can be spotted throughout the park while the call of the loon sings in the distance. Peaceful sunsets are enjoyed from the shores of the lake, from the captain's chair of the family pontoon boat, and even from the turf of the golf course. As if that wasn’t enough, Gull Lake is stocked with walleye, northern pike, bass, and a variety of panfish. Score!

I recently stayed at this campsite, and it was an outstanding experience. The spacious area provided plenty of room for relaxation and activities. The water and dock were perfect for enjoying the outdoors, and the binzebo was a wonderful spot for meals and card games. The firepit and paddle boat added to the enjoyment, making the stay even more memorable. The only downside was having to leave! I highly recommend this campsite for anyone looking for a great outdoor getaway.

Super-friendly and accommodating hosts Sarah, Danny and Char. Flat grassy spot with plenty of room for parking, reliable 20/30/50 amp hookup and water spigot. Nice stamped concrete patio in with fire pit. Free municipal dump station 1 mile away, also conveniently located about 8 miles from beautiful Sibley State Park and Lake Andrew. Grandson really enjoyed working farm, seeing the horses, cattle and calves close up every day as well as visits from farm dog Gus and Boots the barn cat. We cooked for ourselves all weekend but Saucedo's Mexican Restaurant and Belgrade Bakery in town were both very good. Thanks again for your hospitality!
