Split Rock Creek State Park — Hotel in Pipestone

When we first arrived we were greeted by a friendly park ranger, Mavis. She kindly helped us pick out our spot that would accommodate us best and sent us off to set up. Later, I was walking down the trail to find the lake as my boyfriend was asleep in the tent. I was confronted by an older man in a secluded area asking me about our firewood. I later found out it was the campsite host, but was taken aback that he watched and followed me down the trail while I was alone instead of confronting my boyfriend or I in our campsite. After going back to my campsite and waking up my boyfriend, we noticed the older man, the host, staring at us. No matter where in our campsite we would go or what we would be doing, we would catch him staring at us. We had absolutely NO privacy. We experienced this our entire stay.

The lake water was warm, but mucky. We saw kids swimming in it, but we only dipped our feet in. The beach was small and far away from the campgrounds. There was absolutely no biking trails, only a small grass trail for "hiking" that went around part of the campground and up to the beach. The campsites were rocky and had a lot of dead wood laying around them that we could NOT use. The bathrooms were very clean, but the shower timers only lasts about 20 seconds.

Overall, I gave the place 2 stars because the bathrooms were well maintained, but the campground host was creepy and unfriendly. The park itself is very small, so without feeling comfortable in our site, we were unsatisfied with...

We reserved the group site this past Memorial weekend and I have to say that ALL of the rangers were absolutely rude and disrespectful; however the hosts were friendly and kind. I will never go back to Split Rock Creek State Park again and will never recommend the park to anyone else!

The rangers at most MN state parks that we visited in the past ten plus years have been friendly, caring and quite frankly respectful. None of your ranger exhibited any of these traits. All they were concerned with were the following a.) ensuring that no one from our party used the shower. Informing us one time is sufficient, but they made an effort to remind us numerous times even though no one from our party used the showers. b.) a ranger walked past every single one of our cars with a ticket pad in hand, seemingly hoping to write someone a ticket for not having a parking permit. Everyone had a parking permit! He appeared very disappointed that he wasn't able to issue a ticket to someone/anyone from our party. c.) when asked whether there were any discounts for active military personnel the ranger at the office rudely stated "no," when in fact all MN state park offers one free day pass for active military personnel... Perhaps because we are a minority group she didn't believe anyone of us could have been an...
