What campers say

Giant City State Park offers well-maintained trails and striking sandstone formations with overlooks and an observation tower. Trails vary from short, easy walks to steep, strenuous routes and include maze-like rock passages and a small cave, so hikers of different abilities can find suitable loops at their own pace. The park has multiple parking areas, restrooms, a visitor center, lodge and a restaurant. Practical tradeoffs: some campers report nighttime noise, spotty cell service, and inconsistent campground shower cleanliness. Summer hikers should also be watchful for snakes on warmer days.
