Sibley State Park
June 22-25
17e
53 Lakeview and 34 Oakridge electrical sites
18 miles of hiking trails
dump station in Lakeview campground
For this trip we stayed in site 17e which is down the main road entering in Lakeview campground.
The dump station with the clean water is on the far right side of the park. Which is also along the last loop of sites, a road with one line. Our site was a little are to back into. At one point we pointed going the wrong way just so we could back into the site.
The Lakeview campground is a huge mostly open campground. You can see everything going on with your campers. Like a huge long fifth wheel backing into a tree because no one cared to get out of the truck and guide it in. Yes! we saw that.
The Veteran's Conservation Corp VCC built a number of the builds in the park which are still being used to this day. The VCC worked with the direction of the National Park Services from 1935 to 1938. These building can be found in the Lakeview campground and the Cedar Hill Picnic Area.
We hiked a couple of trails in the park. One was around the Oak Ridge Campground and Woodland Wildlife Interpretive Center. The second day we hike the Oak ridge cut over to the Mt Tom Trail, which was unkept. It got worst from the road to the trail. So instead of traveling back it, we walked on the road back to the trail. We also drive and hiked to the Mount Tom Tower to see the great views.
The Oak Ridge Campground is much quieter and spread out in between sites. Site 123e or 131e were nice sites. Lakeview is the old way campground look, open with minimal trees vs the new style of campgrounds like Oak Ridge, trees opens to each site.
