RE: the Leech Lake rec area CG.....We liked the CG layout just fine. For a mid-week visit, it was OK. Pretty sure we would not enjoy it on a crowded weekend. The water stinks like sulfer or worse so it's hard to enjoy a shower in their facilities. The cold water smells OK but once it's heated up, it stinks. That includes water in your RV's water heater. We stayed in in one of the few with full hookups and the sewer smells worse than any sewer hook up I've experienced. We have a compost toilet so we only drained grey water. We soon learned we had to pull the hose out of the drain and close it or be overwhelmed with stink. Also, if you are a fan of driving North to enjoy the starry night sky, this CG is over-lit with yellow street lights. If they were 50% less bright, they would still be too bright! On the plus side, it is a mostly roomy place at a reasonable cost.

Having a code for the bathroom was annoying. Additionally, our campsite was full hookup but the sewer drain was awkwardly far from the water and electricity. We really couldnt use it without having our rv right at the front of the site. Otherwise great experience. We had lots of fun!
