Nice campground, electric only and tent sites. Bathrooms with showers are on-site. No water or sewer at campsites. Nice beach and swim area. Close to boat launch and many biking trails in the area with direct access from the campground.

Catch the bike trails right from Portsmouth campground. Drive-through spaces with electric have easy access but are limited in the number of spaces available.

Convenient to trails and an easy 2 minute walk to a sandy beach on Portsmouth Lake. The campground is okay, the outer edge campsites were shaded. We were at campsite 22 in the center of the campground and had little to no shade. Felt a bit like sitting at a table in the middle of a restaurant, so if you don’t mind that, the 20’s campsites would be fine, or if you were camping with friends and booked several of the campsites in the 20’s together, it could be okay. The shower/bath house was just okay and could use some TLC. No campground office or dump station. We detoured home to stop by Father Hennepin State Park to use the RV dump station there. I’m sure there must be one closer to Cuyuna but I wanted to check out the Father Hennepin park so didn’t mind going there. We loved the lake and were happy we brought our paddle boards. Amazingly clear and cool water. The mountain biking trails were well maintained and not too difficult but a fun ride. TONS of trails so you could spend days riding. Ironton & Crosby are an easy bike ride from the campground. Make sure to download the campground map before heading out. Would stay here again but only if we could snag a campsite on the perimeter of the campground.

This is an awesome location for visiting the Cuyuna Trails but everything about it is tired looking. This park should be updated and reconfigured. This area is incredibly popular and there is a shortage of camping areas. Despite the tiredness the location is hard to beat. There are mountain bike and pave trails right next to the campground.

Not a campground you relax at your site at, kinda stinky bathrooms were Janney but the access to beach lakes and trails were all perfect would come here again though for its convenience so the charming town and activities.
