Campground and Park in Southeast Minnesota

Hok-Si-La Park is a 252-acre, municipally owned and operated park in Southeast Minnesota, offering breathtaking views of Lake Pepin—a part of the Mississippi River—and the surrounding bluffs. At this park, you can experience tent camping at its best, listen to barred owls while relaxing inside a cozy cabin, launch a boat at the public boat ramp or relax on the sandy beach.
Moreover, you can stroll along the mile-long Mississippi River shoreline, hike the woodland trails, explore the interpretive center, do bird watching, take the kids to the playground, play basketball or volleyball, have a picnic, or unwind at the chapel. Hok-Si-La is indeed a great place to reconnect with nature and spend time with the people you cherish.

Facilities

Our park’s facilities include a dining hall, screened shelters, tent campsites, and sleeping cabins. The facilities and campground seasons are from mid-April to mid-October, while the park is available all year round for general use. Cross-country ski trails are prepared for use during the winter (see grooming updates on Facebook).
Hok-Si-La offers the space and amenities ideal for schools, 4-H clubs, family reunions, birthday celebrations, weddings, business picnics, service organizations, church groups, and outdoor organizations. The park also has a mosquito control program.
Our office space serves as a store, check-in desk, and tourist information hub. Display cases featuring local flora and fauna and interesting memorabilia from the Boys Scouts era can be viewed in the interpretive center. The Boy Scouts gave the park its name and decided on a Dakota Sioux word that means “boy.” Some time ago, the park had a fox farm with 400 pairs of foxes.

Our park or campground is situated 65 miles south of the Twin Cities on U.S. Highway 61, 35 miles northeast of Rochester on Highway 63, and 2 miles north of Lake City on Highway 61/63.
