Sibley State Park

We visited Sibley State Park and were truly impressed by how beautiful and well cared for it is. The trails are clearly marked and well maintained, making hiking a pleasure from start to finish. We especially enjoyed the hike up Mount Tom—the view from the top is absolutely worth it, with rolling hills, lakes, and forests stretching as far as you can see. The campgrounds were clean, peaceful, and thoughtfully laid out, offering both comfort and a real connection to nature. We liked how easy it was to access the trails and lakes right from our campsite, and the quiet evenings made for a relaxing stay. Overall, Sibley State Park quickly became one of our favorite Minnesota parks—we’d gladly visit again for the great hiking, scenic views, and well-kept campgrounds.

Easy to follow & labeled hiking trail, fun small nature center with interactive exhibits for kids and a fully functioning bathroom! Pretty view of a small pond off the back of the center. There are benches throughout the park along the trails as well as pedestal informational signs, which were a nice touch. Mt Tom was lovely but little Tom is also worth a peek.

This park is expansive and has something for everyone. Hiking, horseback riding, fishing, camping and swimming. BEAUTIFUL!!!

Beware...web site photos need to be updated ASAP. I was so disappointed when I got here. The sites "lake view" is now mostly blocked by the hosts site. Not sure what it was like before modifications but most big trees have been cut down and alot of small trees planted in their place. 10 years from now it will be shaded again. Perimeter sites are nice and have some trees/privacy but most campsites are on top of each other, squeezed in to the center. Great place for group camping. Have to say the bathrooms/showers are very nice.

Winter is the best time to come and not have bugs attacking. In the summer the beach is great and lots of fishing opportunities.
