The Only Place Where You Can Have A Tropical Vacation Without Ever Leaving Minnesota

Who says you have to travel thousands of miles to have a tropical vacation? Here in Minnesota, we have the next best thing. Located just over an hour from the Twin Cities, on picturesque Lake Sakatah near Waterville lies a great family destination that will have you believing you’re in a tropical paradise. Bring your sun hat, flip flops and sunglasses while you relax by the pool. But there’s more than just water games here!

Kamp Dels is located at 14842 Sakatah Lake Rd., Waterville, MN 56096.

The park offers over 38,000 square feet of an outdoor pool complex. That’s just shy of an acre of water fun!

While relaxing poolside, make sure you sit under the shade of the many tropical palm trees.

Kamp Dels is home to two 32 foot tall waterslides.

If you’re visiting with kids, Khaos Kove is perfect for a day of splashing! With kiddie pools and slides galore, your little one will feel just like a big kid.

Make sure you get in a few games of beach volleyball while soaking up some rays. Volleyball nets are located in multiple locations, so it's easy to jump in on a game.

Have little ones that aren’t into swimming? They'll love playing on any of the three huge playgrounds.

After a day in the water, what’s better than snuggling baby animals? Visit the petting zoo-over 45,000 square feet of all different birds and animals.

When you're ready to tear yourself away from the slides, grab your crew and rent a paddle boat for a cruise around Lake Sakatah. What's more tropical than watching the sun set over the water?

But don’t rush off! Kamp Dels has camping spots for RVs and even camp cabins available for rent. Be sure to check out their website or for information about booking your stay.
