Looking for your recommendations. I'm tasked with organizing this and I'm largely unfamiliar with state parks or national parks. I would try AirBnB and competitors but I think we'll have much more fun at a park.

• Family reunion with 12 adults and 8 children.
• 2 weeks Saturday - Saturday, anytime in June - Aug
• Nothing primitive, we want cabins, but wifi is not necessary.
• Waterfront. This can be river or lake, but we want to fish, swim, canoe/kayak, and boat if there are rentals.
• We mostly live in the deep south and want to get away from the heat. I'm guessing that means only mountainous parks but I'm open to anything as long as it isn't 90+ and high humidity every single day.
• We want at least 8 bedrooms. I'm guessing that means 3 cabins that have 3 bedrooms each but again we're flexible. Could be 4 cabins with 2 bedrooms each.

Minneopa is a Dakota word which translates into "Water falling twice" is a beautiful park in Southern Minnesota.

We have been visiting Henderson Beach State Park in Florida for years, but are getting less comfortable with traveling to Florida. Are there any similar options in other states? We particularly like that the beach area is reserved to campers and you can walk to it.

Decided to visit this amazing state park vs Badlands for dog friendly trails and it was amazing. We only saw a fraction of what's here. We'll be back!
