Another "family favorite" Minnesota campground is Zippel Bay. On the shores of Lake of the Woods, this farthest north state campground on the Canadian border offers a secluded setting and is never crowded.
Wildlife abounds in the one-million acre wilderness surrounding Zippel Bay. You are likely to see white pelicans, bald eagles, loons, osprey, deer, mink, a variety of ducks, black bear and, occasionally, the elusive grey wolf! Bird-watching is spectacular in this area in the spring and summer months.
Zippel Bay State Park has a sugar sand swimming beach and a nice picnic area for day trips.
Our favorite campgound in the southern part of Minnesota is at Frontenac state park. This a birdwatcher's paradise overlooks the Mississippi River. A picnic area along the edge of the bluffs offers beautiful, panoramic vistas of Lake Pepin and the Mississippi River Valley.
More than 260 species of birds have been recorded here including: warblers, hawks, waterfowl and shorebirds. Bald eagles are commonly seen in the fall, winter and spring. A few eagles even nest in the area.
Frontenac has numerous other wildlife including deer, raccoon, opossum, red fox, coyote, woodchuck, various ground squirrels, beaver and wild turkey.
One landmark in the park, In-Yan-Teopa, a giant rock on the edge of the bluff, is believed to have religious importance to American Indians.
Going RVing and Camping is fun and visiting Everything About RVing makes it more fun. We give you good information about RVs and Camping with some humor thrown in (at least we think it’s funny). So come on in and sit a spell.
