Campgrounds in Minnesota 

You will find campgrounds in Minnesota State Parks, in National Forest campgrounds, in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area, in Voyageurs National Park and in hundreds of private Minnesota campgrounds across the state.

All the words in the world cannot describe the variety of experiences you can enjoy in our Minnesota campgrounds. 

The best time of day for us is the quiet time just at dusk when, away from the lights of the city, the stars come out. I sometimes forget how many there really are!

We often sit on the beach and count shooting stars late into the evening. Better than TV for sure!

Family vacations for us have often been camping trips. We've loved exploring the joy and beauty of Minnesota camping

If you are looking for a wilderness camping experience, you will find it in the Boundary Waters, Voyageurs National Park, other National Forest campgrounds and in campgrounds along the Gunflint Trail.

Prepare for Campgrounds in Minnesota

We look forward to the cozy time of crawling into our sleeping bags, chatting a bit about the day--and tomorrow's adventures. For me, there is always a short time of reading by flashlight, then drowsiness takes over.....

The sound of a light rain may awaken me briefly in the night and I luxuriate in being that close to the out-of-doors yet protected in my tent.

Morning comes and I smell the coffee that my husband already has perking over the campfire. Ahhhh.....Minnesota camping at it's best!
