  • Camping in Minnesota

    Thursday, December 8th, 2011

    The amount of people who enjoy camping is growing annually. There has been a big increase in families in recent years headed to the campground. This could likely be due to a sluggish economy that they have included camping in their vacation agenda. Some people like trying new places to go camping every year but others have a spot that they are partial to for their camping vacation. One of the most popular spots for camping is Minnesota. The possibilities are endless when considering Minnesota camping.

    Minnesota has a lot to offer campers as there are many lakes and various terrains throughout the state. The best place for camping is the northern end of the state especially near Lake Superior. The drive along Lake Superior is one of the most breathtaking in the United States, especially in the fall. Here you will find state parks which are full of hiking trails and kayaking. If you are a fisher then thousands of beautiful lakes will sound like heaven to you.

    The lakes sprawl across Minnesota and there are also some recreational areas. Camping in Minnesota is always a joy because there are so many huge state parks and also an abundance of private campgrounds. You will also find a few federal campgrounds if that is to your liking. Even though many of these recreational destinations are in the northern part of the state, the southern end has a lot to offer too. You will be amazed at the number of trout streams and the awesome river bluffs. In the southern end of Minnesota there are a couple state parks that allow rock climbing and how does diving from a cliff into the St Croix River sound? There are beautiful hiking trails and in the towns you will likely find many things going on too, including several festivals.

    There are also a few exclusive canoe areas where no vehicles are allowed nor are boats. There is camping in these areas too so you can not only camp but also enjoy some canoe rides too! Places such as these are really made for the camper and display various maps so that you can easily find outhouses, eating areas, and campfire pits. No supplies are offered so you have to bring your own. Many novice campers shy away from such rustic areas but they are so amazingly beautiful.

    Minnesota’s metropolitan area offers many campgrounds to choose from too. As a matter of fact, the word Minneapolis refers to a city of lakes so just imagine how many you will have to choose from. If you like fun filled days that may include some trips to the city and then being able to return to your camping life at night and enjoy the activities that outdoor camping is all about then Minnesota is the place for you to be. You will certainly have no regrets at all and more than likely, you will soon be calling your camping vacation spot in Minnesota, home. It is surely spectacular with plenty to keep you busy.
