What Are Some Of The Best Campgrounds In Minnesota?
The Land of 10,000 Lakes is home to an incredible state park system, several national park units, state and national forests, as well as many private places to camp, so deciding which are the best campgrounds in Minnesota is nearly impossible. Do you prefer to be near water? Close to town? Away from everything? Do you like a lot of amenities or as rustic a place as possible? These are all considerations when thinking about what Minnesota campgrounds would be best for you.
If you're looking for a lot of amenities, like swimming pools or game rooms, or a spot closer to a town or city, private campgrounds - like Kiesler's Campground and RV Park or Kamp Dels - will be your best bets. At state parks, like Upper Sioux Agency State Park or William O'Brien State Park, you'll find fewer amenities, but you'll be far from roughing it. These types of developed campgrounds come with showers, bathrooms, campground hosts, and often other creature comforts like camp stores and playground equipment.
If you want to get even more rustic, check out most of the state forest or national forest camping options. In most cases, a pit toilet is the fanciest amenity you can expect. Dispersed camping - i.e., finding a spot within the forest's regulations and pitching your tent - means you only have what you bring, and it's the most off-the-grid style of camping in Minnesota.
So, determining the best campground in Minnesota is really about deciding what you want in a campground, and then finding it for yourself. Then you'll be a happy camper!
