Perfect Camping for You in Minnesota!
The Land of 10,000 Lakes provides a spectacular backdrop for some of the most scenic campgrounds in the country. But do you know which campgrounds offer the most privacy? Which are the best for first-time campers? Outdoors writer and Minnesota resident Tom Watson traversed the entire state—from Zippel Bay State Park’s birch-jack pine forest, overlooking the incomparable Lake of the Woods, to the Blue Mound prairies of the southwest—and compiled the most up-to-date research to steer you to the perfect spot!
Best Tent Camping: Minnesota presents 50 private, state park, and state and national forest campgrounds, organized into three distinct regions. Selections are based on location, topography, size, overall appeal, and reliable management, and every site is rated for beauty, privacy, spaciousness, safety and security, and cleanliness—so you’ll always know what to expect. The new full-color edition of this proven guidebook provides everything you need to know, with detailed maps of each campground and key information such as fees, restrictions, dates of operation, and facilities, as well as driving directions and GPS coordinates.
Whether you seek a quiet campground near a fish-filled stream or a family campground with all the amenities, grab Best Tent Camping: Minnesota. It’s an escape for all who wish to find those special locales that recharge the mind, body, and spirit. This guide is a keeper.
Tom Watson has enjoyed 30 years of camping in Minnesota, first as an Eagle Scout with Troop 22 in Minneapolis; later as a college student studying forest resource management at the University of Minnesota; and then throughout his life in various professions, including as a freelance writer specializing in outdoor subjects. Tom is an avid sea kayaker, naturalist, and photographer. He is also the author of 60 Hikes Within 60 Miles: Minneapolis and St. Paul and Best Minnesota Camper Cabins.
