Hello everyone! Looking for everyone’s favorite places to tent camp within a couple hours of the Twin Cities. I’ve been camping up in the Superior National Forest/on the Gunflint Trail since I was a kid and continue to do an annual trip up there but the long drive is quite a commitment for shorter/weekend trips as I’ve gotten older and more busy. My sister and I have been looking for somewhere that’s a more reasonable distance from home (south Minneapolis) to get out and about more often in summer/fall. We both would LOVE somewhere with good swimming - I also enjoy fishing and low key hiking but for the most part we just like hanging out at camp, somewhere quiet with good views. I’d love to try something in southern MN around the Driftless region but we’re really open to driving anywhere as long as it’s within a couple hours!
