Dog-friendly camping in Minnesota guide

Overview

Minnesota's gleaming lakes and sweeping woodlands make the North Star State a firm favorite for campers, and many of the state’s outdoor adventurers are pet-friendly. Whether enjoying fall foliage walks through Afton State Park, hiking to waterfalls at Tettegouche State Park, or backcountry camping in Voyageurs National Park or the Superior National Forest, there’s no reason your dog can’t come along for the ride. Pets are permitted at all Minnesota state park campgrounds (cabins, yurts, and beaches are off-limits), so you could also admire the views in Blue Mounds State Park, swim and paddle at Bear Head Lake State Park, or camp by the riverside at Itasca State Park. Just don’t forget the leash―pets must be on a six-foot leash at all times. Spring and fall provide the most dog-friendly weather, but if your pooch needs to cool off, there are dog beaches at White Bear Lake and Minnesota Point.
