This land was homesteaded by my great grandparents in 1900 as part of the Homestead Act of 1862. After losing my store to fire in 2013, I took the leap, and decided to open the farm to the public. I have a menagerie of animals, many rescued or adopted, that love all the attention. My friends' kids love camping in the pasture with the animals and when I saw an ad for Hipcamp, I thought maybe others would want the experience, too!Learn more about this land:Yoga with goats meets camping with alpacas! We offer camping in the small animal pasture of our family petting farm.  (We also offer campsites away from the critters if your not too sure about sharing your space with livestock!). The options are limitless!

The best campsites in Voyageurs National Park, MN guide

Overview

About

With forested hills and crystal waters as far as the eye can see, Voyageurs National Park offers 218,000 acres to explore on land and water. Straddling the border between northern Minnesota and Canada, this remote park is a place to immerse yourself in the natural world, with few reminders of civilization. Campers will find both frontcountry campsites, with minimal development, and backcountry camping, which requires a hike to reach. RVing and car camping are not possible since a boat is required to reach these campsite locations.

Notable campgrounds

  • Best for a classic tent-camping trip: The frontcountry campsites at Voyageurs National Park are easier to reach, while still providing a natural retreat.
  • Best for adventure: The remote backcountry campsites at Voyageurs National Park are far removed from civilization.
  • Best for amenities: For car campers and RVers, private RV parks offer camping, mainly along the shores of Kabetogama Lake and the Ash River.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  • Campers should first decide whether they want to camp in the frontcountry or backcountry.
  • Frontcountry campsites are for tent camping only and may include a picnic table, tent pad, and fire ring.
  • Backcountry campsites require backpacking for miles to reach them. Plan accordingly.
  • Campsite reservations are released in a block on the first day of each month for several months in advance on the Recreation.gov website.
  • Recreation.gov will help you plan your camping trip by listing details about how to reach each campsite and what amenities are available.
  • Some backcountry campsites also have canoe rentals that can be booked to explore the interior lakes.

When to go

Though Voyageurs National Park is open year-round, the waterways may be frozen much of the year due to its northern location. June through September generally offer warmer temperatures and rippling waters. Highs generally reach the 60s and 70s, dropping to lows in the 40s and 50s overnight. Winter brings conditions that require extra preparation. Snow and freezing temperatures, dropping below zero, may be regularly encountered October through February. Winter campers can reach campsites on foot or snowmobile when the ice and snowpack are thick enough. Winter offers the best chance to see the northern lights.

Know before you go

  • Campers must properly store food to avoid attracting bears.
  • A number of outfitters offer houseboat rentals for a unique way to explore this park.
  • Campers are allowed to park their vehicles for free overnight at the visitor centers.
  • The visitor centers offer boat launches; if traveling without your own watercraft, water taxis are also available.
