The best camping near Lake Bronson State Park

Climb the tallest observation tower in all of Minnesota’s State Parks! What will you see from the top, you ask? Rolling, grassy prairie-land, dense, aspen-dwelling forest; perhaps even a deer, an American elk or one of those cute sharp-tailed grouse! If that sounds like your cup of tea, you should turn your wheel towards Lake Bronson State Park.

Along with the incredible wildlife and amazing scenery that makes up this park, Lake Bronson is a top-notch watering hole for any boating, swimming or fishing you may want to do while you’re here. Whether you are a woods kind of person or a prairie kind of person, there’s plenty of great camping to be done in both. Nab one of the select lakeside sites or try to grab a spot out on Moose Island, where you can camp as long as you are up for paddling your way there! So make that cup of tea because this is the kind of place you’ll want to stay for a long, long time.
