Camping
Anyone else here enjoy to camp?  We got a seasonal site at camperville just north of mora.  Our idea of camping is a 33' travel trailer with electricity, water, bathroom, etc. ;D  Looking foward to getting to know knife lake and mille lacs a little better this year.  We enjoy getting away during weekends and just spending time outdoors.
At night we just sit next to the fire and bs.  Me and my brothers will get up early and ride our bikes around looking for deer.  Nice to be away from it all.  So anyone else enjoy to camp?

Re: Camping
We camp about 3 or 4 times a summer, maybe more. We're just tent campers, but I really enjoy being in the outdoors with my family. We usually just head up to Wilder, but we also go to St Croix and Father Hennepin.

Re: Camping
we camp quite a bit.  We go up the north shore for a week once a summer, usually Judge CR Mag park.  I love that one.
We have a big popup starcraft camper.  Has a king size pullout on one end, a queen size pullout bed on the other, and two twin size beds in the middle.

Re: Camping
I am a huge tent camper.  Used to camp 10 times a summer before we had kids.  Now it's cut to about 4 times, and then several times in the back yard.

Re: Camping
I bought a new 5th wheel camper Its where I live in the summer weekends.

I bought it for shooting, about every weekend I'm in a differant town and a differant gun club.

I have a receiver on it and pull my golf car on the back of the camper for my shoots.

now last summer I bought a used boat that can also be pulled in back of the camper.

Re: Camping
With the new baby last summer we didn't get to camp at all but this summer I plan to do a lot. I love camping.

I have a lot of favorite places to camp but I really like going to Jay Cooke and I also like Interstate Park in St. Croix Falls.

There is a lot of good hiking along the river at Jay Cooke and I like Interstate just because it's close and I can get outta town quick on short notice.

Re: Camping
I was looking at tents with my 4 year old the other day and I think he would really like going.  Does anyone have suggestions on a good place just outside of the metro area?  I'm sure the wife and baby won't be going with us so I don't want to go very far.

Re: Camping
Taylors Falls area is great. Lots for the kids to do in the area and its close to home. Wildwood Campground is a good place or you could go to the state campgrounds, Interstate. One attraction to the area when I was young was Fawn-Doe-Rosa. Its a deer park on Hwy 8 just into wisconsin, there we also go carts over there. We used to have a blast. You can also go to the water park at Wild Mountain and they have the Alpine slide.

Another place we used to go to when we were young was Independence Park. It was a blast when we were kids. Haven't been there since I was like 11 though so by now it could be a Mall for all I know.

We go every weekend. We have a park model up at Pelican lake by Glenwood. Takes about a minute to cross with the Lund 18ft with the F150 Yamaha. Nice neighbors and good camp fires, what more could you want?

Re: Camping
 hi, new to the site. i did see some familar names from lsf, cw and the doc. hedrocks: another one you could try is "country camping" their located in isanti. they are the only camp groud that offers tubing on the rum river. they also have a pool, game room, showers and free cooler tubes. usually try to get there three or four times a year. it's reasonable and a good time. oh and close to the metro. now what i'm looking for is some place (fairly close to the metro) that has atv trails. i know about st croix and danbery,ws. sorry my spelling sucks. but i heard from a friend that there are a few to many speed demands in that area. scott.

Re: Camping
outdoorsman388, County Camping is pretty sweet.  We do a few canoe trips from Isanti to St. Francis and they always let us stop there and make lunch.

Re: Camping
Welcome to the site outdoorsman388.

What about a camping get together? A nice warm fire, a couple cold brews, and alot of BS...sounds like it could be fun.

Re: Camping
Where can I find out info on the County Camping site?  It sounds like a fun place.  I am always looking for new places to go and take the camper for a weekend.

Re: Camping
I don't think you will find them anywhere but the phone book.  Your brother should know where they are.  I think he used their bathroom on one of our canoe trips last summer.  It probably about 6 miles north east of his house.

Re: Camping
 the web site is   www.country-camping.com. i'm a tent camper, but my friends went and bought travel trailers. i guess they'll be over in the electric sites now. i'll be all by myself. oh woe is me. accually that's not totally true. their suppose to hook up electric out in the meadow. that would be great, you know, for coffee makers. hey joe i like bs and beer, not necesarily in that order. so that sounds good to me. keep me posted. scott.

It's about that time of year. A friend and I are talking about maybe making a weekend trip up to Gooseberry. Should be a good time.

I am new to the site and love it. I grew up in Bemidji and camped my whole life. Always tented it. Now married with 2 boys and bought an older pop up. I took them all camping up near Schroeder by Temperance River and they are all hooked now. I also got them all hooked on hunting and a little into fishing and canoing.
