Savanna State Forest - MN - June 2019

It’s great to see Afton, and her little backpack! Mosquitoes sure are bad right now. It makes camping challenging. Have you heard of or tried Hipcamp yet? We just tried it for the first time last weekend and had a great time. We had 20 acres of property to ourselves. The state parks are so booked right now so it was a welcome change.

I have heard of Hipcamp, I have never tried it though. For the summer months I may need to try it because it is packed every where. Did the site have water nearby? I am curious to try it.

[@clep9113]

Yes, it did. Each property has different features. There aren’t tons of places yet in Minnesota, but I’m hoping that more people will use it so it will continue to grow.

​@@clep9113 I am going to have to look into more. I'd love to support good alternatives to State Parks.

The older growth is cool! Bugs have been bad on my last couple of MN camping adventures too although I am on the South side of the Twin Cities! 🦟 Great video! 😎

Thank you, Bugs were particularly bad in this area for some reason.

That’s a nice area for XC skiing. The mosquitoes in that part of Atkin county are spectacular.

That makes sense, the trails were really wide. I may have to go back this winter without the bugs.
