   Hudson, Wisconsin

   Willow River State Park Campground, nestled near Hudson, WI, is a gem for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the Twin Cities. This place has it all: hiking, mountain biking, and even some water features to cool off in. The campground is divided into three loops, with the 300 loop being the oldest and closest to Little Falls Lake. If you're lucky, you might snag a lakeside spot there.

   The 100 and 200 loops are newer and come with their own perks. The 100 loop boasts the best shower facilities and a small playground, making it a hit with families. However, these loops are closer to County Highway A, so you might hear a bit of road noise. Cell service is solid in these areas, which is a bonus if you need to stay connected.

   Visitors have praised the clean bathrooms and showers, although some mentioned that the facilities can get a bit crowded. The campsites themselves are well-maintained, with level pads and decent privacy thanks to the surrounding trees. Fire rings and electric hookups are available, making it easy to set up camp and relax.

   One of the highlights of Willow River State Park is the trail to Willow Falls. It's a relatively easy hike with minimal elevation gain, perfect for a family outing. The falls are stunning, and there's even a selfie station for those Instagram-worthy shots. If you're into water activities, bring your canoes, kayaks, or paddleboards. The lake might have some algae, but it's generally calm and great for a paddle.

   Pets are welcome, so feel free to bring your furry friends along. Just remember to keep them on a leash. And if you're into bird watching, you're in for a treat. The park is a haven for various bird species, adding to the overall charm of the place.

   So, pack your gear and head over to Willow River State Park Campground for a memorable outdoor experience. Whether you're there for a weekend or an extended stay, this place won't disappoint.

   Denmark, Minnesota

   Located on the St. Croix River, just 20 miles east of Saint Paul, Afton State Park is great for those looking for camping near Minneapolis and is 1600 acres of rolling prairies, oak woodlands, and limestone river canyons amid an ancient glacial landscape. The land for the park was acquired in 1967, but it took almost 15 years of planning revisions and compromises with local residents before the park finally opened in 1982. Little development has gone into Afton State Park in an effort to maintain its natural characteristics, and former farmland atop the bluffs are continuously being restored to their original state. This makes Afton an ideal destination for campers looking to experience the outdoors in a wilder setting.

   Load up your backpack with all you’ll need for your stay, as camping at Afton State Park requires a hearty, 0.75-mile hike in from the parking area. The year-round campground offers 27 rustic sites with picnic tables and fire pits, with options for pitching your tent in either open or wooded areas. There is drinking water, a vault toilet and firewood is supplied within the camp area. There is also three boat-in campsites, and two group campsites that can accommodate up to 60 people each. If you’d rather not rough it, the park also offers four camping cabins and two yurts, some of which are wheelchair accessible. There are also several picnic areas and restrooms within the park. Campsite rates range from $15–$23/night; cabins range from $55–$70/night, and yurts $50–$65/night.

   When you’re ready to explore, start at the park’s Nature Store where you can pick up information about the park’s flora and fauna, or join a nature walk. Then choose from more than 20 miles of hiking, biking, and equestrian trails, as well as a short barrier-free path. If you’re visiting in winter, many of these trails are open for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. Bring your GPS and go on a geocaching treasure hunt, or bring your binoculars and go on safari for a variety of migratory birds, waterfowl, and wildlife, including deer, foxes and badgers. And little ones will love becoming Junior Park Naturalists and learning about bugs, birds, plants and other critters. If you’re looking for a real outdoor adventure, Afton State Park has what you’re looking for.
