Best Campgrounds near Cannon Falls, MN
Southeastern Minnesota's Cannon Falls has camping spots ranging from state parks to more rustic sites. Whitewater State Park draws people who like to hike through forests and follow trails alongside the Whitewater River. Campers looking for water activities head to Afton State Park on the St. Croix River, where fishing and boating spots are a short walk from campsites. Both parks fill up quickly in summer, so booking ahead is smart. Many campers come in fall when the trees turn orange and red. Winter camping works for people with proper cold-weather gear and preparation. The roads to these parks are typically in good shape, though spring can bring mud and occasional closures. Before driving out, check current conditions on the park websites. You'll find basic restrooms and picnic tables at both parks, but you'll need to bring most supplies with you. Cannon Falls makes a good base for exploring this quiet corner of Minnesota.
