We camped at the Woodenfrog Campground in Kabetogama State Forest in northern Minnesota. The girls loved all the deer at the campground(the boys stayed with their grandparents).
This was dry camping and I have to admit the vault toilets were chilly, especially at night but it was not bad at all! With his girls. Voyageurs National Park does not have any land access campgrounds so we stayed at the nearby Kabetogama State Forest. Nick and I have canoed out to the National Park to camp before though! The campsites at the Woodenfrog campground were beautiful! And there is a trail right at the campground that was beautiful as well.
You could just walk this beautiful campground road.
So pretty.
We borrowed Nick’s parents camper.
We kept nice and warm inside the camper even without hookups 😉
Used power from batteries(recharged with generator during the day) to run fan for furnace and the gas furnace.
Kept it a little chilly to make sure we did not run out but it worked great. This was the campground trail. Amazing. You can access some of the Voyageur trails by driving.
The Echo Bay Trail was near the campground and was beautiful.
Trying to not share all the pics but it is so hard to choose! It was magic. Something magical happened while we were up there also…
It snowed! We found this road on the side of the road by International Falls. We stopped though and big beautiful flakes started to come down! The twins were not sure about the cold but Little Bit was as happy about the snow as I was! We walked on the Kab-Ash Trail for a little bit but it was really wet and it kept switching to sleet instead of snow so we did not hike long. The next morning we woke up to…
me squealing.
Because of this!!!!
There was a bit of a concern about being able to get out but we made it!
We stopped at the Echo Bay Trail on the way out and I took some snow pics before we headed back to his parents. Thanks for showing off northern Minnesota!
