Where to Go Winter Camping in Minnesota?

In order to get the full experience of winter camping in Minnesota, we recommend you to visit the following park:

• Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness – When camping in the winter, preparation is key. There’s perhaps no greater challenge than winter camping in the vast Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. Campers here use special tents that can handle wood-burning stoves and that reduce the build-up of condensation inside the tent.

Where to Tent Camp in the Winter in the Twin Cities?

If you want to winter camp with a tent, your options are Afton State Park or William O’Brien State Park. These parks are both adjacent to the St. Croix River, on either end of Washington County. Beauty and solitude will be yours if this is the option you choose. While you need to reserve a site, you’ll likely have your pick.

All of Afton’s backpack sites are open year-round, 28 of them. You’ll park, then pack in your gear up to a mile – much of it uphill! Yaktrax, Stabilicers or snowshoes with crampons may be helpful, depending on the conditions.

There are also a few tent sites for winter camping in the Group Camping area at Afton. Beauty and solitude will be yours if this is the option you choose. While you need to reserve a site, you’ll likely have your pick.
