Tips & Recommendations

1Reserve group sites well in advance through the Minnesota DNR reservation system, particularly for summer weekends and holiday periods when popular campgrounds like Fall Lake and Temperance River fill months ahead.
2Bring layered clothing regardless of season—Minnesota weather changes rapidly, and evenings cool significantly even in summer.
3Pack comprehensive bug protection including DEET, permethrin-treated clothing, and head nets for late May through July when mosquitoes and black flies peak in northern regions.
4For Boundary Waters-adjacent campgrounds like Fall Lake and Fenske Lake, secure BWCAW permits separately if planning day trips into the wilderness.
