July 2-5, 2015 Tettegouche State Park

We headed up to Minnesota's North Shore for the 4th of July long weekend. We hadn't stayed at Tettegouche and honestly I was a bit nervous about what the sites would be like. We were pleasantly surprised at the size of them and the number of them that we would fit into. Some are not level, but they are all very private and quite large.

June 26-28, 2015 Flandrau State Park

We went to Flandrau State Park with another couple for the weekend. They stayed in a camping cabin and we reserved the pull through site closest to the cabins. This turned out to be a very nice site. Easy to get into, very private and sun or shade whichever you preferred.

We hiked over to Schell Brewery through the park. It's a little under 2 miles one way and is a nice hike along the river. You come out right at the Brewery and don't have to worry about driving back after the taste testing! :)
