For my college final as a product designer, I have to redesign a first aid kit for camping. I am trying to gather more information on already existing kits and improvements people would like to see. Any insight and feedback are greatly appreciated! It is relatively short, consisting of 16 questions. submitted by /u/marialemmons [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

What are the best sites at the park? We just booked BP14 for the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend and I was just curious how that site was compared to others/what the view was? Unfortunately booking sites a month out in advance for Memorial Day really limits our options, but I’ve heard nothing but good things about the backpacking here submitted by /u/pm_me_cute_sloths_ [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Had the camping bug, and the weather was too nice not to go for it. Felt good to beat the prime season rush. Also, I recently got a nice mattress to try out SUV sleeping. It was a little chilly, but I had a good sleeping bag and some toe warmers to stay snuggly. Temps got down to the upper 30s. submitted by /u/SmirkingGirl [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Working on booking out the last of our summer plans. For folks who have camped at Tettegouche- pros and cons of walk-in v. cart in sites? Spouse likes proximity to showers, I like to cozy up to the lake, so we've got one vote each over here at the moment.... submitted by /u/LoneLantern2 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Looking to do one of the backpack hike-in sites at Itasca with 5 others. Wondering if any of you had any insight on which of the 11 sites might meet most of the following: Good shore fishing. Close access to swimming that isn’t just wading thru muck. Probably does not existing at those sites but figured I’d ask. Adequate room for 3 two-person tents. Far away from others who might also be camping (least important). Any other info is also appreciated. Thanks submitted by /u/yyz17gh [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

My son loves to fish but I have really struggled to find any sites on water to fish besides Wild River, we do have the buck site booked later this summer. He’s just a bit too young for the boundary waters still, not sure how he would do paddling all day. Any other recommendations for sits on water that you can fish from? submitted by /u/mrmr2120 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hi! I'm going camping and hiking with a friend and her doberman in mid may. All of us are experienced campers and hikers but my knowledge of the SHT is limited. We're looking for a nice hike in site to use as a basecamp for day hikes which is ideally secluded for the dog and privacy. Any help is welcome submitted by /u/570rmy [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

The gate on Benson Lake Rd was locked until May 13th last year. Any way to figure out when this will be opened this year? submitted by /u/dkleckner88 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I'm having the hardest time finding small campgrounds in Northern Minnesota (outside of Duluth. I live in Duluth.) I'd like something that takes reservations because of anxiety and not liking the chance there won't be a site open. It's tent camping, don't necessarily need electric. Can do a short walk in but we have a big tent and 2 dogs. Are there any campgrounds I'm missing that won't pop up on Google? We've previously stayed at Fall Lake and Lodge of Whispering Pines in Ely, some where on the Echo Trail in Orr (can't remember what the campground was called) and all the way up in Munising ..read more
