Camping: Seasonal and Monthly
Those who just can’t get enough of the scenic beauty at Minnesota state parks in a week or two, should act now to nab one of the few campsites available for longer stays, according to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR).
At a limited number of state park campsites, visitors can stay for a whole month or even a full season, most of which run May 3 – Sept 1, 2013. Kilen Woods season is May 24 – Sept. 1. Reservations for any of these opportunities are due by April 5, 2013.*
Reservations
For monthly campsite reservations, the entire monthly fee is due by April 19. For seasonal campsite reservations, a one-month down payment is due by April 19, and the remainder of the seasonal fee is due when visitors arrive to check-in. If a lottery is not necessary and sites are available after April 1, the monthly fee must be paid at the time of reservation to hold the site.
For pricing and other park-specific information, or to apply for/make reservations, call the individual park that you are interested in.
