My kids love camping!  One of my kids just got back from a campout in a yurt and my daughter has even gone backpacking at Isle Royale National Park.  We even had an adventure as a family and did a little bit of glamping in California.  Locally though, we don't really know the best camping spots so I asked around to get a few recommendations, and below are some of the top picks for the area from our listeners and fans of Y-105FM and Jessica On The Radio.

Whitewater State Park Campground 

Money Creek Haven in Houston, Minnesota

  • According to their website, this is the most secluded spot in Southeast Minnesota, so if you are looking for that, this is a winner.  I checked out their website and there are cabins you can rent, and there are a lot of fun, outdoor activities on site too.

Old Barn Resort in Preston, MN

  • This is one that I've actually been to...not to camp...but to drop off my kids to go camping with their grandparents.  This is one of my favorite areas though because of the rolling hills and all of the fun nearby.  The trail to get to Lanesboro is nearby and you can go tubing, golfing, and so much more in this area of Minnesota.

DREAM HOUSE: Perfect Minnesota Home Features Brewery and Ice Rink

I heard that Glen Perkins, former Minnesota Twins pitcher, sold his phenomenal home located in Lakeville, Mn a few years ago. The house is located at 24729 Dodd Boulevard in Lakeville and has 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, and 5,823 square feet. It originally went on the market in 2020 listed for $1,999,999 and sold in November 2020 for 2,670,00. It truly is the perfect house for anyone in Minnesota and honestly, the price is a steal.

Take a look at the photos below and see this gorgeous home for yourself!
