One of my favorite parts of car camping is leaving the dehydrated food at home and grabbing the cast iron out of trunk . After no luck catching trout , we indulged in steak while camping in Camden .

Stories from the community

Weekend Trip to Mn River Valley Sanctuary

Beautiful place to camp! Edwin was very kind and welcoming! We were the only ones there for the weekend which was very nice! A lot of flat, open, but shaded spaces for tents. Perfect for hammocking as well! We bought a fire bundle prior to getting there via Hipcamp but didn’t end up using due to fire warning conditions and Edwin was kind enough to refund it. Only thing is there were no picnic tables so bring your own camp table! Had a great weekend in Franklin! Thanks Edwin!

Ambush City Park

20 sitesBenson, MN

Nestled in a historically rich area, this campground offers a unique blend of natural beauty and cultural significance, making it an ideal destination for outdoor enthusiasts and history buffs alike. The region was once the disputed territory of the Chippewa and Sioux tribes, where raiding parties created a challenging environment for early settlers. The first white explorer to traverse the future Benson area was Gideon S. Pond, an Indian missionary who sought to understand the local tribes' customs while accompanying a hunting party along the Chippewa River. It wasn't until after the Great Sioux Uprising that western Minnesota became a safe haven for white settlers. Ole Corneiliusen, a Norwegian immigrant, is believed to be the first permanent resident of the Benson area, arriving in 1866. By this time, the railroad had extended from Minneapolis to Delano, paving the way for increased settlement in western Minnesota. The early development of Benson and Swift County was closely tied to the railroad's expansion. In 1869, A.W. Lathrop and W.V. Lathrop opened the first general store in anticipation of the railroad's arrival. By 1870, the railroad had reached a designated trading center named "Benson," honoring a notable politician from Anoka. This rich history adds a unique charm to
