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 .

Weekend Trip to Mn River Valley Sanctuary

Super relaxing place. If you don't mind the roosters. Lots of area to pitch a tent. The property is super funky and the owners are super people. We have camped there 2 times and we will be back. Thank you Ed for sharing your place.
