3 nights at Makers Acres

Camp sites were great. Very accommodating. Have access to a lake right on property. They have various activities to keep the whole family busy. Dogs and cats were very friendly.

1 night at Unplugged Tiny Home + RV Sites

We loved camping here and wish we could had more time than our quick, overnight Stay! It was quiet, clean, and well-maintained. The green are was amazing for the children and dogs.

Great spot, very remote and quiet. Would definitely stay here again.

Weekend Trip to Wise Woods on Fool Lake

What a great piece of lake property to camp! After a short drive up a wooded path you are greeted by a lovely piece of wooded lake heaven with open vista to the lake. The property has an elevated area where we put our Chalet and two tents. This is where the outhouse is located as well. The property has a partial "road" down to the lake where you can tell some people may have driven. Not steep however. There is a flat area by the lake where a fun two person swinging bench is located and large fire pit. Fools Lake is clean and clear for swimming and kaying, my favs. We were in the lake all the time. I enjoyed the ease of steps into the lake. There is a sandy bottom with some rocks (wear your water shoes) but so easy to lauch your canoe or kayaks. There is a large dock as well. This property is well hiden for privacy. Quiet. Beautiful. We will return.

Weekend Trip to Alpha and Omega Pizza Farm

Great experience. Cinnamon rolls were amazing. Clamping tent was very comfortable.

1 night at Alpha and Omega Pizza Farm

This was a great place to camp. Everything was perfect and the hosts were very responsive to questions/needs. It was a great stay and I look forward to going back for a return trip.

Weekend Trip to SOL VIND - Lakeside Camping Retreat

We stayed with Sarah and Scott for 2 nights in a 15ft travel trailer. Directions were good. You do have to back in from the road but we had no issues and got right in. I suggest walking the road before backing in. The weather was super hot, this is the perfect spot for escaping the heat and enjoying the lake. Our hosts were so friendly and incredibly kind to share their beautiful place. The campsites are close to each other ( we lucked out and had the place to ourselves) but you won’t spend much time at your spot. There is a beautiful clean beach, lots of seating, manicured lawn with plenty of shade. We saw lots of birds there and turtles too. Father Hennepin state park is a short drive away with easy hiking trails. The town of Isle also has 2 convenience stores. There is an outhouse only but Sarah has everything you need in there and it was nice and clean. We did go through a frightening storm, with incredible winds coming off the lake. So if you know it’s going to rain, SECURE everything just in case. We did not and regret that. We had a relaxing and fun weekend and will definitely be back.

Weekend Trip to The Woods

This is a great secluded site protected from wind and miles from anyone. Contrary to another review there are no porta potties, which is fine for me, but should be known. Nice paths through the woods. Excellent fire wood at the site with an honor box. Great directions and easy to find. Michael was super quick to respond to questions etc. 2 small towns 10 minutes away if you want to grab a beer and a burger at the local dive. Highly recommend checking this place out.

Weekend Trip to The Camps at the Vineyards

Cozy spot, beautiful area. Was just passing through MN and it was a great place to spend a quiet evening. Definitely recommend. A couple notes, I didn't have cell service out there so make sure to record the directions and instructions before you arrive. Also, wish I would have taken them up on a couple of those firewood bundles to quiet the mosquitoes.

Weekend Trip to The Forest Container

Staying at what I would call an art installation during a heat wave made our weekend at Cayuna a trip to never be forgotten! Finding solace in an AC shelter was an amazing experience in 90° weather. I will definitely come here again!

1 night at Alpha and Omega Pizza Farm

Kim and Brad were great hosts. The farm was very nice and it was very peaceful. Pizza was wonderful!

1 night at Cuyuna/Mississippi River Land

We had a great trip! The river access was fantastic and the site itself was lovely and well kept. Our 4wd vehicles had no problem getting back to the site, though as Leah mentioned a smaller vehicle would have struggled. Plenty of room for a couple of hammocks and a very large tent! Overall beautiful spot, we will definitely be back!

1 night at The Camps at the Vineyards

Beautiful property with trees, open spaces and a gushing river this time of year. The property is really well looked after with clearly marked campsites and fire pits. We lost cell service in town so make sure you review the directions beforehand or it may take a little longer to find your way. Carl was a good communicator and kept us well informed prior to our arrival and even came over with a bottle of plum wine (harvested from his property) to share. We would definitely stay here again. Excellent spot!

Weekend Trip to Cuyuna/Mississippi River Land

Site 2 was great ! Our Honda pilot AWD made the drive easily . Plenty of unsplit logs already cut up and stacked at the camp site ready for splitting and burning which was amazing ! Kayaks worked perfectly ! We will come back

Weekend Trip to SOL VIND - Lakeside Camping Retreat

We loved this cabin! It was perfect for a family with kids. The weather wasn’t the greatest while we were there, but the beach space was so beautiful and calm. Plenty of space and privacy for a weekend at the beach. The shower and bathroom were very convenient. As well as the coffee machine, fridge, and microwave. Very well put together and homey. We’ll be going back 🧡

Weekend Trip to The little cabin

This was just what we needed for our quick weekend getaway to attend a wedding reception! The Little Cabin is just that: a little cabin. Very cozy, efficient, and cute. The porch is just right for birdwatching, the property feels secluded and private, and we thoroughly enjoyed our overnight. Thank you for providing this space on Hipcamp!

Weekend Trip to The Forest Container

We loved the container cabin! We have a family of 4 it was tight but we made it work. First time in a bathroom like that didn't expect the shower to be hot but it definitely was! Very peaceful yet close enough to bike to everything.

Weekend Trip to The Woods

This is a beautiful, quiet and secluded spot with an excellent host.

Camping in Charles A. Lindbergh State Park guide

Overview

About

Come fly with us, we’ll float down to the banks of the Mississippi River to Charles A. Lindbergh State Park! The property was once the farm of its namesake congressman, father to the famous aviator who spent his childhood here (and some say, where he spotted his first airplane). The farm and town of Little Falls became destinations after C.A. junior flew the first-ever transatlantic solo flight in the late 1920s. The historic water tower and picnic shelters were built shortly after, in rustic New Deal construction using local stone and logs. After checking out the park’s historic buildings, take one of several hiking trails that weave through monumental oak and pine, and be on the lookout for owls, geese, fox, and bald eagles year-round. Who knows, maybe you’ll even spot a plane overhead!

When to go

The ideal time to visit Charles A. Lindbergh State Park is during the spring and fall when the weather is mild and the natural beauty is at its peak. Summer offers lush greenery, but be prepared for busier trails and warmer temperatures. Winter can be harsh, so check conditions if you're planning a cold-weather visit.

Know before you go

Highway 67 is closed; follow alternative directions provided for park access.
Check the park's website for the latest updates on trail closures and safety advisories.
Remember, GPS apps may not have updated road closure information—use provided coordinates.
For any inquiries, contact the park at 651-296-6157.
