On the other hand, if you pack too much, you may exceed the weight capacity of your RV and the integrity of its structure may eventually be compromised.

Follow this packing guide for your next RV adventure, so you can get out and explore.

Cooking Items

Aluminum foil is an essential cooking item that is easy to overlook at home. The typical RV doesn’t have the room for all of your kitchen equipment; you’ll need less of it than you have at home. Begin your Northern MN RV trip by planning a few meals, such as a few meals you will enjoy on your trip.

Now that you have a meal plan, you’re ready to pack:

  • cookware, like pots and pans
  • plateware, including plates and bowls (paper makes clean-up a breeze)
  • utensils for eating and cooking
  • aluminum foil
  • paper towels
  • trash bags
  • multi-purpose cleaner
  • dish rag
  • dish soap

When it comes to consumables, don’t forget to bring condiments from home. That’s easy to forget, since people use them so much at home. Don’t go out and buy extra salt or mustard when you could just bring them from home.

If you can, bring along a portable grill. A camping trip wouldn’t be complete without dining outdoors. Aluminum foil and grilling utensils will come in handy here.

Bedding Items

Packing bedding may seem like an easy assignment, but it takes a little planning in advance to ensure a comfortable night’s sleep.

  • You will need to pack similar bedding to the one you use at home. If you have electricity to run the air conditioning or heater, you won’t need extra blankets.
  • Depending on the time of year, you may have cooler nights so you may want the blankets.

Clothing and Personal Items

Be sure to bring your swimsuit. No matter where you are going, and for how long, there is no reason for you to pack more than two weeks of clothing.

In addition to other personal items, sunscreen, bug spray, and hats are essential while you are hiking in Northern MN and participating in other outdoor activities.

Outdoor Gear

It might be a good idea to bring a bicycle with you on an RV trip. The true purpose of your RV trip is to explore the outdoors, cook outside and take in the scenery of beautiful northern mn.

It is likely you will spend a lot of your time outside, so you should think about your patio area and what would be most comfortable for you. Some suggestions:

  • To prevent mess on the patio, use a rug.
  • Folding chairs for the outdoors
  • Foldable table
  • Of course, a grill too.

Escape The City And Enjoy Summer To The Fullest

northern Minnesota rv parksIt’s no exaggeration to say that the last year has been among the most stressful imaginable for many families. But with the Coronavirus thankfully on the way to being brought under control, many families (especially those with young children) will be looking to shrug off the effects of Cabin Fever by heading out into the welcoming arms of Mother Nature.

The increasing popularity of RV vacations, in part due to flight restrictions has led many families to seriously evaluate this sort of vacation option. In a country the size of America, with varied climates and such enormous natural beauty, this would come as no surprise. However, given this choice deciding where to go becomes an enormous challenge.

One would ideally find a region with great natural beauty and RV facilities that cater to all sorts of RV’s – and offers attractions close by that would offer an incredible variety and that beauty that nature can provide.

Fortunately, the United States has a variety of such areas. But again, what is the best choice?

The Voyageurs National Park wilderness, the Headquarters RV Park which can be found on the border of Crane Lake and Buyck, Minnesota simply ticks all the boxes. This a place where one can experience the wonders of the Minnesota wilderness – but still have all the comforts of home when it comes to RV amenities.

Set on 30 acres of natural beauty you will not be crowded. Unlike other top-class RV parks, there is only room for the select few (and for those who book their space early). The 15 full-service sites (with 30 or 50 AMP service and a natural rock surface) have everything that the family wanting to escape the confines of the city and the stress of daily life could ever wish for.

Those who want to immerse themselves in nature will be spoiled for choice with hiking and walking trails in the Voyageurs National Park wilderness – and for water lovers, easy access to the Boundary Water Canoe Area provides even more opportunity to enjoy the wonderful natural beauty of the area.

Those arriving will soon find themselves subject to the lure of Crane Lake and the greater North Woods area. If that is not enough, evenings under the clear, star-studded sky of Minnesota offer a fabulous opportunity to simply relax at the side of the rock fire pits which are a feature that is part and parcel of every RV site at this venue.

For those who want to just recharge tired emotional and physical batteries an RV excursion to Headquarters RV Park is one that will not only provide a reward in the short term but an experience that will live on in memory for decades, if not generations.
