About this place

Near Finland. Minnesota's first backpacking-only campground, along the Manitou River and Benson Lake. Per MN Rules 6100.1000, portable gas/liquid-fuel stoves and charcoal burners are allowed (open campfires require a provided fire ring) — but this is backcountry, not a typical drive-up grilling spot.
