Camping And All Of The Above

Visit a state park without needing to buy a vehicle permit - Saturday only.

From the DNR's website:

Minnesota's 76 state parks and recreation areas are all offering free admission this day, and many of them have planned special activities to introduce you to the fun of geocaching, kayaking, camping, and other family-friendly activities.
