Hi John, If you include north of town there is camping at Bunker Hills Park
http://www.anokacountyparks.com/camping/default.htm in Coon Rapids. My recollection is that it is $15 a night and that includes showers and flush toilets. There is nothing special about the campground and nothing wrong with it either. There is a good water park nearby in the Bunker Hills Park but those folks don't have any reason to come into the campground and they do not. The campground is not far from the Coon Rapids Dam where several multi-use trails meet, including one I often take down the WEST side of the Mississippi to I-694 where I cross over to the EAST side. To do that you would go south from the campground to the dam and cross the spillway at the dam and then head south from there. It is about 20 miles to the heart of downtown Minneapolis from there. There are some twists and turns in this route that are not all obvious to the first-time user. Depending on when you might be here I might be able to provide further information. For now I can't help much. I leave early Thursday for an 850 mile round trip tour to a family reunion - back on about Aug 19 or so. Good luck. Use Google map and get in touch with the campground folks if that looks like a possibility. -jb On Mon, Aug 2, 2010 at 8:04 AM, JB <baile...@voyager.net> wrote: > Does anyone know of a campground in the Minneapolis area where a guy > could drive to and then bike into the city on a bike trail?
