The MN North Shore

Personally, I think the north shore area of MN is one of the nicest parts of the state. Starting in Duluth, go north east along the shore of lake superior as far as you want to go. The drive is really beautiful and there is plenty to keep you occupied. The split rock lighthouse is a pretty neat stop as is gooseberry falls SP.

In September, you will likely be a little early for fall colors, but you might get lucky and find the leaves turning towards the end of the month.

September is also prime time for apples... There are several orchards in the southern part of the state within an hour or two of the twin cities. You will probably find some varieties that you don't see anywhere else.

You will also find lots of cheese in Wisconsin and south east MN. Almost all of it is at least "good". Some of it falls into the "great" category.

I wish I could help with camping suggestions. When we lived there, I didn't have an airstream (or any RV in fact). We didn't do any camping back then.

We are planning to pass through MN the last week of August next year though, so if I find anything really nice, I will try and dig up this thread to let you know.
