Poplar River Rustic Campground in Minnesota. Ringed marker is this site; the other dots are the 151 public campsites we map in Minnesota.
Poplar River Rustic Campground is a 4-site campground that is available to visitors on a first come/ first served basis. It is unusual in that it is located on the edge of a river rather than a lake. Several of the sites have access directly to the river, so stream fishing for trout can be done right from your campsite! Trout and salmon fishing does require a trout/salmon stamp in addition to a valid Minnesota fishing license. This campground is also right on one of the roads included in our Fall Color Tours, so it is good spot to stay during the fall color season.
Motocamp routes the vehicle you are actually in and picks up the road surface on the way. Download the state and it keeps working with no signal.
