CAMDEN STATE PARK - Minnesota |
About
Welcome to Wander Without Wifi. We’re at Camden State Park which is about 3 hours South/Southwest of the Twin Cities. This area has been occupied for around 8,000 years, in part because of the beautiful Redwood River that runs through it and because it’s a natural wooded valley. We’re here to check out the campground, birds and flowers. Please like and follow us here and leave us questions and comments down below. Music is by Dan Lebovitz- Glen Canyon, Moving On, and Sweet Release. |
