Discover Banning State Park RV rentals for memorable road trips

Just a few miles north of Sandstone, surrounding the banks of Kettle River in Minnesota, is Banning State Park. The park protects over 6,000 acres of Mille Lacs Uplands, an area that still bears the scars of the forest fires and growing industry of the 19th century. Even though the land is still recovering, the birch and aspen forests, along with the sounds of songbirds and running water, transformed this place into a true garden of tranquility.

Getting Outdoors

Thrillseeker types are usually the ones who get the most fun out of Banning State Park. The rapids here are so iconic they have their own names — Hell's Gate, Little Banning, Blueberry Slide, Dragon's Tooth, and Mother's Delight. Even guests who aren't kayaking love watching others who do, so one way or another, this is a fun activity here.

Camping at Banning State Park

Banning State Park RV campgrounds offer over 30 wooded sites, and nearly a dozen of them have electric hookups. Fifty feet is the RV length limit. There are also a few canoe sites located along the coastline of Kettle River, but these operate on a first-come, first-served basis. If you're planning to camp in a motorhome at Banning State Park between April and November, you can reserve your site in advance.

Exploring the Area

Sandstone is most likely the first place you'll visit on your Banning State Park camping adventure, especially if you want to restock on your supplies or refill your tank. Each year, Sandstone hosts a big art festival where you can see crafts and paintings made by local artists. This is organized by Old School Art Center, which also has an amazing gallery and shop where you can purchase a gift for a loved one, or something to add to your own collection back at home.

This was our very first time renting and driving an RV. Brian and the RV were both fantastic. He walked us through what we needed to know and was very responsive when we had a question during our trip. And the RV was easy to drive and everything worked great. And the beds were super comfortable. I would definitely rent this RV again from Brian.
