RV rental Banning State Park, MN: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

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. Showers and toilets are near the sites, and you can also purchase firewood about five miles away from the campground. The park also boasts a lovely picnic area overlooking the river, which is also ADA accessible.

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. While you're browsing the area, take some time to visit Sandstone History and Art Center. Learn about the area's railroad history and the Native Americans of the Sandstone area, as well as the pine forest conflagration that happened in 1894, a disaster that scars the area to this day. If you'd like to know more about what happened during the 1894 tragedy, also known as the Great Hinckley Fire, then you need to go to the town of Hinckley. The flames engulfed over 200,000 acres of land and half a dozen communities. This tragedy took hundreds of lives, and one of the purposes of the Hinckley Fire Museum is to honor their memory and tell the story of that event. You'll learn all about how it happened and about the heroes who helped the fleeing citizens. If you want to cheer up after the dreadful history lesson, you can stop by a restaurant and enjoy a delightful meal. Hinckley has cozy taverns, pizza places, fast-food joints, and Mexican restaurants where you will definitely find something you like.
