A small group of us are planning on going on a muti day ride out in Price County in late spring or early summer and we are looking for some input on where a good place to camp is. I am not sure if we are going to just tent it or bring a small camper. A cheap motel may also be an option. I see on Park Falls' website that there are a number of places to stay right on the trails but someone's experience would be nice. Also I am looking for some cool places to go while we are out there as I have limited experience on that trail system.

Thanks

Matt

I seen the info on this campground, but don't like the idea of not having a reservation. I'd hate to drive 3 hrs and then find out the spots are all filled up.
