Late getting out of the office on a Friday and into that motor home for a weekend getaway? No problem. Fire that baby up and motor north a couple of hours to Father Hennepin State Park on Lake Mille Lacs. Residing on the shores of one of the state's best fishing lakes, this 320-acre slice of Eden boasts enough peace and quiet to recharge the batteries of even the most stressed-out camper. In addition to 103 wooded campsites, 51 sites with electric hookups are available, big enough for RVs up to 60 feet long. Bring your boat and float it in Mille Lacs from a park launch site. 1-866-857-2757.
