Hi everyone, we are headed to Backus mid-July to pick up our new 13'. We are thinking it is a good idea to camp close by the first night for a shake-down. Any...

Lake Itasca is the headwaters of the Mississippi River and it is a very nice campground. Listen to what Brian said about checking everything while you're at the factory.

This campground is right off the Hwy almost directly across from BIR (Brainerd International raceway). Its a good campground and near enough to Backus if you still need to go back for some reason. Its about 20-25 minutes down the road. We usually stay at state and Corp of engineer campgrounds. This is south east of Backus. http://www.recreation.gov/camping/gull-lake-recreation-area/r/campgroundDetails.do?contractCode=NRSO&parkId=73439
