Explore Minnesota State Parks with the Minnesota State Parks Passport Club
Minnesota’s State Parks offer a rich mix of scenic beauty, historical landmarks, and outdoor recreation across every corner of the state. From waterfalls and wildflower prairies to ancient rock formations and quiet lakeside retreats, there’s something for every kind of camper, hiker, or explorer. Whether you’re a weekend wanderer or on a mission to visit every park, the Minnesota State Park Passport program makes the journey even more rewarding.
What Is the Minnesota State Park Passport?
The Minnesota State Park Passport is an adventure incentive program that encourages you to visit all of Minnesota’s state parks and recreation areas. Available for a small fee at most park offices or online through the DNR, the passport is a keepsake-style booklet where you can collect stamps at each park. It's a fun way to track your travels and learn more about each location along the way.
How It Works:
1) Choose your destination:
The Passport Club book comes with a map and a list of all the Minnesota state parks and recreation areas. Decide where to start!
2) Get the stamp:
Find the stamp at the entrance station or kiosk of the state park or recreation area.
3) Get your rewards:
You’ll receive a pin and a certificate for a free night of camping when you get 25 stamps. When you’ve collected stamps for all Minnesota state parks and recreation areas, you’ll get a plaque and another certificate for a free night of camping.
For couples, families, solo travelers, and campervan explorers alike, the passport adds a rewarding challenge to every trip. It’s not just a log—it’s a motivator, a souvenir, and a badge of honor for discovering the beauty of Minnesota’s natural landscapes.

Why the Mini-T Campervan is Perfect for Passport Travelers
Traveling to all of Minnesota’s state parks is easier, more comfortable, and more efficient in a Mini-T Campervan by DLM-Distribution. This unique Class B campervan is small enough to fit in any campsite—even the compact ones in state parks that larger RVs often can’t access. At the same time, it’s fully equipped for comfortable, self-contained travel.
With its ability to operate entirely off the grid thanks to its integrated solar power system and robust battery management, there's no need for an electric campsite. That means you have more options and more freedom—whether you're staying at remote parks like Zippel Bay or popular destinations like Gooseberry Falls.
The Mini-T Campervan is also fuel-efficient, easy to drive, and practical enough to double as your daily driver. It fits in a standard garage at home and slips easily into city parking spots when you're not on the road. Whether you're a solo traveler, couple, or retiree with the Minnesota State Park Passport in hand, the Mini-T is an ideal RV for statewide exploration.
Explore the Parks with Confidence
If you're planning to visit all of Minnesota’s state parks, the Passport Program gives you a fun, rewarding goal—and the Mini-T Campervan gives you the freedom to pursue it on your terms. Comfortable, efficient, and ready to go off-grid, this small RV makes big dreams possible.
