You will be in bear country, so no matter where you stay, please stay safe. Store food and dispose of garbage appropriately.
The food and garbage we can manage, three yappy dogs who can irk even a hibernating bear is what concerns me most. Any dog owners with experience taking dogs on trails? I can't imagine keeping them locked up in the RV all the time.
That's what you're going to have to do. Keep 'em locked-up, unless you want a bear attacking one of them. I have camped for almost as many years as I've been alive in the N. Minnesota wilderness and Boundary waters. One thing there is NO shortage of is bears in the North Country. May be best to leave your critters at home while in the camping scenes of N. Minnesota.
