Boondocking in MN

Hoping this is the correct place to post this. I'm wondering how you go about finding boondocking "sites." We are in MN and looking to take our RV to some of the National Forests in the area. We'd like to do some boondocking, but how do you figure out ahead of time where to go? How do you know what roads are accessible with a 29' camper so you don't end up 5 miles down a forest road with no where to turn around?

Go to Compendium on the internet and sign up its free and covers all states with all camping both improved and unimproved. Its my go to site when going in new areas.

Go to the Superior and Chippewa National Forest web sites and they have all the info on their campgrounds, most of which are fairly to completely primitive. Other good boondocking sites are in the MN State Forest campgrounds that are not heavily used. Both state and federal forests allow dispersed camping (not in campgrounds) with rules for distance from road, setback from water, no tree cutting to make a site, etc. These rules are on their web sites too. Loads of places to go. Watch for RV length limits.
