Where to stay in Camden
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Camden is a residential quarter of Minneapolis, so most beds sit in guesthouses and short-stay rooms rather than large hotels. Choose a base near the Lawrence A. and Mary Fournier House if you want quiet streets and easy access to the neighbourhoods further north. Stay close.
About Camden
What are the main landmarks in Camden?
The Lawrence A. and Mary Fournier House is the registered landmark that pins Camden on the map of Minneapolis. It is a single house, not a museum quarter. Around it the community reads as street after street of family homes, with the civic set-pieces of Minneapolis concentrated well to the south in the downtown grid rather than here in the northern communities.
What is the history of Camden?
Camden grew as one of the working communities on the north edge of Minneapolis, in the United States, filling in with modest homes as the city spread outward from its riverside core. Its surviving mark is the Lawrence A. and Mary Fournier House. That house records the era.
Later planning folded the neighbourhood into the formal community map of Minneapolis, grouping it alongside Near North and Northeast as the city organised its wards into named districts.
Where is Camden?
Camden occupies the northern reach of Minneapolis, a compact grid of about five square kilometres bordering the Near North community.
