Stone Creek Farm

6 sites ¡ Lodging36 acres ¡ Taylors Falls, MN
Situated on 36 acres, this working farm is 2 miles West of Taylors Falls. Dan and Danielle bought this property with the intention of growing stone fruits (plums, peaches, apricots and cherries) using sustainable and organic practices because health and wellness matter to them! They are still in the process of improving their property. Many of the building on the property were in poor condition, including the old barn foundation which is now one of Dan and Danielle favorite places to keep cool in the summer. After they had excavated all the debris (which took years) they were able to transform it with gardens and fire pit for all to enjoy. They love sharing what they have been blessed with! They hope you enjoy their place as much as they do! Feel free to ask them to show you around or even get your hands dirty with them as they plant or harvest.

Other things to note:  Upon arrival guests can sign up at the sign up sheet on sauna fence for 2 hour private time slots in our wood burning Nordic sauna and use the outdoor shower area and bath in the summer. Sauna is year round. We do have dogs and chickens at our farm. Please keep dogs away from the chicken coop and run area.  The cabin sits back behind our farmhouse, but feels incredibly private and has a gorgeous view.   Frequently Asked questions: Can I check in early? I do my best to accommodate early check ins, but if the cabin is booked back to back I may not be able to.  Do you rent kayaks or canoes? We don't rent, but there are some great places nearby that do! We highly recommend getting out on or in the river!  Can you recommend places to visit or to eat?  I'd love to!  Just Ask!   Is there water in the cabin? Yes, there is water in the pump sink for doing dishes and drinking (not purified drinking water). Is there electricity?  The cabin is solar powered. Just keep in mind that you don't want to drain the battery by leaving things plugged in too long or leaving lights on. Is there a campfire area? Yes, we have a solo stove for outdoor fires and we supply wood for it. Is there a fridge? No fridge in the cabin, so we recommend just packing your food in a cooler.  One can be supplied if you don't have one.  What is the bathroom situation? Port o potty

Clover Bee Farm

4 sites ¡ RVs, Tents40 acres ¡ Shafer, MN
We are a small family farm. From April-October we make a living on the farm and enjoy rural life. We’re very busy during these months and if you stay with us you may be able to enjoy fresh produce for purchase- we also have neighbors that sell eggs, there is a Meat shop in downtown Lindstrom and 2 miles away is Rod's Country Corner (ice cream, pizza, sandwiches, essentials). So, you could have the opportunity for some delicious camp food while staying here. It is very beautiful with much to see and do. Things to note: 1. There are black bear in the area, please keep food stowed away in your car. at night and your campsite clean. 2. Storms pop-up and tents etc. are subject to wind, please be mindful of the weather and any incidents that occur are not liable to the property owners. When you arrive pull up in the driveway we will direct you to your location... and please park your vehicle close to your site. When you are tent camping this can come in handy during any inclimate weather, which can pop up randomly during the summer months. We have a composting toilet for guest use. Please read the instructions on the inside before using. This is a working farm, it can be unkempt or messy- it is also mosquito forward and wood tick forward-please bring bug spray. Many of our past campers have enjoyed the scenery despite being next to a slightly trafficked road. Also, fireworks are very popular with the neighbors in the area around July 4th. Please respect our quiet time, when the sun goes down-so do we. No Smoking Marijuana or Tobacco on the farm, and no pets. Preferably no glass bottles either. ++Attractions in the area++ Ice Age Trail Wild River State Park (canoe and kayak rental available) Interstate State Park (Boat Tours, kayak and canoe rental, hiking) The water park at Wild Mountain Boat Rental: https://www.captainshawnsrental.com/ Wineries: Chateu St Croix, Wild River Winery, Dancing Dragonfly, Rustic Roots Breweries: Uncommon Loon, Trap Rock Shopping: Antiques in every town!

The best camping near Interstate State Park MN guide

Overview

About

It’s a tale of two states at Interstate State Park, named the same thing on both the Wisconsin and Minnesota sides. It was the first park in the country to span two states (you’ll need different vehicle permits to pass between the two), and attracts geologists from all over the world for its insane rock formations. This park is home to the Bottomless Pit, the deepest explored pothole in the world at 60 feet deep, as well as several other hilariously named dents in the bedrock. The St. Croix River, a deep basalt gorge filled with glacial potholes, hosts scenic boat cruises if you want to relax, or you can rent a canoe or kayak for the day. Swimming there might be a little too dicey with the strong currents, but the river walls provide killer climbs for those interested (just make sure you sign the waiver in the park office before you chalk up).

Notable campgrounds

  • Yellow Medicine Campground – A serene spot for campers seeking a peaceful retreat amid the park's natural beauty.
  • Horse Campground – Perfect for equestrian lovers, offering trails and facilities tailored for horseback riding adventures.
  • Backpack/Watercraft Campground – Ideal for those who love to combine camping with hiking or water-based exploration.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  • Book early to secure your preferred campsite, especially during peak seasons.
  • Consider mid-week stays for better availability and a quieter experience.
  • Keep an eye on cancellations for last-minute opportunities.
  • Explore nearby camping options if your desired campground is fully booked.

When to go

The best time to visit Interstate State Park MN is during the spring and fall when the weather is mild and the natural scenery is at its most vibrant. Summer offers warm days perfect for water activities, though it's also the busiest season. Winters are cold and suited for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing, but be prepared for chilly conditions.

Know before you go

  • Check for any park closures or alerts before planning your visit.
  • Remember that Highway 67 is closed; follow alternative directions provided by the park.
  • Prepare for varying weather conditions and dress in layers.
  • Cell service may be limited, so download maps and information beforehand.
  • Respect wildlife and practice Leave No Trace principles to preserve the park's natural state.
