The Edge

Exactly what we were looking for. Easy to find, easy to get to the Mayo Clinic, safe, quiet, private. Edward has spent a lot of time and effort to make this a comfortable and welcoming place. Please check it out. Especially after the maddening construction conditions near the clinic.

Nice site but the trees are so low I have hole in my roof and scratches all the way down the side of my 30’ trailer now. I had to use a chainsaw to cut branches off several trees just to be able to pass. I will not stay here again. The entrance to the site is angled the wrong way and is narrow. You have to back in from a road about 10-12’ wide. I wouldn’t take anything bigger than a pop up camper here in its current condition.

Nice spot for a layover

20 ft truck camper ·

This was actually my first Hipcamp. I rolled in off of I 90 on a cross-country trip, mile and a half north of the highway, and there it was, better than advertised. I had it all to myself, which would’ve been fine if I had to share, but I didn’t. It was getting on in the day, but I walked around the area and realized I was encased in a cornfield. I stayed in site 1 with my truck camper, the tent options looked real nice as well. Never saw a single person. Rolled out early and called it a success story.

For the price, it’s a great pit stop going from north to south or vice versa. Campsite was clean, only thing I’d change is the outhouse needs some fly strips or something because they definitely are everywhere. My kids really enjoyed the zip line and playground.

Could be a great place

This could be a nice spot if it was kept up a little more. Maybe a run through before each new camper comes. We did have trouble backing a camper in. There is not enough turn around space with the farm feilds and we wanted to be observant of the farm fields planted. The ambiance was nice.

The cabin was nice with two twin mattresses and one full. Outhouse was clean. Zip lines were fun for the kids. There was no running water on the property. And our dog loved chasing deer and rabbits. Good location, nice size property to wander around and my family would enjoy camping here again. Thanks Edward!

Right next to a highway and an airport, so not as secluded as it makes it out to be (also very loud). The cabin was really cute, the mattresses were cozy, and there were bright indoor lights (very helpful at night. There are all sorts of small home made zip lines throughout the trees. Tent sites 1, 2, and 3 are very close together and basically intersect, also to get to the restrooms, the people in the cabin would have to walk right next to your site. Site 4 is more secluded and feels more private. There is not much privacy between the cabin and the campsites (fine for as as we were the only ones at the site). The biggest problem we had was the front door only opens about 1/3 of the way, making it hard to load and unload things. That and the front doorknob didn't latch, so the only way to lock it is with one of those security guard latches. This caused the door to consistently slam open the 2-3 inches the latch would allow leaving a big enough gap for bugs, mice, or any small critters to squeeze through. It would also let in the cold air right next to the main bed (directly next to the front door). Only stayed 1 night out of 2 due to this. Also, definitely bring a flashlight. The lights in the bathroom do not work.

This was my 5th time visiting The Edge, and I continue to come back in part because it has been a nice place for relative solitude and privacy, yet close to grocery stores, etc. In addition, the property is the very favorite of my dog! He loves being off-leash in the wooded area, and although he is an old man, he acts like a pup when he is here. Will be back again as time allows.

Overall a great place to camp! We loved it. Not at private as lead on to be, all campsites are directly next to each other, and within eye-site. Glad we were the only ones booked for the weekend as privacy in the woods is what we were looking for.

We had a great time at the Edge! It seemed like we were the first campers of the season so we did have to clear out a lot of cobwebs and air out the space. The water also wasn't running. However we were the only ones there and stayed super dry in the cabin during the rain! Will be back soon!

Third Time is Still A Charm!

With pets ·

Third time at The Edge charming rustic cabin since earlier this summer. It was wonderful to see the seasonal differences of the surrounding corn and soy bean fields over the months. Other than the host Edward stopping by on the day of arrival to show me the ropes of the wood stove, my dog and I had complete solitude for four nights. Like my last two visits, I hit the weather jackpot with sunny breezy days near 65-70 degrees and mild nights. Hard to imagine tiring of this sweet place. Edward has been timely in responding to all my questions and for those who aren't familiar with the general area, everything you can imagine for your camping/cabin/food needs are about 10 minutes away (Fleet Farm, Menards, various fast and slow food restaurants, etc.).

Great Family Camping Getaway

Tent ·

We camped in a tent on site 1 and had a great time! We did hear a few planes, but it was well worth it! The site was flat and close to the bathroom (which was really nice and stocked). Edward was kind both in communication through the app and in person. There was a great view of sprawling fields and beautiful stars. We took our four young children and it was so nice to have it close to Rochester, yet feel so removed to really enjoy some family time. Our kids had the quintessential camping experience they've been longing for months. I would highly recommend coming to The Edge!

Great Quiet Spot Amid Corn Fields

Tent · With pets ·

The Edge was a great place... lots of private space. Spots are close, however, there are so many trees and brush that you can't really see others. Nice open areas, corn fields, port-a-pottie type restroom. Dogs loved being off leash. Easy to find. Only downside was the airport near by. A lot of private planes flew the night I was there.

Rustic Cabin in Lovely Setting

With pets ·

This was my second trip to the cabin at The Edge; it will likely not be my last. This is one of my favorite places to visit! First, a few things to consider: The entire property has no electric or potable water. The ceiling lights inside the cabin are VERY dim, so bring good supplemental light. The exterior light over the door is also VERY low light. The lovely hanging garden lights around the parameter of the site are lovely but dim solar lights. Second, bring something to use for curtains. There are four windows in total; I use a cut up light weight canvas painter's cloth cut into quarters and they work really well! I tie them back during the daytime for added light. Third, this cabin in RUSTIC, in that there are well-used (not fresh) sheets on the beds and is quite dusty. I bring my own fitted sheet and blankets/pillows. Some folks might like to use a sleeping bag instead. Fourth - there was recent rain and lots of mud; one family using a tent site got stuck - they were driving a van rig and pulling a car - ultimately, they had to call a pro towing service and it ate up a couple of hours of their day and a few hundred $. I imagine this can be remedied by contacting the owner first to hear about conditions. This is a beautiful little area that I cherish. There is airplane and car noise, but I was easily able to block it out and enjoy the birds. On the edge of a wooded area and up-close-and-personal to acres of corn and soybean fields. I can hardly wait to return.

This is a really cool Hipcamp with several sites and a cabin. I was only here for one night but it was a quiet stay despite being near an airport. I'm an aviation fan so I didn't mind that, at all. You can tell that the host really cares that you have a good experience.

Grill with shelter -not a camp site

This little cabin was the cutest and coziest little thing. Perfect for a small group. There are three beds (full size), not two, and the cabin was clean. The out house was, an out house. Stinky but not unbearable. I'd put a candle in there and prop the door open while you use it to allow air flow. The site was private since there were no other campers, otherwise they would have been in close quarters. The only downfall id say is that it took 3 hours for the host to respond to our messages and calls upon arrival. This led to us worried we may not get in the cabin and so we drove into town to get a tent. We got a cabin code from hipcamp, not the host, via email, 2 hours after we first reached out. We were just getting settled in when the host responded and he was defensive and short with me because he was "busy." Not impressed by that. So the property was great but customer service sucked.

Ed was very accommodating and responded to all communication promptly. The weather was not on our side this weekend (it rained a good chuckle of the time), but the shelter was nice to use for cooking and getting a break from the elements. Unfortunately our 5th wheel got stuck because of the wet conditions and Ed allowed us to leave it until the ground dried. The group area had a nice breeze and plenty of seating. Nice place and we would definitely stay there again.

A Quiet Place to Relax

With pets ·

Host Edward always answered my questions very promptly. The property is a patch of wooded area surrounded by corn fields. It was beautiful! The small cabin is located at the edge of the wooded area and the front porch faces the corn fields. I did hear traffic in the distance and a few airplanes every day; the sounds did not bother me at all. Lots of birds to listen to and watch! The cabin is quite cute on the exterior and basic and rustic on the inside; no electrical or water, although there is a main outhouse and I think a non-potable water source; I had self-contained equipment and supplies so can't speak to either. There is a wood burning stove that I did not need to use because I was plenty warm at night. The windows (4) do not have window coverings and I knew this in advance, so just brought cloth and pins to take care of that. I originally booked two nights and loved the experience so much, I was able to stay a third night (and will be returning for four nights in the fall!) If you like rustic, you will likely love staying at Edward's place! PS while I stayed in the cabin and also no one else on the property, I got to peek at the camp sites as well. I would definitely be delighted to tent camp on any one of the sites; a couple were quite spacious and all had sturdy fire pits.
