Stories from the community

2 nights at Prairie Creek Campground

My family and I really enjoyed our site. My labradors especially loved being right on Prairie Creek. There’s a bunch of trails to access from the property which was awesome. The sites were well maintained and having a cart to bring our gear back was a great surprise. I would recommend this to anyone.

2 nights at Prairie Creek Campground

This campsite was amazing! 5min off the road but completely surrounded by woods. Could hear owls and coyotes at night. Easy access to Caron Park and the waterfall next door. The campsite was clean and taken care of and Stephen was very friendly. Definitely coming again!

Weekend Trip to Prairie Creek Campground

Camping here was such a peaceful and adventurous experience! So many trails near the campsites to explore and the creek is just beautiful. Would definitely recommend staying here!

Weekend Trip to Prairie Creek Campground

We loved tent camping. The fire ring was easy to use and very safe. We hiked to the local county park with a beautiful but chilly stream. Overall, peaceful and lovely stay.

Weekend Trip to Whippletree Farm & Nature Trail

Beautiful farm near the Twin Cities with a great auto site. We needed to try our RTT before a trip out west and decided this was a perfect spot to give it a try. Only about a mile from the Gateway trail and a speedy 25 mile RT bike ride to downtown Stillwater for breakfast on a patio. Really a great option if you are looking to avoid crowds and noise at a public campground.

Weekend Trip to Fischer's Rolling Green Farm

Great stay - hosts are kind and helpful. They were very flexible when it came to tent site and access to the animals. My daughter loved feeding the pigs! Bathroom is clean, nicely furnished and convenient.

Weekend Trip to Two Bees & A Bud, Flower Farm Camp

If you're looking for tranquility, this campsite is a hidden gem. Nestled right on the lake, the views are stunning—especially at sunrise and sunset. The site was clean, well-maintained, and quiet except for birds and other animals. Definitely recommend for anyone who enjoys nature without the crowds. I can't wait to go back once the flowers are blooming to see the flower farm in full bloom!

Weekend Trip to Two Bees & A Bud, Flower Farm Camp

If you’re looking to feel like you have the entire woods to yourself, this is an excellent choice. Christine is a wonderful host- I arrived and my fresh farm eggs were waiting for me on the campsite picnic table! I brought way too much gear for a single overnight stay, but there is a handy heavy duty wagon right next to the grass parking area. It’s about a 5 to 7 minute level / easy walk to the single campsite, which is HUGE. We only used a small 3 person tent, but the pad could accommodate a mobile barracks. There’s a fantastic fire pit surrounded by several log seats, and firewood was provided! We feel asleep to a wonderful chorus ensemble including frogs, coyotes, and an owl. The campsite sits only a few hundred feet from a decent sized pond / lake- which contains so much wildlife! We woke up early and from our lawn chairs we saw trumpeter swans, a few common mergansers, herons, a great egret, ducks of all sorts, chipmunks, several deer, a muskrat or two, sandhill cranes, and a turkey! I will definitely be camping here again in the future and hopefully taking advantage of some of the unique offerings at this site (the eggs were delicious)!

2 nights at Belle Creek Bluff

My girlfriend and I had a great time camping in the green cabin! The land was beautiful and our puppy loved swimming. Crossing the creek to get to the campsite added to the adventure!

1 night at Prairie Creek Campground

The directions were fairly easy to follow. The #4 site was well out of site of other campers, which is what we wanted. The host was easy to contact. At one point, the other campsites were playing music very loudly. Stephen checked in with me and with the other campsites, and it all worked out great. The hiking trails nearby were fun to explore as well. The bathroom was a fair walk, and when the site says they recommend 4-wheel drive to get up to the site, that is good advice! We loved being in our hammocks and being surrounded by so many trees. No matter the time of day, it was easy to find sun or shade at the site.

Weekend Trip to Sassy Fox Acres

We loved camping on Tricia's land! The sites are big and spaced out well. They have fresh eggs and produce for purchase and i wish we got some before we left but forgot! They provided us with a cute welcome bin full of camping essentials. They were soo sweet, welcoming, communiative, and responded in a timely manner. They provided us with great suggestions of around the area! I would definitely come back!

Weekend Trip to Sassy Fox Acres

Loved camping on Tricia's land, the campsites were well sized and she was very accommodating. The surrounding land was a great view for sunrises, sunsets and you could even see the stars at night time. Would definitely consider camping here again.

Weekend Trip to Twin Folk Farms

Great camp spot. Would recommend. Property as advertised.

Weekend Trip to Whippletree Farm & Nature Trail

We chose this spot because it was close to the activities we wanted to do in the city but a remote place to set up camp. Peter had clear directions & the spot was perfect for a big tent & a hammock. We saw deer every night, turkeys & heard an owl. The wagon provided was perfect for hauling our gear to the spot. Would recommend!

Weekend Trip to Evergreen Oasis Farm

We had a great time on Tim's farm! We stayed in our camper near the playground, which was perfect for our two children. They have a great little farm store with tasty ice cream and other fun finds. Of course the highlight were the alpacas and the sheep. We went to interstate park and hiked to Taylor's falls which was beautiful and only about 10 minutes away. We will be back!

6 nights at Champion Valley

One of the nicest spots and we've been all over the US. Dogs loved it as well. We stayed at Turtle point, Base camp and Gus's Grove. Will return!

Weekend Trip to Fischer's Rolling Green Farm

Wonderful weekend to stay at the farm. Great location, adorable animals, and friendly hosts.

Weekend Trip to Sassy Fox Acres

It’s a very comfortable place and the 3 sites have plenty of space between. You are close to a county road but it’s not busy, so it didn’t bother us at all. Tricia is great and we bought firewood, asparagus and eggs - it was perfect. No electric but good for us. Thanks Tricia!

Weekend Trip to field view campsite

The field view campsite is a very nice and cozy campsite with BEAUTIFUL sunsets. You feel you are one with nature with the amazing sounds of all the wildlife from turkeys, birds, and coyotes. The goats at the farm provide entertainment and are the cutest to watch. Kristin also welcomed us at the campsite and was very kind and welcoming. It was a wonderful way to spend the weekend.

Weekend Trip to Honeyberry Minnesota working farm

This spot was fantastic! Open and spacious it met our needs perfectly.! Site 2b was well marked at the top of a knoll with nice tree coverage and a nice level area to park. Only 15 min to Stillwater.

Hazel hills

2 sites · Lodging, Tents7 acres · Somerset, WI

Enjoy our back lot for a private campsite which borders a prairie preserve. Watch the deer come in the morning and evening and listen to our friendly, happy hens cluck away, not to mention all the beautiful song birds. We are happy to share our golf clubs and balls to hit a few into the field. Our kids love it! Tree coverage along with an open field. We cut the field to offer a walking trail to the prairie preserve. There is a tree surronded, very private tent site for tenters, but if you have a camper you can find a spot that works best for you! (The tent site is very private and a camper would not fit.) We are a short 10 min drive to Stillwater but there is so much to do in Somerset! Take a walk around the prairie preserve and kayak down the apple river, but don’t forget the local brewery and boutique shop. There is some great fishing on local lakes in the area as well. We offer a 30 amp electric hook up and our hose for water. We also have a shower tent with a camping porta potty.

The Double J

6 sites · RVs, Tents71 acres · Zumbrota, MN

Welcome to the Double J! Of the 71 acres we own, about half is tillable and the other half is woods and pastures for our horses. Within that, there is a beautiful secluded 3-acre meadow nestled down along along a beautiful 1,200 foot stretch of the Zumbro River where we have 5 spacious tent/RV campsites. While the campsites are all adjacent to each other along the river, they are each very spacious (the smallest being 100' wide and 75' deep), with some mature trees scattered around. Each sites (except Site #1) is able to accommodate up to 8 people and more than one tent or RV. There is a small meadow above all the sites where campers can play catch or other games. We provide and maintain a centrally located outhouse and keep the entire area mowed throughout the year. All sites offer great shade trees (perfectly spaced for hanging up a hammock) and access to the river - great for those hot summer days! Water activities to be enjoyed include fishing, swimming, canoeing, kayaking, paddle boarding and tubing (equipment not included). Some campers will drop in upstream at the Covered Bridge Park and float down to their campsite. The Zumbro River, especially in the fishing hole, offers great fishing including Trout, Small-mouth, Red-horse, and an occasional Northern or Sauger. Campers are welcome to to meander out into our pastures to pet our two horses, Shiloh and Champ. Also, we are just over a mile from town where you can visit Covered Bridge Park which has a Frisbee golf course and a nice play area for younger kids. Reserving adjacent sites, or all of the sites, makes for the ideal setting for a large family or group camp-out. In order to prevent overcrowding, we do reserve the right to limit number of sites, or campers per site based on overall parties/campers in the camping area. We will notify you if there are any limits at the time of your booking. We enjoy being able to share our property with others, and it is our desire to promote a safe, peaceful, family-friendly environment, therefore, be sure to note, we do have a NO ALCOHOL policy. PLEASE NOTE: Be sure to read the "RV Details" on the site information page as the road to the camping area may limit the type or size of RV due to a couple dips, a sharper curve, and it's steeper slope. Also, keep in mind, we reserve the right to cancel any reservations due to heavy rains or floods that may require our sites some additional time to dry out sufficiently. For updates and notice of last minute cancellations be sure to follow us on Facebook at: www.facebook.com/DoubleJCamping As is customary for most campgrounds, we ask that if you bring in your own firewood that it be kiln dried. Dry firewood can be purchased for $5.00/bundle. TIP - Being we do not reimburse campers in the event of rain (unless campground is flooded or too muddy), we highly recommend campers take advantage of Hipcamp’s Weather Guarantee option when booking. With Minnesota’s unpredictable weather it allows you to get reimbursed for any days it rains over a specified amount, even if you choose to stick out the rain! The cost is very reasonable making it almost a no-brainer! Don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions! We look forward to being able to serve you!

Stone Creek Farm

Situated on 36 acres, this working farm is 2 miles West of Taylors Falls. Dan 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.
